Total Consecration to Mary is a beautiful exercise to increase your spirituality and ability to truly serve our Lord Jesus Christ. The basic premise set forth by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort is simply that Jesus came into the world through Mary, and in order to grow closer to Jesus, closer than ever before, we should go through Mary. Certainly, at this time of great challenge for our Church, we all need to grow closer to Our Lord and Savior.
WHY DO THIS?
Initially, this idea may seem strange to some. Why consecration? And why consecration through Mary? What does that even mean? Consecration means to set aside for a sacred purpose. Mary’s life was set aside for the sole purpose of serving Our Lord. By following her example, we can also completely give ourselves to Christ in a fundamental way that consecrates us to Him. We give our lives to Him in service and love.
We consecrate ourselves in order to be more devoted to the Lord and His Blessed Mother. It helps us grow in holiness and increase our faith, hope and love. It is a prayerful and focused method of drawing closer to Jesus than ever before.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our Blessed Mother’s greatest desire is to lead us to Jesus and teach us how to love her Son more deeply. Through the resources we provide, you can prepare for consecration from the comfort of your own home. You are also invited to attend two check-in reflections to answer your questions, share insights, and keep the momentum going.
