JOIN THE 33 DAY Total Consecration of Jesus through Mary


St. Louis de Montfort (1673 – 1716) had a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and wrote extensively on the virtues of Our Lady, what true devotion to Her consists in, and how the faithful need to turn to Her as the Way to Her Son, Jesus Christ.


In his classic writings ( The Secret of MaryThe Secret of the Rosary, and True Devotion to Mary) he recommends that the faithful formally consecrate themselves to the Blessed Mother. For this end he developed a specific 33-day program consisting of various prayers and readings to help the faithful detach themselves from the world and bond themselves more closely with Christ through the example and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This 33-day program can be found in his classic work True Devotion to Mary as well as included in the links below to complete it online.


St. Louis de Montfort stands in a long tradition of saints completely devoted to Our Lady, and his work has been influential in the lives of many other saints, notable among them is St. John Paul II who took his papal motto, "Totus Tuus" (Totally Yours) from de Montfort.


You may join any day, although we started on Sun 4th Sep 2023, but you need to do 2 or 3 per day to make up for the earlier ones :-

After the 33-day program/ renewal is completed, the Act of Consecration is made on a Marian feast day: Our Lady of the Rosary on Sat 07 Oct 2023, which is a First Saturday. 

Through this 33-day program we are giving Mary all of ourself - heart, mind, and soul - in order to bring us to Her Son, Jesus Christ. Also that She may use us as a holy instrument in Her battle with satan - i.e. this consecration allows Her the free reign in our life to make us holy (as She assists us, through the Holy Spirit, to conform to Her virtues) and to use our prayers, sacrifices, and sufferings for the greater glory of God.


The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spread of God's kingdom."     - St. Maximilian Kolbe


"Happy are the faithful slaves of the Queen of Heaven, for they will enjoy true freedom."     - St. Cecilia to Mother Agnes of Jesus, as quoted by St. Louis de Montfort
