Meditations to Unlock the Litany of Loreto

Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the examples of the saints, and culture, Cardinal Alexis Lepicier, O.S.M., guides you in contemplating each invocation of one of the most treasured Marian prayers ever composed. This stirring devotional aims to help you absorb the profound beauty of this litany while coming to understand and love the Blessed Virgin more deeply.

These resplendent reflections, ideal for personal meditation or group sharing, will immerse you in the riches of Mariology and reveal to you:

• Three profound aspects of Mary’s mission that relate to her name
• Mysteries of the Blessed Virgin’s life: her excellences, privileges, and sorrows
• Three ways that Our Lady takes part in our redemption
• The power of Mary’s intercession for miracles and healings of body, mind, and spirit
• How Mary defends us and comes to our aid in the battle against the enemy
• How praying the Holy Rosary brought victories for countries and the conversion of obdurate sinners
