True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration by St. Louis de Montfort

Just a heads up, my Catholic brain is getting on a chair of excitement.
I loved doing this devotion. I've done the 33 days to morning glory consecration, but I loved getting back to the roots of the Marian consecration. It took a bit of planning for me to be able to not be overwhelmed by the reading every day. I loved the repetition of the prayers, and all the mic drops about how Mary is the best Mom ever and is the best advocate for us, and how Mary always wants to bring people closer to Jesus. .... I love getting to know Mom more. I could literally go on for hours about how amazing Mary is, and how the consecration has changed my life in the past...five?...years
...I may or may not have underlined a lot of the book.
I love my Mom.

Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love by Carl Anderson

"Our Lady of Guadalupe’s only words of spiritual guidance are her gentle but persistent reminders to Juan Diego about love: a love that can be trusted, a love that gives dignity, a love that is personal. If we are to see in her words an answer to a spiritual problem, the spiritual problem it answers is a lack of love and a lack of understanding about love as relationship rather than as practice. The Guadalupan message is, in its originality, a spiritual education, an education in love."
I love Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I loved learning more about the history...the apparitions, the tilma... Just the analysis of the image and all the meanings. Literally just read any of the scientific and artistic studies of the tilma.
So many Ratzinger and Karol Józef Wojtyła quotes.
I'm fine... I love my Mom.
