Dear dshix,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I began on Feb. 20 and God willing, am continuing to post each day according to the 33 day Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary as outlined by St. Louis de Montfort.

Usually, I post in the morning. This is a “renewal” for me, as I suspect it is for many others, but the website I post gives some good information for anyone who is making the journey of 33 days for the first time as well.

Although March 25 falls in Holy week and the liturgical celebration is not until after Easter, I chose to keep my Consecration on Mar. 25. It seemed appropriate to re-consecrate myself especially looking toward the Lord’s Passion with Mary.

If you click on my name and go to my profile page and click on “statistics”, then on all threads begun by me, you’ll see the threads for each day from the beginning on Feb. 20.

I hope you are on the journey with us, or will begin to prepare for the Total Consecration. It is a “life-changing” event for many. Blessed John Paul II wrote that making de Montfort’s total consecration was a turning point in his life. His papal motto “Totus Tuus”
(All Yours) is taken from St. Louis’ treatise, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This was a long answer to a short question. 🙂

Hi Maria,

Thanks for your reply. The reason I asked is because I am doing the total consecration as well, but bumped my beginning forward so I would land on the moved date of the Annunciation. I started on the sixth, so I am on day 3.

I have seen your previous threads, but didn’t think to comment until this one. 😛

Thanks for posting these! Hopefully it will encourage more people to start doing this life-changing consecration. 🙂

Dear dshix,

Yes, I hope posting the links to St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion and the prayers and suggested readings for preparing to consecrate oneself totally to Jesus through Mary will encourage many. Not only can it change each one personally but in so doing it can change the world! As St. Therese of Lisieux wrote: “Everything is Grace”. 🙂
