    About this audiobook

    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, we wanted to encourage this closeness to Jesus through Mary, but with a preparation that reflected the Church’s love for St. Thomas Aquinas.

    In Aquinas’s writings, we found ample resources for the task. Especially in his preaching, we discovered passages detailing the graces bestowed on Mary and the role afforded her in leading us to Christ. Special inspiration came from a passage where Aquinas describes what motivates religious to consecrate themselves. He writes that it is their great desire to “offer to God all that one has.” Wow! That struck a chord.

    We wrote this book to assist others in offering all that they have 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 like it has us, and lead you to closer union with Jesus as you offer yourselves to Him through Mary.

    • 5/5
      I love hearing the clarity of St Thomas, regarding his high opinion of Mary. Very informative. Very helpful to my own understanding.
    • 3/5
      Good presentation of Aquinas' insights on Mary. This helped me find new sources to try to answer my questions about Mary, but I still don't have the answer to the question that has bugged me for years: WHY is Marian devotion needed? I understand why people do it, but why invest time in this instead of deepening devotion to the Lord?

      The book seems written for college age readers, which makes it understandable but the writing style is a little too hipster. At points, it sounds like something a middle schooler would write, which is surprising given the authors. There are audio glitches from sloppy editing.
