Dear Brothers and Sisters,

By God’s Grace, we are on our way through these first 12 days of seeking to rid ourselves of the “spirit of the world”. On this 7th day of our journey, let us listen again to the beginning of St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary:
  1. When the Holy Spirit, her spouse, finds Mary in a soul, he hastens there and enters fully into it. He gives himself generously to that soul according to the place it has given to his spouse. One of the main reasons why the Holy Spirit does not work striking wonders in souls is that he fails to find in them a sufficiently close union with his faithful and inseparable spouse. I say “inseparable spouse”, for from the moment the substantial love of the Father and the Son espoused Mary to form Jesus, the head of the elect, and Jesus in the elect, he has never disowned her, for she has always been faithful and fruitful.

When we began this journey, I mentioned that the most important thing is the desire of our hearts. Why do we want to consecrate ourselves or renew our total consecration to Jesus through Mary? Our motive is Love, prompted by the Holy Spirit. Our desire to rid ourselves of the spirit of the world is so that we may leave room for the Holy Spirit to work wonders in us as He worked in Mary. Come, Holy Spirit! Cast from us the spirit of the world and see us in the arms of Mary, desiring to give ourselves ever more completely. Prayers are HERE
 
Hi Maria,
I am on this journey too. Will keep you in my prayers. I think this is especially good for Lent.

In Christ thru Mary,
MC

Dear MC,

Thanks so much for letting us know you are on the journey with us, and thanks so much also for your prayers. Yes, I agree our 33 Day Journey is especially good for Lent. It can be a true “Lenten Pilgrimage”. Jesus journeyed toward the Cross and the total gift of Himself, so we too are called to follow Him, as Mary did, and give ourselves totally to Him, through and with Mary.
