Sisters of the Cross of the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

Mother Superior, Sr. Lourdes Guerra, RCSCJ: "I find the book, Mary’s Mantle Consecration, to be a great tool for the spiritual life. The virtues are presented in a simple and yet profound way. The readings and meditations have helped me to enter into loving contact with Jesus and Mary. They have enlightened aspects of my life that need conversion and motivated me in my path toward union with God. 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."

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone

“One of the great consolations of being Catholic is knowing that the Mother of our Lord is our Mother, too. 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. I recommend it for individuals, spouses, families, and parishes as a valuable answer to the call to the New Evangelization. Our Lady of Guadalupe, the ‘Star of the New Evangelization,’ will assist all who seek the road to heaven.”

"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."

"I’d like to thank Christine Watkins from the bottom of my heart for the Mary’s Mantle Consecration book. It is very well done, inspiring, and the consecration retreat, helping people to get closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and ultimately to Jesus, Our Savior and God. It was a great blessing for our church."

"My family and I have participated in Mary's Mantle Consecration three times with Michelle in Tasmania, Australia (www.throughourlady.org/retreat) and received so many blessings from that. Now we have returned to our hometown in Danang, Vietnam permanently, and we are spreading Mary's Mantle here."

"I organized a group for Mary’s Mantle Consecration, and we found that our parishes, our homes, our workplaces were being miraculously “lit up” by our daily prayers and readings. This consecration is spreading far and wide because one wants to “go on the journey” again. The consecration book and the prayer journal never get placed on the shelf. One keeps them in easy reach!"

"I had the honor of doing Mary’s Mantle through Zoom with over 120 participants, and it was a joy for everyone! This is the most beautiful consecration I have ever been a part of. Many conversions to Catholicism have happened, people have been inspired, and hearts have been healed. I’m going to do lead it again and again. . . “

"Mary's Mantle was a great success. Not only were there lots of positive reports from those who participated, but friends were made, as well. Our Lady taught me to look deep within myself. I was lifted knowing that we were all each praying for one another’s intentions in the wider community. Mary’s Mantle has given me a deeper love for Our Lady and made me want to give it my Totus Tuus every day. It literally showed me the way home again."
