Here are some books that have been recommended - in looking at the saints of today, and the place of Mary in their lives, one must consider her formative presence in their lives. This happens through their relating to her and receiving from her council and direction. In addition, study and prayer are primary influences, but is not the very nature of the human formed in Christ also formed in Mary. Can we find Mary in every Christian, baptized into the life of Christ are they not formed in the womb of Mary too? What should we look for? What are the signs. The study of Mary, her nature, her person hood, her anthropology, should also lead us to find her in each and every person who desires to live respond to the graces God gave them at baptism.
