The book is a collection of radio talks about Our Lady, aiming to foster devotion under various titles that are more personal than traditional: Our Lady of Hope, of Motherhood, of the Annunciation, of Christmas, of the World, of the Rosary, of Love, of Silence, of Kindness, without Sin, of the Sun, of Russia.

The style is very simple and direct, aimed at ordinary people, requiring no prior knowledge. It respectfully addresses evangelical criticisms of Marian devotion, seeking to explain it through accessible examples and common sense.

Despite its age, the themes and language remain current.
