I'm on my 4th day of preparation for making a'Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary, so this message is right on target. This is my third 'Total Consecration' renewal and I'm quite excited about it, after all I almost 75 years old (March 12, 2012) and not in perfect health, (diabetes) so one never knows when the Lord will call me home. I long for that Day but in the meantime, I will try to get as close as I can to Jesus and Mary, placing myself in-between Their Hearts and trusting in Their Love. At the end of 33 days of preparation, I will make my Consecration of the Feast of The Immaculate Conception, praise God!

St. Louis de Montfort
"Be persuaded, then, that the more you look at Mary in your prayers, contemplations, actions and sufferings, if not with a distinct and definite view, at least with a general and imperceptible one, the more perfectly will you find Jesus Christ, who is always with Mary, great, powerful, active and incomprehensible more than in Heaven or in any other creature. Thus, so far from the divine Mary, all absorbed in God, being an obstacle to the perfect in attaining union with God, there has never been up to this time, and there never will be, any creature who will aid us more efficaciously in this great work."
St. Louis de Montfort, True Devotion to Mary, (Tan Books: 1978), 105.

St. Louis de Montfort words are full of hope even if we turn to Our Lady in a general way we will find her Son. Today, I will renew my consecration to Our Lady throughout the day and believe that She will bring me closer to the Lord. I will continue in my Marian practices.
Marian Vow:
St. Maximilian Kolbe
"What significance do we give our consecration? Do we know how to live it day by day? Are we aware that belonging to the Immaculate has great importance for us and for others?"
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
