MARY'S MANTLE CONSECRATION PRAYER JOURNAL is a companion book to be used in tandem with MARY'S MANTLE CONSECRATION: A SPIRITUAL RETREAT FOR HEAVEN'S HELP—a self-guided retreat that has resulted in miracles in the lives and hearts of those who have applied themselves to it.
This prayer journal, an added bonus to the program of consecration, will take you even deeper into your soul and into God's transforming grace. You will be guided along the rungs of the ladder we all must ascend in this life, if we are to become the creatures that God intended when He first fashioned us in His heart.
"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire."—St. Catherine of Siena
Each day of the retreat, sometime after you have read the day’s meditation in the book, MARY’S MANTLE CONSECRATION, you are invited to pick up this journal. It will first ask you to begin with a couple minutes of prayer. This is critical. Please quiet your spirit and take that time to communicate with God. Then the journal will ask you questions and provide insights from Scripture and the wisdom of saints to help you explore and apply the day’s virtue or gift in your life.
The more deeply you dive into the recesses of your soul, the more freely your spirit will rise to the heights. God is waiting. . . The work is up to you.The importance of this inward journey of exploration and renewal on behalf of your life and the world cannot be overestimated.
“The goal of a virtuous life is to be like God.”—St. Gregory of Nyssa
