Sodality Of The Blessed Virgin Mary

About the Author

The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a venerable Catholic devotional society founded in the early 17th century at the Jesuit College in Rome, has long been a beacon for Marian piety and spiritual formation among the faithful. This collective authorship, rooted in the traditions of the Society of Jesus, produced the 'Manual of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Containing the Office, B. V. M. for the Three Seasons of the Year, According to the Roman Breviary, ... of the Sodality and Various Prayers, ...' as a comprehensive guide to foster devotion to the Blessed Mother. Through its structured offices, prayers, and rituals aligned with the liturgical calendar, the manual serves as an enduring resource for sodalists seeking to deepen their consecration to Mary, promoting virtues of humility, purity, and communal prayer within the Church's rich devotional heritage.
