In easy to understand language, this text describes how anyone, of any age or background, may consecrate their heart to Jesus, through Mary, using the celebrated method of St Louis de Montfort. Progressing through four successive themes over 33 days, and by way of daily scripture, guidance from St Louis’s writings, sayings from the saints, reflections, resolutions and prayer, we are led to personal conversion and consecration of our heart and will to those of Jesus through his mother Mary.
“Love is not dependence but a gift that makes us live.”
“we all carry within us a drop of the poison”
“Victory through love and patience, not through power.”
“Life is stronger than death. Good is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Truth is stronger than lies.”
“As things become more intense and the pressure increases, it is only because I am growing and drawing closer to birth, that is, the victorious emergence into eternal life.”
“Eros, reduced to pure ‘sex’ has become a commodity, a mere ‘thing’ to be bought and sold; or rather, man himself becomes a commodity. This is hardly man’s great ‘yes’ to the body. On the contrary, he now considers his body and his sexuality as the purely material part of himself, to be used and exploited at will.”
“I forgive all who have injured me, and I ask pardon of all I have injured.”
“as Christians we can never be pessimistic; we know well that on our journey through life we often encounter violence, falsehood, hatred, and persecution, but this does not discourage us. Prayer teaches us above all to see God’s signs.”
“Do I beat myself up when I fail, or do I cast myself into the hands of God trusting in the infinite love of my Heavenly Father?”
“Mother protects the faith, safeguards relationships, saves those in storms, and preserves them from evil.”
