Is it
"under 10" or “
10 and under”??
Please forgive my confusion.
If it is “10 and under”…here is one that I love…and the man who bore it…with heroic virtue"
Hope this is helpful.

Totus Tuus
**[Updated: 03.04.2001] **
**“
Totus Tuus. This phrase is not only an expression of piety, or simply an expression of devotion. It is more. During the Second World War, while I was employed as a factory worker, I came to be attracted to Marian devotion. At first, it had seemed to me that I should distance myself a bit from the Marian devotion of my childhood, in order to focus more on Christ. Thanks to Saint Louis of Montfort, I came to understand that true devotion to the Mother of God is actually Christocentric, indeed, it is very profoundly rooted in the Mystery of the Blessed Trinity, and the mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption”. **

Totus Tuus was
Pope John Paul II’s
apostolic motto. It is a Latin phrase meaning
“totally yours” and expressed his personal
Consecration to Mary based on the spiritual approach of
Saint Louis de Montfort and the
Mariology in his works.
[1] The
pontiff explained the meaning further in his book
Crossing the Threshold of Hope where he defines it as not only an expression of
piety, or simply an expression of devotion and that it is deeply rooted in the Mystery of the
Blessed Trinity.

John Paul II, with the
Marian Cross
According to his
Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae he borrowed the motto from the
Marian consecrating prayer found in the book
True Devotion to Mary by Saint Louis de Montfort. The complete text of the prayer in Latin is: “Totus tuus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt” (“I am all yours, and all that I have is yours”).
Pope John Paul II once recalled how as a young
seminarian he “read and reread many times and with great spiritual profit” some writings of Saint Louis de Montfort and that:
“Then I understood that I could not exclude the Lord’s Mother from my life without neglecting the will of God-Trinity”[3]In 1987,
Henryk Górecki composed a choral piece
(Totus Tuus Op. 60) to celebrate
Pope John Paul II’s third pilgrimage to his native Poland that summer.
