Marian Consecration for Children: Bringing Mary to Life in Young Hearts and Minds

French priest St. Louis de Montfort is well known for passionately advancing Marian devotion at the turn of the eighteenth century. Preaching with much love and affection for the Mother of God, de Monfort emphasises the importance of giving ourselves entirely to our Lord through the hands of His mother.

With reference to the lives of the saints, the Gospels, and both contemporary and classic texts including The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Winnie the Pooh, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gress explores the importance of virtue and the concept of Marian consecration in relation to living authentically with the Lord. Each day of the of the journey includes a short meditation, accompanying discussion questions, prayers, and fun thought-provoking facts. This book truly is a gem and makes a most beautiful gift.
