GOOD NEWS

One of the most important books on the Blessed Alexandrina was prepared by the Signoriles (Eugénie and Chiaffredo), and has the title Figlia del Dolore, Madre di Amore. It was sold out and it will have new edition.
This book, "almost an autobiography", in the first edition had 768 pages and was, after Cristo Gesù in Alexandrina, the largest work ever written on her – to whom was assigned the authorship. The first edition was of the Mimep - Docete (http://www.mimep.it/mimep.asp), which certainly will publish also the second one.
If you open this page in the Official Website http://alexandrinabalasar.free.fr/plan_site.htm, and later open Writing with Flowers, you will have a very nice surprise.
The booklet Alexandrina, Teach me is already on line: http://alexandrinabalasar.free.fr/alexandrina_teach_me_index.htm
There is the ideia of translating into Litvan a book on the Bd Alexandrina.

PROTAGONISTS OF THE LOVE

Eugénie Signorile changed the title originally given to the book she will publish soon: the definitive heading is Protagonists of the Love. Since people will have natural curiosity to know something about it and we don’t have still the definite version, we put here the headings of the parts and chapters as they were in a version of some months ago:

Part I – As Jesus loves
1 - 20 centuries ago
2 - Today the resuscitated Jesus go on loving and suffering

Part II – As Alexandrina loves
1 - Love to the humanity
2 - Love to Jesus

Part III – Mutual love between Jesus and Alexandrina
1 - Each one gives and receives
2 - Mystical identification between Alexandrina and Jesus

Part IV – As Mary loves
1 - Help
2 - Mediator and co-redeemer
3 - The love of the Mother of the Sorrows
