Flowers of Mary - Louis Gemminger

Excerpt from Flowers of Mary: Addresses in Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Delivered at Ingolstadt, May, 1858
A few years ago when the German edition of this little book first made its appearance in public, it pro duced a deep impression upon its readers. For more than a year, the thought constantly recurred to me, how much good might result in honor of the exalted Queen of Heaven if it were published in the English language; more especially as the addresses are con vincing and simple; while the language graceful and animated, speaks eloquently to the pious heart. Therefore I thought the book to be one of devotion for those people who speak the English language. That it may become properly such, I added to the addresses the Litany of Loretto, together with some other prayers suitable for the beautiful month of May.
