Find a reading path.
A reading path should end in a practice, a promise, and a changed way of life. Prepare for a good confession and let your reading lead you back to the sacraments.
01If you are not yet convinced
Begin with the saints’ case for confidence rather than a detached survey. Start with Chapter I of The Glories of Mary, on confidence in the Queen of Mercy. Read alongside the Gospels of Luke and John, and ask one honest question: what would change if Jesus truly gave His Mother to me?
The Glories of Mary → Why Mary? → One daily decade
