Explaining the Titles of Mary in the Litany of Loreto

The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as the Litany of Loreto, is one of the Church’s most beloved Marian prayers – often prayed after the Rosary. Yet for many Catholics today, its rich titles can feel distant or mysterious. What do names like Mystical Rose, Tower of David, House of Gold, and Morning Star truly mean?

A Sky Full of Stars invites you to rediscover these ancient titles and encounter Our Lady more deeply through Sacred Scripture, Catholic doctrine, and living tradition.

A Trusted Catholic Resource

“A Sky Full of Stars must be an obligatory reference material for religion teachers and seminarians. Presenting the faith in its original clarity, it helps the reader to see the Virgin Mary within the perspective of sound biblical theology and solid Catholic tradition… and is also easy to understand.”
— Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas

This Second Edition includes the three Marian titles added by Pope Francis in 2020:
Mother of Mercy, Mother of Hope, and Solace of Migrants.
