To All who are preparing for, or interested in, total consecration to Jesus through Mary:
Today is the final day of the preliminary 12 Days, seeking to empty ourselves of the spirit of the world which is opposed to the spirit of Jesus. As was said before, we know this is a life-long task but in the context of the 33 Day Preparation for consecrating ourselves to Jesus through Mary, these 12 days can help us to understand more about our ongoing conversion.
Today’s suggested reading is from chapter 25 of the Imitation of Christ, and the words which touched me most deeply are these:
I believe it was Pascal who said that the one great tragedy in this life is not to become a saint. Let us, then, set always before us the image of the Crucified Jesus who loved us so much that He emptied Himself. (cf Philippians 2:7). Our journey toward Him continues, until we see Him in heaven, in the Beatific Vision, with Mary and all the saints.
Please let us continue to pray for one another and for all those in most need of His Mercy. For today’s reading and prayers, See HERE

Why indeed have we begun this 33 Day journey? It seems to me that God has called us to it, by His Grace. He knows our hearts will be restless until we rest in Him. He has given His Mother to us as Mother and Model that we may draw closer to her and grow as she did in faith, hope and above all charity.
