The appearances of the Virgin Mary in every culture and era since the birth of Christ is without parallel or precedent. All peoples and nations have their own tale of the Virgin's visitation. She has left her mark in the lands of Hindus, Jews and Moslems, Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox, Buddhists and Shintoists, Confucians and Communists, Aztecs and animists, hunter-gatherers and city-dwellers. Her maternal presence has been perceived and portrayed in every major racial and social "world". She is without question the mother of all humanity, of all races and nations. She is the meeting-place of the mystical and the historical.

 

The places, images and events associated with the appearances have become an integral part of the cultural fabric of the societies that encountered the Virgin. So integral in fact that very few people have stepped back to consider the extraordinary panorama of peoples and places involved.

 

This is the "big picture" shown in Contact! The Virgin as encountered around the globe and across history.

 

From the introduction to Contact! by Bishop David L. Ricken

(Bishop Ricken declared the apparition of Our Lady of Good Help as worthy of belief making it the only Marian apparition approved in the United States of America)

I am very pleased to write this forward to Contact!, Roy Varghese's most recent book which tells the story of fifty verified encounters of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout history. This book is an excellent resource for those who wish to hear what Mary is saying to us and to see how she always leads us closer to her divine Son Jesus. .., When you read Contact!, I urge you to ponder the fact that these apparitions actually did happen. The veil of heaven was pulled back for a brief moment and the Mother of God spoke to us.

 

 

Reviews of Varghese's previous book on Marian apparitions

Ralph McInerny, renowned Catholic philosopher and author of the Father Dowling mysteries:

"Roy Abraham Varghese has just published ... a magnificent book, placing the apparitions in a theological setting, recalling the Church's attitude towards such happenings from the earliest times, and analyzing the interrelationship and common notes of the various apparitions. ... There may be no other single volume as informative and judicious as this one."

("To All Appearances," Crisis, May 2000)

 

Catholic News Service (CNS is the news agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

"I would definitely recommend the book to anyone who wants a lucid, comprehensive and intelligent approach to Marian apparitions. The book possesses several strengths. First, Varghese has the remarkable ability to explore 2,000 years of developed Catholic teachings on Mary and present the information in a cogent and easily understandable manner without marring critical distinctions. Second, Varghese's book stands apart from others because he searches all parts of the world to report on their experiences of Mary. Third, Varghese takes a rigorously academic approach throughout the book, avoiding the oversentimentalism to which so many Marian books fall prey." (Dimitra C. Bolger, "Intellectual Clearly Explains Mary's Apparitions," CNS, June 15, 2000)
