Prior to making your consecration, de Montfort presents a period of 33 days examen of purifying your thoughts and self for consecration covering, The world, yourself, Mary, & Jesus.
There are several texts available, we are offering an online daily reflection containing each days meditation and prayer, from de Monfort's "Preparation for Total Consecration" -
Those renewing their Consecration
The Renewal will be at on August 15th on the Feast of the Assumption
St. Louis de Montfort introduces his consecration with " The Secret of Mary". This secret sets forth the admonitions of the state of soul necessary to consecrate oneself to Jesus through Mary.
de Montfort also offers a warning that this consecration is for use for your own personal salvation and sanctification.
The secret works its effects in the soul only in proportion
to the use made of it.
For these reasons we offer the days of meditation
and renewal once a year.
