Total Consecration and Wearing a chain?

[braeden_mackay]

Hi everyone, i am currently preparing to consecrate myself to Mary on the 31st of may and was wondering if any of you have already made thier consecration wear a chain as a sign of thier consecration?

I would only be able to wear a small plain chain around my neck, is this still acceptable? And it is made of Stainless steel so i can wear it all the time without taking it off, would this fulfill the requirements of wearing a chain in honor of our consecration?

Thanks for your answers!!

Yes, this chain would be just fine. Small chains can be worn on the neck, ankle, wrist, or any other part of the body which will easily hold the chain on.

How wonderful that you are taking on this devotion! I’m happy for you.

I’ve done this myself and I wear a silver chain with a small Miraculous Medal that I got from the shrine church of St. Catherine Labore when I was in Paris in October. I wear it all the time, even when bathing. It’s unobtrusive but it expresses my constant intention. Congratulations! You are now my sister lol.

I wear a small chain on my wrist with a Miraculous Medal. I never take it off- but any chain will work. Before I got mine, I wore a small “dog tag” chain attached to a brown scapular that I wear everyday.

What a wonderful story! In one edition of “True Devotion to Mary”, the Monfort Fathers explain that currently, for many of them, the necklace chain for their Miraculous Medals serves this purpose.

Please know that the chain is an option, not a requirement. Many wear a light chain, either a necklace chain or an ankle bracelet. If you choose to do so, great! But I don’t think that you should let it cause any anxiety about when, how, and if you wear it.
