Marian consecration - question

[struggling4him]

I have devoted myself to Our Lady using the Kolbe formula, but am slighly confused as to what it means to offer her all my merits and intentions. Am I still able to pray for others? Am I still able to offer up rosaries or sacrifices for others? Do I offer them to Our Lady and ask that she intercede for my individual intentions, trusting that she will apportion what I have offered to her? How does that work?

Hi,

I finished my 33 day consecration as well on the Feast of the Assumption and had the same question. I m a little confused too but from my understanding we offer up our rosary and prayers , suffering And good works to Christ through her to distribute , for lack of a better term ,to wherever she see fit. I m thinking , as she said in Fatima , for conversion and souls who have no one to pray for them. According to one of the four writers , I can t remember which , she could never be outdone , thus the blessings and answers to our own prayers , which the Lord already knows will come back 10 fold. Hope this helps?

If you’ve prayed a daily offering you know that it includes all prayers, indulgences, and good works. With a Marian consecration you are offering these through Mary. Whether its a daily offering or Marian devotion one can still offer prayers or sacrifices for specific intentions. I guess when I offer my prayers to Mary I include anything I’m praying for specifically at the same time. When all is said and done my final words are, “Thy will be done.” I figure God will sort it out.
