30 Marian Eucharistic Visits
$18.95Add to cartAmid a wide range of spiritualities and charisms, the saints shared two consistent devotions: love for the Holy Eucharist and love for Our Lady. Here is the book that will immerse you deeply in both and inflame your heart with love for Jesus’ Eucharistic Heart through the heart of His Mother. The relational reflections contained in this volume will restore or increase your faith in the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. They will help you enter into meditation with Jesus and Mary as never before and will open your heart to receive the graces available from the Sacred Mysteries.
Each Marian Eucharistic Visit presented in these pages, similar in format to Lectio Divina, guides you through four parts: ponder (a short prayer or quote from a saint or spiritual writer), reflect (a meditation on the grace you are seeking from your visit), pray (a guided reflection with traditional Marian Eucharistic prayers), and savor.

Contemplating The Seven Sorrows Of Mary
$17.95Add to cartThe Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows is a special devotion that adds to our understanding and love for our Blessed Mother. In praying this chaplet, we bring consolation to the heart of Our Lady and at once open our hearts to share in the salvific mission of bringing souls closer to the heart of Christ. Intercessory prayer is that powerful. God does not need our prayers to act. Still, He chooses to use our prayers to act. We don’t change God’s mind when we pray, but bring to fruition what is in the mind and heart of God. And we can be assured, holiness is in the mind and heart of God for every soul! Over the past two centuries, in Private Revelation, Mary has repeatedly expressed her sorrow at the sin in the world and how our sin wounds her heart and that of her Son, our Lord. We need to start taking stock of our sins and be ever-present about how we can save souls for Jesus Christ. The Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary is a tool in God’s battle plan to do just that!
The Seven Sorrows Chaplet is not a replacement for praying the rosary, but rather a specific devotion directed to better understanding Mary’s sorrowful journey and, in turn, the call to ponder what each suffering teaches us about our relationship with God. The more time we spend with Mary, the more insight we receive about our griefs and sorrows. Praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary Chaplet is to enter the classroom of Mary and learn how to make sense of what is often interpreted as senseless.

Devotion To The Sacred Heart
$5.95Add to cartDevotion to the Sacred Heart is a powerful little booklet filled with many of the treasures to be found in the veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In our age of religious indifference, when fervor and charity have grown cold, Jesus exhibits to the world His Sacred Heart as the symbol of God s infinite love showing His Divine Heart as a furnace whose burning rays of love are able to reanimate faith and rekindle love in hearts grown cold and ungrateful

Fruit Of Her Womb
$18.95Add to cartSt. Louis de Montfort inspired a spiritual revolution in teaching us about Marian consecration and giving us a thirty-three-day plan to prepare our souls for that big step in our relationship with Jesus. In these pages, Fr. Boniface Hicks guides you through this “retreat” to help you gain a deeper trust in and childlike dependence on our loving God.
“What this consecration teaches us is that we have a sweet, loving, perfect Mother who actually wants to live in this intense relationship with us,” Fr. Boniface reflects. “And so, if we accept Mary’s invitation to this relationship, we will find all the healing and happiness we have always longed for.”
You’ll spend the first twelve days emptying yourself of the spirit of the world, followed by a week focused on self-knowledge. You’ll then spend a week dedicated to knowledge of Mary before concluding the final week, centered on knowledge of Jesus.
Only ten minutes per day will produce spiritual renewal and wholehearted trust in Jesus through Mary. These short, personal chapters will show you how to:
*Allow the Blessed Mother to cherish you as a baby in her womb and rejoice in your dignity as a child of God
*Grow in patience, humility, and love (Our Lady makes it simple!)
*Deepen your faith and live out your baptismal call to holiness
*Close “escape routes” in your relationship with God and live in the freedom of total surrender
*Take refuge and receive consolation in Mary’s protective care
*Realize that sufferings and difficulty point to the hope and final victory that await you
Fr. Boniface provides practical tips on opening your heart to God’s grace and profoundly beautiful reflections that will lead your soul to intimate union with our Lord through our Lady. Each daily meditation includes a Scripture passage, related quotes from popes and saints, questions to guide you on your journey, and traditional prayers to prepare for Marian consecration.
This book affirms what St. Louis teaches us: that Mary’s womb is the best place to be formed perfectly into saints and into Christ Himself. By contemplating Jesus through Mary, the first tabernacle of the Lord, your love of the Holy Eucharist will become more fervent, and your heart will be inflamed as you pray the Rosary and reflect on the mysteries of her Son.
