wrote a book called The Glories of Mary.

Correct.

It is fully authorized by the Roman Catholic Church. Its latest edition is a smaller abridged version of it, published by the Catholic Book Publishing Company of New York and officially stamped by the Vicar General, the Archdiocese of New York.

Nothing in that book which can be construed to be against the faith.

Here is a small sample

: Wonderful!

In the Marion year, Pope Pius XII apparently reflected the Church's view of the Virgin Mary when the Pope stood up to give this following Pontifical prayer, and I quote: "Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty

Psalm 45:9-11

9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.  10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;  11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast ourselves into your arms, O immaculate mother of Jesus

Luke 1:
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

and our mother,

Do you consider yourself one who keeps the Commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ?

Revelation 12:
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Mary we adore

Have you ever heard a man say to his wife, "I adore you." Does he mean that she is a goddess? Or that he loves her?

We adore Mary in the sense that we love her as Jesus Himself loved her. With a supernatural love.

and praise the peerless richness of the sublime gifts with which God has filled you above every other mere creature from the moment of conception

Luke 1:
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

until the day on which your assumption into heaven He crowned you Queen of the Universe.

Revelation 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

O crystal fountain of faith,

Luke 1:
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

bathe our hearts with your heavenly perfume. O conqueress of evil and death,

Genesis 3:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

inspire in us a deep horror of sin which makes the soul detestable to God and the slave of hell. O well-beloved of God,

Luke 1:
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

hear the ardent cries which rise up from every heart in this year dedicated to you. Then tenderly, O Mary, cover our aching womb, convert the wicked, dry the tears of the afflicted and the oppressed. Comfort the poor and humble. Quench hatred. Sweeten harshness. Safeguard the flower of purity. Protect the holy Church. In your name resounding harmoniously in heaven, may they recognize that all are brothers and that the nations are members of one family.

Rev 12:17, all who bear the testimony of Christ and keep the Commandments of God are her seed.

Receive, O sweet mother, our humble supplications and above all, obtain for us on that day, happy with you that we may repeat before your throne that hymn which is sung today around your altars, you are beautiful, O Mary, you are glory, O Mary, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people," end quote.

Amen! She is the Mother of Jesus Christ. No one can bestow upon Mary a greater honor than God already has.

No, there is no Mary worship going on here.

Absolutely none. All we do is imitate and obey Jesus. He gave Himself to Mary. And then He gave us to her as well:

John 19:
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Are you a disciple whom Jesus loves? I know I am. Therefore, in obedience to the command of Jesus Christ, I behold my mother when I behold Mary and I take her into my heart.

You can change the word worship to whatever you'd like, but this is straight up idolatry.

What is this that Joshua, one of God's chosen, did before St. Michael, the Archangel?

Joshua 5:14

King James Version (KJV)
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?

Sincerely,

De Maria
