Week 1 - Day 2 - Seeking self-knowledge on the journey to Consecration

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We continue our journey remembering the significance of our prayers and actions, and especially our intentions offering all, as St. Louis de Montfort urges us in True Devotion

1. During the first week they should offer up all their prayers and acts of devotion to acquire knowledge of themselves and sorrow for their sins.

Let them perform all their actions in a spirit of humility…

They will ask our Lord and the Holy Spirit to enlighten them saying, “Lord, that I may see,” or “Lord, let me know myself,” or the “Come, Holy Spirit”. Every day they should say the Litany of the Holy Spirit, with the prayer that follows, as indicated in the first part of this work. They will turn to our Blessed Lady and beg her to obtain for them that great grace which is the foundation of all others, the grace of self-knowledge. For this intention they will say each day the Ave Maris Stella and the Litany of the Blessed Virgin.

Without the Lord we can do nothing (cf Jn 15); but faith assures us: “Nothing is impossible with God” (cf Luke 1)! So, let us begin this new day with the faith, hope and above all charity, given to us in Baptism. By His Grace and the intercession of our Mother, let us go forward prayerfully and unafraid, opening ourselves to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Prayers to be offered each day:
Litany of the Holy Spirit: HERE
Ave Maris Stella: HERE
Litany of the Blessed Virgin: HERE
