Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today concludes the 12 preliminary days in our 33 Day Preparation for Total Consecration. By God’s grace we have been praying and seeking to rid ourselves of the spirit of the world in order to make a definitive choice – a beautiful choice – like Mary, to say “Yes” to God and no to all that opposes Him in this world. St Louis de Montfort in wrote:
  1. Finally, God in these times wishes his Blessed Mother to be more known, loved and honoured than she has ever been. This will certainly come about if the elect, by the grace and light of the Holy Spirit, adopt the interior and perfect practice of the devotion which I shall later unfold. Then they will clearly see that beautiful Star of the Sea, as much as faith allows. Under her guidance they will perceive the splendours of this Queen and will consecrate themselves entirely to her service as subjects and slaves of love. They will experience her motherly kindness and affection for her children. They will love her tenderly and will appreciate how full of compassion she is and how much they stand in need of her help. In all circumstances they will have recourse to her as their advocate and mediatrix with Jesus Christ. They will see clearly that she is the safest, easiest, shortest and most perfect way of approaching Jesus and will surrender themselves to her, body and soul, without reserve in order to belong entirely to Jesus.

Let us thank God for bringing us this far and beg Him for the graces we need to continue our journey. Tomorrow, God willing, we begin Week 1 in which we seek a true knowledge of ourselves, to learn from Jesus to be meek and humble of heart, and to see ourselves as He sees us.

Come Holy Spirit, confirm us in ridding ourselves of this world, to follow Jesus.
Mary our Mother, intercede for us, that we may belong entirely to Jesus.
Jesus, we trust in You!
