PhuturePriest Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's Consecration day! I've been doing a 33 day Consecration to Mary and today is the day of my consecration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Which one did you do? de Monfort? 33 Days to Morning Glory, though I plan to use the de Montfort consecration because I didn't like the consecration in the book very much.

Credo in Deum Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Congrats. Our Lady of Seven Sorrows today, good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Congrats. Our Lady of Seven Sorrows today, good choice. I chose this day specifically. It seemed like the best choice out of them all, and it resonated with me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo in Deum Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I did mine on March 19th. I figured if anyone knows about true devotion to Mary, it's St. Joseph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this your first time? If I had a do-over, I'd have done Fr. Gaitley's my first time, and De Monfort 2nd. De Monfort's was a pretty life changing experience though. I plan to do it again in the near future. Also, congratulations, I meant to say that in my first post. Marian consecration is a great thing. :) Edited September 15, 2014 by Amppax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaitley's is good for teaching you what exactly consecration is and why you're doing it, which is why it's a great first-starter. I plan to do mine like Saint John Paul the Great and renew it daily, and next year I'm going to do Saint Louis de Montfort's, though I hear it is quite challenging.

Gaitley's description is pretty perfect. It's basically a long list of litany's that you say everyday, which keeps getting longer. But it's amazing, don't let that dissuade you from doing it.

My only issue with using Saint Louis de Montfort's today is I have to write it down and sign it, which is going to take forever. I should probably get around to it sooner rather than later. :P His flowery language is preferable, but the consecration itself is long-winded and straining on the hand to write down.

Do you not have the book? I think I have extras I can send you, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did it, but I was incredibly distracted by noise which thus frustrated me, so I'm calling it a mulligan and trying again later when it's more quiet.

Haha I made the decision to write mine after mass kneeling at the communion rail in front of a statue of Mary (I believe it was Mary Queen of Hearts). By the end my legs were numb and my hand started to hurt. When I read the paper I laughed cause you can see the frustration levels in the handwriting towards the end of the consecration. Good times.

Gaitley at the end of his book says Mary will do huge things for you once you've consecrated yourself? I did the consecration not 15 minutes ago, and I was just notified the Knights of Columbus council from my old town has just sent a $400 check to me to pay for a plane ticket for a vocational trip I'm doing in Indiana.
