I've started week 3, which is about my confirmation saint's devotion to Mary: Mother Teresa :). My joy is through the roooofffff!

so many thoughts but so little space. This book is so powerful, and the devil knows it because it hid it from the public for over 100 years after St. Montfort died. St. Montfort knew it too, foreseeing that some of the greatest saints in history would be formed after reading this book and doing the Marian consecration.

I’ve decided to read the physical book. While reading, I’ve been praying to God and asking him to allow me to only understand things about himself that he wishes me to understand. It’s just so bizarre how he continues to answer this prayer of mine and guide me towards people and materials that teach me about himself & about myself. It’s all just such a blessing. When you ask, he gives you so many gems. 💎

Half way through! 🥳 This was a great book to read while getting my hair braided today. Maybe I can finish the rest tomorrow.

148 pages left...almost there :)

Things I’m currently learning about: final causality, the essence & existence of God, and whether the essence of angels is universal or individual.

I like how the books builds up on previous topics. It helps renforce things I may not have fully understood when they were first mentioned.

Half way there 🥳

I started listening to the audiobook of this during my walk today. There is so much that I never considered/have taken the time to think about. The overall link between metaphysics and theology that Aquinas makes is verrryyyy interesting.

I really want to finish this book before school ends. I need to focus 😤 and stop reading at Newman lol

Oh la la there is so much I don’t know!

This will likely take me a minute to get through.

This is going to take me a minute to get through only because each page is so rich & enlightening. I can’t stop highlighting! I’m excited for the journey though :)
