The Greatest Rosary Confraternity Story Ever Told 

Double CD Audiobook

"Cap-de-la-Madeleine was a parish of lukewarm Catholics. Fr. Desilets was going to use the rosary as a weapon to restore the vitality of their faith."

Recorded from October 7th, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, to October 13th, the 100th Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun - the story of Our Lady of the Cape reveals the gravity of our Heavenly Mother's love for souls and the means she uses to bring her children back to faith in her Son.

About the Author

James Gerard Shaw first visited Our Lady of the Cape as Feature Editor for the British United Press on August 15th, 1948 - the day Isabelle Naud went home from the Blessing of the Sick and rose from the wheel-chair she had been tied to for ten years. In 1950 he succeeded Fr. John Mole, OMI, as editor of Our Lady of the Cape magazine, a position he left in 1953 to devote himself to writing books. 

Shaw's unique insight, writing at the height of Marian piety in Canada, and with access to the exhaustive archives at the Cape, reveals many crucial details long forgotten about the extraordinary story of Canada's spiritual heritage ... a careful listen is almost certainly bound to lead the listener to a "Cape Conversion; the aha moment one experiences upon discovering​ the length, depth and breadth of​ Heaven's Divine design through the founding of Cap-de-la-Madeleine and the story of Our Lady of the Cape."

"The images help you imagine what Marian Consecration looks like. The daily prayer helps you pray what it is!"

Handing out the Marian Consecration Daily Prayer card is a simple way to make Mary known and loved. The daily prayer, based on St. Louis de Montfort's Trinitarian approach to Marian Consecration, was composed to recognize the following:

We desire to place "all" in Mary's hands for the greater Glory of God.

We acknowledge and are thankful for the redemption that comes to us through her Son, Jesus Christ.

We acknowledge that God the Holy Spirit disperses grace through Mary.

We ask for Mary's intercession to help us fulfill the vows of our baptism.

We ask for Mary's intercession to help us fulfill God's plan for our lives.

SAINT CATHERINE LABOURE OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL by Fr. Joseph Dirvin.

Zoe was alone in the bedroom; she had looked carefully about to make sure of that. She had a duty to perform, and like all the solemn and decisive acts of life, it had to be done alone. Of course even Zoe did not realize that what she was about to do far transcended her personal life. It was vital to countless millions yet unborn; and so she might have spared herself her pains, for all the world was to see her. The Blessed Virgin arranged for the servant to happen quietly on the scene and to observe it all.

Zoe pulled a chair over beneath the shelf, for it was too high for her to reach, even if she stood on tiptoe. Climbing up on the chair, she stretched overhead and took down Our Lady's image. She was too much engrossed in the ecstasy of her devotion to notice anything now. She did not even get down from the chair; it would serve well enough for the altar of her choosing and dedication. Throwing her arms about the statue, she hugged it close to her little body, as a child might fondle her favorite doll or teddy bear.

But this was no doll. In a sense, it was no longer just a statue of Our Lady. It was Mary herself. Zoe's words showed that very clearly.

"Now, dear Blessed Mother," she said aloud with childlike fervor, "now you will be my Mother!"

Probably the incident of the statue was almost entirely for the benefit of mankind, a way of serving public notice that the Marian Age had begun. 

40 x 30 inch Canvas depicting the Twenty Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary.

This specially designed "Holy Rosary Canvas" encourages the tradition of meditating on images of the mysteries while reciting the rosary. The first "Rosary Picture Book" was produced in 1489 as part of a manual for Confraternities of the Most Holy Rosary. They became increasingly popular as a meaningful method of reflecting on the life of Christ while in prayer.
