Fifty years after the death of Bernard of Clairvaux, Alan of Lille died in 1202 or 1203 among the CisteOCIAns at Cîteaux. Celebrated in his own time as doctor universalis, Alan made pioneering contributions in a variety of genres. Best known today for his influential epic poems, the Anticlaudianus and the Complaint of Nature, Alan also composed a theological dictionary, a handbook for preachers, a defense of the catholic faith against the Cathars, and one of the first Marian commentaries on the Song of Songs. Translated here in its entirety for the first time, Alan’s Elucidatio in Cantica Canticorum illumines his other writings and provides a measure for the originality of his Mariology.

n My Queen, My Mother: A Living Novena, award-winning author Marge Steinhage Fenelon brings you along on a pilgrimage to nine Marian shrines across the United States. Each day of this spiritual journey helps you encounter God and a deeper relationship with the Blessed Mother.

My Queen, My Mother, I give myself entirely to you.

The opening line to the Little Consecration sets the framework of this unique, nine-day pilgrimage, which culminates in a consecration to Mary.

This living novena is similar in style and structure to the pilgrimage Fenelon developed in the bestselling and award-winning Our Lady, Undoer of Knots. The key difference, however, is that the first living novena was framed by Pope Francis"s visit to the Holy Land. For My Queen, My Mother, Fenelon chose sacred destinations that reflect the Catholic heritage of the United States.

The nine Marian sites Fenelon visits are:

• Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, St. Augustine, Florida;
• National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, New Orleans, Louisiana;
• St. Mary"s Mission and Museum, Stevensville, Montana;
• Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows, Starkenburg, Missouri;
• Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation, Carey, Ohio;
• The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, Champion, Wisconsin;
• Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs, Auriesville, New York;
• House of Mary Shrine, Yankton, South Dakota; and
• Our Lady of Peace Shrine, Santa Clara, California.

Even if you can"t make a physical pilgrimage as Fenelon did, you can still make a spiritual one through her extended guided meditation. Each day you"ll learn about a different shrine to Mary: its history, charism, and graces. Fenelon will also guide you to visit a new place in your heart, to understand more about yourself and how to open your heart more fully to Mary.

You are not tied to a pilgrimage of nine consecutive days: You can complete the spiritual journey in nine weeks or even nine months. There are reflection questions at the end of each chapter.

Even after Johnson moved to the United States, Our Lady of Charity continued to influence her life. In her new book, the bestselling and award-winning author shares her childhood recollections of the devotion to the patroness of her native country and stories of how Mary helped her deepen her faith and led her to Jesus. Johnson also invites you to know Mary in a new way and to allow devotion to the Blessed Mother to help you open your heart to others and to grow in faith and love.

The origin of the devotion to Our Lady of Charity in Cuba comes from a seventeenth-century story of three men who were tossed about at sea during a violent storm. They prayed to Mary for her protection and the storm suddenly disappeared. They found a statue of the Blessed Mother holding Jesus and a gold cross floating in the water. The statue included the inscription: I am the Virgin of Charity.The statue was completely dry as it floated in the water.

Our Lady of Charity is not a Church-approved apparition; nevertheless, several popes including St. John Paul II and Pope Francis, who celebrated Mass at her shrine during his visit to Cuba in 2015 have supported devotion to Mary under this title.
