FIRST STAGE
WHY 'devoted to Mary?
consecrate the Consecration to Mary is not making the priests, religious orders or lay people in secular but no less binding.
The Church has always rely on Mary, just think of the oldest Marian prayer: "Sub tuum presidium
" of the third century before our Mother and the apostles in the Cenacle awaiting the Holy Spirit.
E 'Jesus himself wants us there with Mary when she joined the cross: "Son, behold your mother."
E 'for a century, in particular, that Our Lady asked to consecrate themselves to her Immaculate Heart because we want to make sure! Lately there for thirty years in Medjugorje continues to call us because we want to bind itself to and protect us. If Paul VI came to say that "the smoke of s. .. entered the Church," Mother in January of ten years ago, we insisted that the deceiver is freed from the chains.
These are the "times". not to say that is the end of the world, but we are living in the times of the woman clothed with the sun as described in Revelation.
A prophet of these times that we are living (Let's face it!) It was
St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort .
Think ... our Mother at Fatima asked for the first time to devote to his heart: we were in 1917, remember?!?
For the first time we spoke Consecration to the Immaculate Heart ...
But 200 years earlier, in late 1600 and early 1700, his St. Louis heralded the importance of devotion to Mary's Marian piety and consecration to her!
But the story still has incredible! As our Holy
wrote the Treatise on True Devotion to Mary had to keep it without immediately disclose to the heresies in France, then the French Revolution broke out and wrote this precious would never come to us because at that time was used paper to wrap the fish as it is not even considered good for burning (it was said of theological texts and so similar) ... Yet the Providence ...
What happened was between the death of St. Louis and the French Revolution, our book was hidden and rediscovered more than a hundred years later in a trunk ... and arrive in mid-1800: the 1917 is still far away.
Thanks to Providence, the Treaty is now in our hands and affordable to all budgets.
Ma .. wait a moment ...
Let's take it in hand.
We're going to read Article. 114: "
My heart tells me that it will launch for many beasts quivering tear, with their diabolical teeth this little writing and one about whom the Holy Spirit has used to prepare it. At least try to bury him in the darkness and silence of a hood, why not be published .
... Just what has happened. The vision that had St. Louis and he wrote came true. We can confirm through history.
St. Louis prepared the road to Mary at Fatima, which invited all to consecrate to you St. Louis told us that the consecration was the way to join the Legion of Mary when the time would become dark, Our Lady in Medjugorje has confirmed that these were his last appearances and was coming to carry through the message of Fatima ... Each draw their own conclusions: all of God let us resolve to take "
the safest and fast" (cf. Saint Kolbe MM) that leads to Heaven, Mary .
By Fatima on, personal and collective consecration to Mary does not count anymore.
will Pius XII in 1942 to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Paul VI will be to renew this consecration at the end of the Second Vatican Council and to exclaim: "Can one be a Christian unless you Marian?" and will report to John Paul II, from the beginning, "Totus Tuus", devoting all of Mary to her every nation in which he goes to the Madonna, as well as to renew the solemn consecration to the World.
Consecration to Mary is a total renewal of life is the way the authentic Gospel .
Consecration means 1) recognize the divine motherhood of Mary and Jesus accommodate her
2) look to her as role model in fidelity to the Lord
3) Recognize and welcome Mary as our mother in our lives
4) The role of Mary is to be conformed to Christ and bring salvation to
5) Mary can count on me as I am about her: service
Mary is the Universal Mediatrix of graces: consecration to Mary is also asking for help for the graces spiritual and the temporal. A mother takes care of everything.
Devotion to Mary, both by individuals and by the people, manifests itself more alive in difficult times.
I do not see that we are on the verge of major upheaval? Our Lady has at heart the salvation of everyone and everything we need to offer small and even insignificant - for us! - Sacrifice or foil. He needs us and "pray for us sinners" even when we do not always pray.
begin, then, this way to come to consecrate ourselves to Mary. Preparation is essential. Until the appointment Saturday's more that we can invoke the Holy Spirit or with this aspiration:
Come Holy Spirit, come through Mary
Mary, Queen of Peace and Mother of the Movement, TOTUS tuus
