About this book
“The virgin’s name was Mary.” — Luke 1:27, the text of the first sermon
St. Bernardine of Siena (1380–1444), the great Franciscan preacher of fifteenth-century Italy, gathered his sermons on the Mother of God into a single treatise. Here they are in English: on the glorious name of Mary, Star of the Sea and bitter sea; on her feasts; on the Annunciation and the Virgin’s consent; on her sorrow at the death of her Son; on her grace and glory, the Visitation, the Purification and the Assumption.
Each sermon unfolds in articles and chapters, rich in Scripture and in the Fathers. Translated by Campion Murray, OFM, with appendices of the works quoted and the Scripture references.
