Did you know that Marian Consecration is biblical? With roots stretching all the way back to Genesis? Just as Jesus is the only Way to the Father (Jn 14:6), the sole mediator between God and man (1 Tm 2:5), so Mary is the Church's primary mediator and intercessor before her Son.
In this timely book, Shane Kapler uncovers the biblical basis for Marian Consecration. He demonstrates how entrusting oneself to Our Lady—and living this devotion through practices such as praying the Rosary, wearing the Brown Scapular, and keeping the Five First Saturdays—is firmly rooted and foreshadowed in the Old and New Testaments. In Mary, we see the heights to which each of us is called: to be without blemish (Eph 5:27), glorified in body and soul (1 Cor 15:51–53), and to share Christ’s heavenly reign (Rv 3:21). Discover how, like Saint Joseph and Saint John the Apostle, we are invited to share Mary’s interior life--to fully surrender ourselves to the action of the Holy Spirit and begin loving Jesus with her Immaculate Heart. “Blessed are the pure [or ‘immaculate’] in heart, for they shall see God” (Mt 5:8).

“A well-known apologist said something that sticks with me even today: ‘There is nothing in the Church that contradicts Scripture and nothing in Scripture that contradicts the Church.’ This came to mind as I was reading Shane’s beautiful book as this saying is certainly true concerning our love and devotion to the Blessed Mother. The Biblical Roots of Marian Consecration will help strengthen faithful Catholics’ knowledge and appreciation of Mary and enlighten those who might be struggling with the Church’s Marian teachings. After reading this book, one will even more readily ask for Mary’s intercession, who always encourages us to ‘do whatever He tells you’ (Jn 2:5).”
