The History of Devotion to Mary: She Who Leads Us to Jesus – Fr. John Langlois, O.P.

Fr. John Langlois traces how Marian doctrine and devotion—from Scripture and the early Fathers through medieval councils, liturgy, and architecture—culminate in the rosary as a Christ-centered, biblically rooted prayer that brings believers to Jesus through Mary’s maternal intercession.

This lecture was given on December 14th, 2024, at Dominican House of Studies.
