I think it might be a little late to recommend this now but, starting April 29th, I plan on starting my 33 day Total Consecration to Mary, which concludes on the Feast of the Visitation. Total Consecration to Mary is said to be one of the quickest easiest ways to reach Sainthood, it has been recommended by several Popes including Pope St. John Paul II. As I mentioned above the Consecration involves 33 days of prayer and meditation that conclude on a Marian Feast day, the devotion dates back to medieval times but was perfected and promulgated by St. Louis De Montfort in his True Devotion to Mary.
You can get the book here, don't skip ahead to the consecration you need to read the whole book in order to say the prayers meditatively:
True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration: Catholic Way Publishing, Saint Louis De Montfort, Reverend Frederick William Faber: 9781783790005: Amazon.com: Books
You can also get a shorter but equally meditative version for people who are in a hurry and are not yet experts on meditation, by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley MIC here:
33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration: Michael E. Gaitley: 9781596142442: Amazon.com: Books
Unfortunately, I may have posted this recommendation too late for the Feast of the Visitation, unless one is able to get this material quickly, the next feast is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart, which is in June, I highly recommend this devotion to any Catholic because we need Saints, at the very least look it up and learn about it.
At the beginning of the last week of this month I'll be posting another thread asking for prayers that I perform the 33 day consecration well and be totally consecrated to Our Lord Jesus through His beloved Mother Mary, Our Lady.
Hail Our Lady of the Visitation!
