This August, our library is excited to showcase a special display dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a powerful symbol of devotion and faith. Each month, we will focus on a different theme, curating a collection of resources that highlight its significance. This month, we turn our attention to Mary鈥檚 profound interior life, marked by both joy and sorrow, yet always steadfast in her faith.
On August 15th, we celebrated the , when she was taken up into heaven in both body and soul. To honor this feast day, our display includes a diverse selection of books, art books, encyclicals, and several theses and professional papers from our alumni. These resources reflect the depth of Mary鈥檚 devotion and her role as a model of holiness.
Mary’s feast reminds us that we are created for the glory of God, and we must respect the dignity of every human life.
