Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I have a Catholic friend who struggles with devotion to Our Lady, and I would like to buy her a book which is both engaging to read, and informative about the reasons why we venerate Our Lady. Can you suggest something?
Thanks,
Tricia.

How about Hail, Holy Queen by Scott Hahn?

I really like Catholic for a Reason II: Scripture and the Mystery of the Mother of God. It is also by Scott Hahn (editor) so might be really similar - though this one has chapters by different Catholic authors/speakers.

One of my favorite Marian books is The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander.
