Can someone explain to me what this means and if it made a difference in their life?

Thanks and God Bless!

On a personal level, I “renew” my consecration once weekly, and then I pray the Miraculous Medal. I try to pray the rosary daily.

Opening up your heart, and giving time to our mother is a wonderful thing to do. She is there to pray for us, and to protect us. Surely she appreciates your prayers and intentions to her.

For me, it has made all the difference. I truly feel wonderful after I have given some time during the day to her.
 
There are several ways of doing Marian consecration.

I started out with the simple, short prayer of consecration to Our Lady every morning, giving to Jesus, through her as the perfect disciple, my whole day, (thoughts, words, actions).

After some time passed and I learned about St. Louis de Montfort’s 33 day consecration I did that. The lady that shared about it is one of the holiest people I ever met. As the years passed and I learned that others repeated that consecration yearly, I started to do so also.

I have felt very blessed to get to know the Mother of our Lord better…in her joys, sorrows, and privileges. I am aware that she has brought me closer to her Son. I simply cannot understand those who resist devotion to our Lady. She is the key to the heart of Jesus our Lord, given to us at the foot of the cross through the apostle St. John.
 
What it means is that a person dedicates all that they do and are to Jesus but thru hands and heart of Mary. That way our life takes on the softness and love of Mary for Jesus in every phase and moment. Who better could love him than Mary. And the intention to love him as she does augments the quality and sanctity of our life. A person joins themselves with Mary.

In practical terms, the person gives all their reward they would receive to Mary to dispose of as she sees good, for whomever and whatever she desires to direct it. The person asks nothing in return but to do more for her so she may bring her son closer to mankind. In return, the person relies on Mary completely for all its needs and places themselves completely in her care.

It is a total oneness with Jesus thru his mother.

This consecration is elective and freely chosen, similar to those who freely make vows.
It is considered by many a higher way to Jesus because of the total denial of one’s rights to reward, the strong love of others thru Mary, and the complete trust in Mary for guidance, aid, and hope.

Here is the site which explains it.

May God bless and keep you. May God’s face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace.
 
Thanks for these explanations. I appreciate it a lot. May God bless you!🙂
