Consecration to Jesus through
Mary
33 days to Morning Glory is a 33-day journey to consecration to Jesus through Mary, using the spiritual wisdom of four giants of Marian spirituality: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Saint John Paul II.
33 Days to Morning Glory is available in CCC BookstoreIn English & SpanishThis devotion consists then in giving ourselves entirely to the Blessed Virgin, in order to belong entirely to Jesus through her. St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort True Devotion to Mary, No. 121.
These words by St. Louis de Montfort, the great promulgator of Marian consecration, well sum up the means and the goal of consecration to Jesus through Mary. Far from being simply an added or isolated Marian piety, consecration to Jesus through Mary represents a crowning of Marian devotion, a new and dynamic Marian dimension of the Christian life that has been enthusiastically encouraged by the Church through both invitation and example.
What Is Marian Consecration?
Marian consecration is fundamentally a promise of love and a gift of self that gives all that the Christian is and does completely and directly to the Mother of the Lord, which thereby allows her to unite us to her Divine Son in ways simply not possible without her powerful maternal intercession. Consecration to Jesus through Mary is to give oneself entirely to Mary in a self-donation of love that enables the Mediatrix of all graces to use her full intercessory power to keep a person faithful to his or her baptismal promises to Jesus Christ.
