Saint John Eudes
One of the most prolific ascetical writers of the seventeenth century, Saint John Eudes was an inexhaustible reservoir of holy wisdom and devotional fervor. Loreto Publications considers it a foremost priority to help make the spiritual doctrine of this great apostle of devotion to the Sacred and Admirable Hearts of Jesus and Mary more widely known. Perhaps no book of his better exemplifies that profoundly incarnational doctrine than The Admirable Heart of Mary. Eudes reveals to his disciples this most pure and maternal of all hearts both in its corporal and spiritual pulsations, while demonstrating with a dozen unforgettable natural and scriptural analogies, how this human heart was so inexhaustibly divinized by the one Divine Heart of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The Admirable Heart of Mary was given to us from the Cross by Jesus Christ. Truly this heart was the first-fruit of His Passion, given to all of Mary’s children, that it might be honored, cherished, invoked and, ultimately, with that of her Son, reproduced in them. This is the essence of the spirituality of Saint John Eudes.

Written by Saint John Eudes, it helps to understand the tremendous importance and significance of the Immaculate Heart of our Holy Mother in our daily life.

Being devoted to St. John Eudes, lived around the 1600's I began an searching for every thing that I could find written by this saint, who was called the wonder of his age. for many years his devotional writings were lost, and unknown to the world. but then occasionally a volume was then discovered here and there coming out of the dusk. and so the church was set on fire because of his holy and devotional writings. in was early in 1946 that we had begun to discover his books coming over from France this book is one of those (The Admirable Heart of Mary) the had change the world. He had brought about a new thinking inspiring the church with a richness in the devotion to Mary that even today lives on within the church.
I have never read anything so powerful, so pack with inspiration and knowledge as this book.

(Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009)
A great perspective on the spiritual significance of the Blessed Mother in our lives, from the view of her Immaculate and Admirable Heart. A very rich exposition, similar to all that has been said about the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A very important book from a solid source, a 17th century Saint who relies on Scripture, Tradition and the Fathers to support his lofty assertions which can be quite astounding, stretching the limits about what we could know about Our Lady.
