Mary Page is a link to a variety of information. The items give insight into our interest areas, our outreach, and the myriad ways people honor Our Lady. We welcome your input and your comments.

The Ascension of Our Lord
Information Service in Honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IDU)
German Resources: Institutum Marianum Regensburg e.V.

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Day of Obligation, the Ascension, on May 8 this year. It has long been a custom in iconography depicting the Ascension to show Mary in the midst of the Apostles at the moment when Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Today, Mary Page shares with you two images in our Marian Library prints:

The Ascension Manuscript

The Ascension Fra Angelico

Do you read German and want a quick overview of Marian events and sermon excerpts in Europe? We recommend to you the work of the Salterrae Schriftenapostolat. The apostolate produces three periodicals in simple format that is packed with information that is interesting and useful:

• The weekly Information Service
  Informationsdienst zu Ehren der Unbefleckten Gottesmutter Maria "idu"
• the monthly Information Pamphlet
  "Der Ruf"
• The monthly pamphlet for children
  "Marienbrief"

If you read German and are looking for scholarly materials in Marian Theology, we recommend the work of the Marian Institute in Regensburg, Institutum Marianum. The institute has produced the excellent five volume Marienlexikon and other significant Marian studies. For more information, write: Institutum Marianum Regensburg e.V.
