Dear All,
In case you missed the recent discussion of the starting date for the 33 Day Preparation for Consecration or Re-consecration to Jesus through Mary, using St. Louis De Montfort’s method, we will begin a day later. The change from Feb. 20 to 21 is due to the additional day in February. We thought at first, it might be good to use either date, but it seems far better to begin together, on the same date.
I am looking forward to this “journey of 33 days” again! The start date of Shrove Tuesday puts us clearly within the context of the Lenten journey with the entire Church, and so while we are praying especially for those of us who will be going to Jesus through Mary, specifically, we need to be mindful also of all our brothers and sisters who are seeking Him.
Many do not even know Him Whom they seek, but are yearning inwardly for the Love Who created them and Who is calling to them to receive His Love and share Him with others. Our Lady was the first to gaze upon the Face of Christ, and she can help us all to “see” Him in faith, to follow in hope, and to share Him in true charity.
St. Louis de Montfort’s little treatise, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is an outgrowth of his Love of Eternal Wisdom. If you have never read either of these two books, I hope you will consider reading them. I’ve linked the titles to the online versions.
May the Holy Spirit kindle in the hearts of all His Faithful the Fire of His Love. May He overshadow each of us in a new way in order that we may bring Christ to our world as Mary did.
