How many have consecrated him/herself to the Blessed Mother through St. Louis’ method: True Devotion? I’m preparing myself, consecrated next week: Feast of Assumption! 👍
 
No, I haven’t but on November 5th I will try again for the 5th or 6th time. I have gotten through all the prayers and readings, but I messed up when I mixed some of the days up and so I thought I had to start over. I wish more people would do this and talk about how it has changed their lives. I know I have a strong desire to do this and every time I fail at it, it breaks my heart. I will never give up and even after I do consecrate myself I plan to reconsecrate myself and invite my husband. Also I will teach my daughter to do this as well. I can’t wait until I do it. I will be so happy!:dancing:
 
I completed my consecration about two months ago. It really feels great to know that I am a slave of Mary, and she really helps me keep out of trouble. This is very important because I am a sailor, and some of you wouldn’t believe the kinds of temptations Sailors run into.

Now I go to daily mass whenever we visit a port. In spite of my unpredictable watch schedule and heavy workload, I am still able to pray the rosary (5 mysteries), the little crown, and the magnificat every day, for which I can only give credit to her loving intercession.

Don’ t give up! Keep praying! I can’t imagine anything as wonderful as being totally consecrated to Our Lady with all that I have. It is a blessing every day.:bounce:
 
Ah, Hah!

Finally found a spot where I might “feel” confortable. Let’s all talk. You’all, of course, know that we are in the best of company. Our Holy Father has made the same Consecration by his own public admission.
Not going to tell how many years our Lady had to hang on to me but you can trust that once you make the Consecration, she will not let you go. Very rough waters maybe but our Lady always invites us back like any good mother.
Our Lady, Queen of all Hearts, pray for us.
Peace on earth to men of good will.

Can someone please explain what this is and how to go about it? I would love to consecrate myself to the Blessed Mother.

For a long, thorough answer, obviously you’d have to read True Devotion yourself, there’s a lot of the online version flying around the 'Net;

but the gist of this devotion is a ***total *** self-consecration to the Blessed Mother and her cause; you become a slave of Mary; it’s a devotion of a Holy Bondage; all that you are and have - temporally, spiritually, all the merits of your prayers, faith and work – everything – is handed to her hands for her to use as she wishes. 👍 in other words, whatever you do, you do in Mary, with Mary, for Mary and through Mary.
 
Jiml8966,
If you go to ewtn.com and click on libraries, documents you can find most all of what is published for FREE. They have 14 entries. My copies of “True Devotion to Mary”, “The Reign of Jesus Through Mary” are probably out of print but there have been newer editions put out.
This is not a “devotion” as understood by most people today, but a total way of life. One wants to make certain he/she understands what the word “total” means. No less than the following, according to my copy, Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius X, Pope Benedict XV, Pope Pius XI, Pope Pius XII, and happily our own dear Holy Father have endorsed, recommended and praised this devotion.
A deep devotion to our Lady always leads to her Son.
I read somewhere in these threads that a lady had tried several time to start but did not finish. One sets a target date of the next date of one of our Lady’s Feastdays 3l days with a few days to spare. Make the best preparation that one can and then Make the Consecration. If any of us “waited” until we had done it perfectly our Lady “most likely” would not have any children/followers (smile). Like Fr. Corapi says about the Rosary “just do it”.
Our Lady, Queen of all hearts, Queen of the Universe, Pray for us.
Peace on earth to men of good will.
Oh, there is also a lovely little book, “The Secret of Mary Explained to Children” put out by The Montfort Fathers as well

I decided, after reading the Holy Father’s encylcical on the Rosary, to find out more about this “consecration” business. I read through True Devotion (twice!), and on Nov 5 of last year I went back to the local Catholic bookstore and purchased the small booklet, Preparation for Total Consecration (published by the Montfort Fathers). After I purchased it, I was surprised to see that one of the 31 day suggested schedules actually began on the very same day I purchased the book! Coincidence? Not if you believe in the Holy Spirit!!!

I made my consecration on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception last year. I’m still growing into it, learning more about it. I posted my story on the Montfort Missionaries website, if you want to read it in detail.

For those who want to really deepen their love for Jesus, and their walk with Him, I highly recommend this path!
 
On the recommendation of a friend, I made the consecration on April 28, St. Louis’ feast day. It is about 10 years since that day, and I have renewed every year on my anniversary. Our Lady has been good to me in spite of my seemingly endless weakness and repeated failures. Of course there have been some fabulous successes along the way, too. Perhaps the most noteworthy of all is that my daughter, who attended a large state university, found man from a Catholic family whom she will marry soon. While neither she nor he are practicing their faith currently, I have hope that their upbringing will one day lead them to return. My wife and I pray daily for that, and I ask your prayers also.
 
hi, can anyone provide a link for the best book either online or for sale that I can get for making the consecration? the actual process of it i mean. is the best text ‘preparation for total consecration’? some of the sites i keep getting for it when i google it are sspx and stuff. thank you.
 
I bought the Devotion to Mary book when I was young but lost my copy. Today I recite the Rosary daily, until I go out and get this book what else can I do to begin this journey? How can I begin the true devotion?

Thanks!

Does any one know where I can reach these people online at?
 
Forgive me but I’m seem to be a little slow on the uptake here but who/what is “BayShore”
 
All set to start July 13th for the dedication on the feast of the Assumption. I did my book reading today. Actually, I have the book but found reading it on-line easier.

I am always troubled when I read the bible passage about Jacob’s mother Rebecca helping him cheat to receive his father’s blessing. Were they sinning or were they doing God’s will because Jacob was meant to be the one to receive the blessing because he was the holier son? I am not a bible scholar so maybe I am missing something.

The True Devotion is based somewhat on the theory that the mother (Mary/Rebecca) can help the child reach heavenly goals.
 
Consecrated myself this past Immaculate Conception!

Totus Tuus Sum Maria!
