Virgo Facta Ecclesia: the Life and Charism of St. Francis of Assisi

Made up of two parts by two different friars: the first part is a short biography of St. Francis of Assisi, his and the early friars' love and devotion to Mary; the second part is on the Marian character of the Franciscan Order, based on its long tradition of Marian devotion, especially in championing the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary-- from St. Francis to St. Maximilian Kolbe.
