The book is intended for devotional purposes, specifically to assist the faithful in making novenas in preparation for the principal feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its primary topic revolves around the intercessory role of Mary within the Catholic tradition, emphasizing her virtues and the importance of seeking her help in prayer.
