By Walker Larson, Crisis Magazine - I’d like to offer an additional suggestion—perhaps the closest thing to a silver bullet that we have: total, radical dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary and an energetic program to spread that devotion—in our homes, parishes, dioceses, and society at large. I fear that our current apathy and acedia might derive from a lack of true devotion to Mary... I don’t believe we can overcome the lukewarmness in the American Church and re-evangelize our culture without her. In the Church, great changes are needed administratively, catechetically, and liturgically. But those large-scale changes begin with the conversion of individual hearts. And that begins with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
