Consecration to Mary

[seanom]

Hello there,
I am interested in consecrating myself to Mary in the manner of st louis de montfort and I am finding it difficult. I just want to love Our Lord more and I feel distant from Christ and my love cooled from doing things, through Mary and for Mary. Can anyone who has made the consecration to Mary give me some advice plz,
Thankyou and God Bles

Hello. I did the Consecration on the Feast of the Annunciation this year.
It’s truly a great grace and you feel different in doing it. I advise you to read and study True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin and The Secret of Mary, both by St Louis de Montfort .
Also start praying the Rosary and Little Crown of Mary daily. Perhaps, if you can also start saying the entire Consecration prayer daily too.
Get yourself the Preparation for Consecration manual by Montfort Publications - it’s like $5 or something. Or if you have an iPhone download the Consecration to Mary application free.
Look up the next Marian Feast- and work it out so that 33 days before the Feast you start.
Then start it!! And have faith that Mary is with you along the way guiding you.
Once you’ve done the Consecration on the 34 th day enroll in the Association of Mary Queen of all Hearts- I started a group for it here -
forums.catholic-questions.org/group.php?groupid=1336
To live it takes time and prayer. Try and get to Mass daily if you can. Pray the Rosary daily. Read St Louis writings when you can and any other Marian writings such as The
Glories of Mary, there’s many out there.
There’s also a good group on here called To Jesus through Mary. The creator De_Montfort has also done the Consecration.
Please message me if you need to know more I’m happy to help you.
God bless you always through Mary our Holy Mother +++

I just want to love Our Lord more and I feel distant from Christ and my love cooled from doing things, through Mary and for Mary.

Pope Pius XII termed this masterpiece, the “Imitation of Christ” as the “golden book”.

There are two quotes that I would like to share with you.

“Believe in me, and put thy trust in my mercy. When thou thinkest thyself far removed from me, I am often the nearer.” (Book 3, Chapter 30)

“When thou art ill at ease and troubled, then is the time when thou are nearest unto blessing.” (Book 1, Chapter 22)

Finally, from the Catechism, “Man is a beggar before God.” (CCC 2559) God teaches saints to beg more and to depend more on him by giving them spiritual sufferings.
