I greatly enjoyed following the novena the year before this volume released and really looked forward to going deeper with a book during a second consecration. My only complaint is almost all of the material is that which was shared the first year via emails and videos from the shrine. I was really hoping to dig deeper and it was basically the same material in a different delivery method. DO not get me wrong it is great material. Jut was not what I was expecting or hoping for.
The description of this volume states:
“Deepen Your Devotion with Cardinal Burke’s Powerful Guide to Spiritual Transformation

Appendix
This is followed by an excerpt from The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I highlighted a few passages while reading this volume they were:
“During that time, when Our Lady of Guadalupe first appeared to Saint Juan Diego, he had the profound sense that, in some way, Heaven had come to earth. Through his conversations with Our Lady and his obedience in carrying out her will, his life was changed forever. It was Our Lady, or, rather, the Child in her womb, who had transformed his ordinary world and made it extraordinary: God was present in his midst. In time, Our Lady claimed the New World for Christ, drawing over nine million new souls into the Church by the time of Saint Juan Diego’s death in 1548.”
“Today, we hope for that same grace of conversion from our sins. Today, we pray for the same transformation of a culture of death to a culture of life and divine love. Today, we seek Our Lady’s maternal love and protection, which she offers to anyone who seeks her Divine Son through her intercession.”
“With this book, you, too, can pray a Nine-Day or Nine-Month Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Inside this book are the Novena Prayer, the Novena Reflections, the Act of Consecration, and the Daily Consecration to Our Lady of Guadalupe.”
“In the battle for the truth, we must never give way to discouragement which is always the first temptation of the devil.”
“We, too, receive Our Lady’s assurance in those same encouraging words: What afflicts you is nothing; do not let it disturb you; do not fear; she is here; she is your mother; she protects you; she is the source of your joy; she is holding you in her arms.”
It was great working through this. I did the 9 days, and read ahead for the 9 months. There is a lot of great material in this volume. It is Well worth reading and praying through. I believe anyone who does so will be changed by the experience. I such I can easily recommend it.
