Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary: Audio Preparation

Consecration means to be “set aside for a specific purpose”. Mary’s life was completely “set aside” to serve the Lord, and through this she was the perfect disciple. As our mother in heaven, she desires that we share in her joy and join her in this total consecration. With Mary’s help, we can give ourselves totally to Jesus.

Upon completion, give yourself TOTALLY to Jesus through Mary with this prayer, written by St. Louis de Monfort:

I, ________________, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity.
