"MARY’S MANTLE CONSECRATION deepens one’s personal life of virtue, unites people in prayer, and sanctifies daily life, thus making us more like her Son and so bringing joy to her motherly heart. I am grateful to Christine Watkins for making this disarmingly simple practice, which first grew in the fertile soil of Mexican piety, available to the English-speaking world.”

“Mary’s Mantle Consecration is a special means of responding to the call to holiness, which must be the heart and life of every disciple of Christ. It leads us along a journey of prayer with reflections on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Virtues necessary for strengthening our spiritual life, and concludes with a Consecration to Mary, the Model of Holiness.

"As soon as my parish finished Mary’s Mantle Consecration, people were asking me when they could go through it again. I highly recommend every pastor of a parish, big or small, or even lay leaders of every apostolate in a parish, offer Mary’s Mantle Consecration to their entrusted flock."

"I find the book, Mary’s Mantle Consecration, to be a great tool for the spiritual life. I highly recommend it to parishes, seminaries, and convents. I believe all of God’s seekers will find great help and guidance, enlightening their path toward Him."

"One hundred and seventy-five people signed up to do the consecration retreat at our parish, and our school participated, as well. Mary’s Mantle Consecration has inspired and gifted my parishioners tremendously with a true desire to live holy lives, and I am grateful."
