St. Louis de Montfort’s classic Total Consecration to Mary has seen a strong resurgence in recent years, with Catholics around the world consecrating themselves to Our Lady. Building off this momentum, this book encourages this closeness to Jesus through Mary, but with a preparation that reflects the Church’s love for St. Thomas Aquinas.
St. Thomas Aquinas’s writings provide ample resources for the task. Especially in his preaching, there are numerous passages detailing the graces bestowed on Mary and the role afforded her in leading us to Christ.
We hope this book will assist you in offering all that you have to Jesus through Mary in consecration, with the Angelic Doctor as a teacher and guide. After all, it’s not just religious who are called to holiness. We all are! It is our hope that this method will captivate you, and lead you to closer union with Jesus as you offer yourselves to Him through Mary.
