An entire year of profound and powerful thoughts about Our Lady is in your hands. If you read and reflect on them carefully, I guarantee that you will have a whole new relationship with her, and with her Son, when the year is done. Prayerfully reading these meditations has certainly transformed me. As you begin reading, make your own this prayer of St John Eudes: You angels of Jesus and His saints, pray for me, that our loving Savior may give me new grace and new love for Him, to devote this year and my whole life, purely and solely, to the service of His glory and love. Amen
