Commiting to Mary

[billcu1]

How can someone commit themselves to Mary? Just saying the rosary everyday? Is there a special prayer like the immaculate heart or something? I don’t always have time to pray the rosary.

Are you referring to consecration to Mary or something else?

I like the Kolbean approach (versus de Montfort.) It just seems more concrete to me.

About Consecration and After Consecration might answer the “how?”.

Consecrate yes that’s the word I’m looking for.

What is Consecration? answers your question better than the first link I offered but it’s from the same website.

Check out 33 Days to Morning Glory by Michael Gaitley. It’s a “do it yourself retreat” to prepare for consecration. It explains it well and gives a daily guide for prayer and reflection. This is my 2nd time trying to make the 33 days and this resource has been very valuable. I use the online “total consecration” website with all the Montfort prayers too–but they are hard to understand if you’re a beginner.
Good Luck!

Catholics should ALWAYS find time to pray the rosary daily.
It’s a habit thing. Make it a habit every day. Find the time.
When are you going to find the time? After you are dead!!!

If you have time to eat, take a bath, sleep, go see movies, football, basketball-- any games, dining out, watching TV, visiting the library, taking a vacation, grocery shopping, even
taking an afternoon nap----YOU SHOULD FIND 15 MINUTES OF TIME TO AT LEAST
PRAY THE DAILY ROSARY.

Of all those things I find time to sleep and eat. And it takes me more than 15 Min to do the rosary.

Here is an online resource based on St. Louis Marie deMontfort’s True Devotion to Mary and The Secret of Mary.

It explains the importance of the Devotion, it’s merits and difficulties, and what it is.

Another way of committing to Mary is to meditate on the fact that she is Christ`s first and most perfect disciple. You can let her lead you in that way.
