Queen of Heaven, Mother of God: Litanies, Hours, and Acts of Consecration to Mary, (Paperback)

<p> <i>Queen of Heaven, Mother of God</i> is a Catholic Marian prayer book that leads the reader <i>to Jesus</i> <i>through Mary</i> - a sequence of litanies, little hours, and acts of consecration that move through the stations of her life and the seasons of the heart, written to be prayed with love, reverence and gratitude.</p><p>The book follows the arc of Mary's own life through nine stations, from the Annunciation to her Assumption and Crowning - her first <i>yes</i> in an ordinary room, her haste over the hills, the sword foretold, her standing at the Cross, the long silence of the upper room, the fire of Pentecost, and the crown that lands, at last, on a head we have watched bow under everything first. Each station opens with a short reflection, gathers a litany of refreshed titles, and rests in a prayer that meets you exactly where the day has left you.</p><p>From there the book becomes something you can live inside. A set of brief Little Hours threads prayer through morning, midday, evening, and night. Prayers for the Heart's Seasons meet you in sorrow, fear, waiting, gratitude, decision, and joy - alongside cherished acts of consecration from the traditional and Salesian heritage, lightly renewed. And a closing garland, the Litanies of Her Titles, offers pure homage: Hail Holy Queen, Star of the Sea, Mystical Rose, Tower of Ivory, Gate of Heaven - each a small act of adoration in the voice of her most humble servant.</p><p>Here is unapologetic Marian devotion - a Mother gentle to her children precisely because she is terrible to what threatens them, honored as highly as the heart can reach. For anyone who has wanted to her or his love to Our Lady in prayer.</p><p><b>What's inside: </b></p><ul><li>Nine stations following the whole arc of Mary's life, each with a reflection, a litany of titles, and a prayer</li><li>The Little Hours - a brief Marian office for morning, midday, evening, and night</li><li>Prayers for the Heart's Seasons - for sorrow, fear, waiting, gratitude, decision, and joy</li><li>Three acts of consecration, drawn from the traditional and Salesian heritage</li><li>The Litanies of Her Titles - twelve short prayers of pure adoration</li><li>A preface, rubrics, opening invocation, and closing doxology that frame the whole as one prayer</li></ul>
