Book Description
Of all the means employed by the Church for the promotion of piety, particularly among youth, there are few more efficacious than sodalities or confraternities of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Happy are the parishes and educational houses which possess fervent and flourishing confraternities, asylums of perseverance, centres of piety, nurseries of good works and holy vocations. Now, the fervor and prosperity of a confraternity depend in a great nlcasure on the pious instructions given at the meetings. If these instructions and conferences are well chosen, suited to the age, condition, and circumstances of the members; if they tend to inspire them with an enlightened and solid piety, which includes hatred of sin, love of labor, and the constant practice of strong Christian virtues, they cannot fail to produce admirable fruits. The Children of Mary! Oh! glorious Queen of Heaven, blessed and tender Mother, they are thy joy and thy crown. Consecrated to thy honor, making open profession of piety by enrolling themselves under the standard of thy Son, they form a Land of elect in the Church militant. Thou coverest them with thy special protection, powerful Virgin; thou leadest them to combat and to victory if they are but faithful to thee. Oh! that it were given me to inspire them all with increased love for their amiable Mother-not a barren love, but a love the fruit of which would be inviolable fidelity to the engagements they have contracted toward their august sovereign! Then I would have assured them a pledge of salvation and in.. creased, 0 Mary! the joys of thy maternal heart. That this happiness may be mine, deign, O holy Virgin! to bless this little work undertaken for thy glory. If thou hearest nly prayer it will be my sweetest consolation before leaving this world. My course is almost run; and as the end approaches, among many regrets which I experience before God, one of the most sorrowful is, alas! having loved thee too little, O sweetest and most amiable of mothers! But if this work be pleasing to thee, if thou deign to bless it, it it bear fruit among thy dear children, I will find in it compensation for a too barren past and consolation for the hour of death."

Book Description
THE faithful children of the Church, throughout the Catholic world, as well as every true religious, cherish the devotion to the Most Holy Virgin, strive to obtain its true spirit and observe all the practices it enjoins, because they feel that this devotion satisfies the innermost wants of the soul, opens up an unfailing fountain of divine grace, and procures for us the purest - the most inexpressible joys. Among the most efficacious means which our Holy Mother the Church has instituted to promote and foster this devotion in our souls, there is none more beneficial in its effects and influence than the holy practice of regular and daily meditation on the prerogatives, the life, the virtues, the glorious mission of Mary; of contemplating, by the light of faith, the Most Blessed Virgin, the master-piece of the Creator, the model of all virtues, the exalted Mother of the Incarnate Word, the Queen of Heaven, raised in glory far above the cherubim, yet, tenderly hearkening to our supplications, shedding around us the love of her own heart, accepting our humble offerings, and bestowing upon us those celestial treasures which flow through her as the channel of divine mercy. It is impossible to meditate on the attributes of Mary without being filled with the most intense desire to honor her name and invoke her intercession so to live as to merit her protection now, that hereafter we may participate in her glory. Who can behold her in anyone of the aspects in which she presents herself to our piety without experiencing, in his heart, the love of the most exalted virtue? The object of the present work is to render some aid in the proper performance of this holy and salutary exercise. We shall consider in order: 1. The life of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. 2. Her virtues. 3. Her exalted greatness and her patronage. 4. The devotion of which she is the object. The Meditations will be sufficiently numerous: I. For all the Feasts of the Most Blessed Virgin. 2. For every day in the month of Mary. 3. For the Saturdavs on which no particular feast occurs.
