I · The promise

Be the Church in your home.

The Church is a bride and a mother, and Mary is her perfect image. The family is the Church in miniature, fed at the altar of your parish. In your house you carry that image: at the table, by the cradle, at the prayer corner, in the hours no one sees. Thirty days to begin. Free, private, and yours.

II · The Church in the home

She went into the hill country with haste.

“And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.”

Luke 1:39 · Douay-Rheims

A household rule of prayer that fits a real day: tonight's family prayer, grace at the table, the Angelus at noon, a blessing at bedtime, each child's patron and sacraments, kept in one place.

VI · The Rosary

Pray it with her.

Today's mysteries, chosen for you; the Scripture of each and the old masters' paintings; Latin if you wish; an intention for every decade (your husband, each child, your own dead) and the place you left off.

VII · The examination

Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much.

“Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much.”

Luke 7:47 · Douay-Rheims

An examination of conscience written for a woman's life (wife, mother, single, widowed or consecrated). What you tap is never saved. Then the steps of confession, the Act of Contrition, and, if you wish, the date you went, kept on your device.

VIII · Mater Dolorosa

There stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother.

“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.”

John 19:25 · Douay-Rheims

For the woman who has lost a baby, a child or a husband, or is watching a child walk away from the faith: what the Church teaches, the prayers of Our Lady of Sorrows, and people to call tonight. Always free.

IX · The library

Learn it at her knee.

A prayer book of the Church's traditional prayers, each with its source, and a library on the questions women ask: praying for your children and your husband, pregnancy and loss, Ephesians 5, the domestic church. Claims of faith are checked against the Church's documents, and the sources are listed.

X · The rule

Persevering with one mind in prayer.

“All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.”

Acts 1:14 · Douay-Rheims

A rule of life you can keep: a few anchors, a small floor for the hard days and an aim for the good ones, a daily check, and a review every ninety days.

XI · The consecration

To Jesus through Mary.

St Louis de Montfort's thirty-three days (twelve days, then three weeks), planned backward from the Marian feast you choose, with the prayers he set for each week.

XII · Crowned

Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
