Devotion to the Virgin Mary has been a constant in the spiritual life of countless generations of faithful throughout history. The figure of her as Mother of God and our mother has deeply touched the hearts of millions of people, who have found in her a guide, a consolation and an inspiration on their path towards holiness. «Marial Psalms: The Voice of the Heart in Praise of the Mother of God» is a testimony of this love and devotion towards the Virgin Mary, and an attempt to capture in verses the gratitude and admiration that she arouses in us.

In each of them, an attempt is made to capture a particular aspect of the Virgin Mary's personality and mission, and to offer a more complete and profound vision of her figure and her role in the history of salvation.

The purpose of this book is not only to provide material for prayer and meditation, but also to serve as a stimulus for reflection and dialogue on the importance of the Virgin Mary in our spiritual lives. For this reason, efforts have been made to make the psalms accessible and understandable to a wide audience, without renouncing the depth and beauty that characterize religious poetry.

It is my sincere hope that these Marial Psalms will be a source of inspiration and consolation for all those who read and recite them, and that they will help strengthen devotion to the Virgin Mary within the Church. By reading and meditating on these psalms, may the reader discover the tenderness and love of the Mother of God, and may his heart be filled with gratitude and praise for the One who, with her generous and humble yes, changed the course of history and opened the gates of heaven for us.
