"A Month with Mary" by Don Dolindo Ruotolo is a devotional book. It was written by a priest for his spiritual directee in 1912. So it is over a century old. It reminded me very much of the "Imitation of Christ." "A Month with Mary" has Mary giving instructions about Jesus, every day. It's a meditation a day. It's about a couple of pages long. After each instruction is a prayer and then some kind of suggestion to do good work. Every day you read this.
As I said, Dolindo wrote each meditation as if Mary were talking. It's easy and something to do for Advent or Lent. I did it during the summer to stay focused on Jesus.
I first heard of Don Dolindo from Roy Schoemann's youtube videos. When praying, Schoemann often quotes from Father Dolindo. I googled "Father Dolindo" and saw that he wrote in Italian, but there are a few English works, one of them being A Month with Mary.
