I got a copy of the book that this is from, "The Glories of Mary," from TAN Books recently. I was supposed to read it on my vacation to England last week. I visited the Brompton Oratory and the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham while I was there. Unfortunately, I only was able to read St. Alphonsus' introduction on the plane ride there. I plan to read this excerpt this evening after work.
TAN's "The Glories of Mary" is wonderful! It is a blessing and you will be well-fed from it! It was a favorite of mine when I read it a few years ago when I was still Anglican.
Brompton? Is that where Holy Trinity Anglican Church is? Isn't that the church where Nicky Gumbel started the ALPHA course? (Sorry for threadjacking, I was looking at a ALPHA for Catholics website the other day)

Did you see sandyeggo's comment in #13 about how long it is? LOL!
