Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Paperback)

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the pinnacle of Creation. She is the "tower of ivory" that is "hard to climb for human thoughts," the "depth undiscernible even for the eyes of angels"; she is the "mystic rose" and "Ark of the New Covenant"; she is our everything, Our Lady. Aside from devotion to the Lord Himself in the Most Holy Sacrament, devotion to Our Lady is the best and surest means of sanctification and salvation that we have. And consecration to the Blessed Mother is the most perfect means of devotion to her. St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary formalized the practice of consecrating one's whole self, with temporal and spiritual goods, to Our Lady. In this short booklet, Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr. Nicholas Norman shows Christians both why and how to do this according to a simple and practical method. Most of all, Fr. Norman shows why this practice is becoming more and more important in our times, and how devotion to Our Lady is an apocalyptic witness during the last stages of Christianity, according to Our Lady herself in her message at Fatima. Let this book guide you, then, on the way of true devotion and total consecration, so that we may say to Our Lady, "I am all yours, O Blessed Mother of God!"

Father Nicholas A. Norman was Director of the Confraternity of Mary, Queen of All Hearts in the mid-nineteen-hundreds. His concise booklet on the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was originally published in 1949 by J. S. Paluch Co., Chicago. In addition, it received the Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat upon publication. Father Norman intended the little work as an explanation of true devotion as rendered toward the Immaculate Queen. The Consecration to the Immaculate Heart was retypeset and republished by TAN in 1988.
