As mentioned in an earlier blog posting from a few weeks ago, I completed my 33 Days to Morning Glory “Do it Myself” retreat to prepare myself for my first Marian Consecration. I completed the book right on schedule and after receiving Holy Communion on Sunday, 11 February, which also happened to be the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes, I recited the consecration prayer of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Once I arrived back home, I joined the Militia of the Immaculata.
I truly can’t say enough about the book 33 Days to Morning Glory and encourage you to pick it up if you are considering your own Marian Consecration. I plan to re-read my copy of 33 Days to Morning Glory each year to re-consecrate myself.
Meanwhile, I’ll continue my daily routine of Praying the Rosary, read scripture, attend weekly Mass, participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (monthly) and dive deeper into the writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Until next time…
Fratus tuus in Christo,
Jerry
