Consecrate this Lent to Jesus through Mary, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Preliminary remarks
Throughout the season of Lent, we will be posting little articles on the total consecration and the true devotion. It is our hope that these will be helpful to those who are making the total consecration this year on the feast of the Annunciation.
There are several on-line resources which could be helpful to those who desire to make the total consecration according to the method of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort.
1) Fisheaters.com has a good introduction to the total consecration together with the daily readings and prayers which are commonly used in the preparation. I would highly recommend making use of this resource. See the website [here].
2) St. Louis primary theological work on the total consecration, True Devotion to Mary can be read on-line through the EWTN website. While the format is simple and somewhat plain-Jane, I think it makes the text much easier to read than what I have seen on other sites. See this website [here].
3) I believe that another work by de Montfort, The Secret of Mary, would be even more helpful to most than the True Devotion. The Secret of Mary is much shorter (only about sixty pages, compared to nearly six hundred), and is also far more direct and pastoral. This work really is a must-read for any who are planning on making the total consecration. EWTN has put the whole work on-line. You can read it [here].
You can spread the word about the Total Consecration through Facebook.
Check it out [here]. "Join" it, "share" it, "like" it, and "invite" others!

Hi Folks,
I'm going to be renewing the 33 day consecration this year using the book 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley MIC, starting tomorrow.
I've never looked forward to Lent so much in my life as I am this year. I need a break from the internet, especially from FreeRepublic, and I usually take an "internet fast" each Lent (with varying success.)
But I'm starting my break from FreeRepublic and the internet early this year, starting tomorrow.
See you all at Easter.
To: Dr. Brian Kopp
Folks, JimRob is too nice to put it this way, but if you use FR, and you're not a donor, you're riding in the wagon that other folks are pulling. That's not a Conservative value at all.
We're not talking about a major donation here, $5 a month. How much time do you spend on FR? Isn't that the best deal you've ever run across?
C'mon now, git 'er done, if some ham-n-egger like me can do this (and more) you can too. Donate!

Vanilla Swirl,
this is a Catholic Caucus thread. If you are not now an active, practicing Catholic, stay off the thread. Questions on this may be resolved by you asking the Religion Moderator. This most especially includes Lenten devotions. Thank you.

Doctor,
aside from occasional Lenten devotion posts I plan on, I’ll be doing the same. It’s time, and I need it, and welcome it. May all go well with you and your family this Lent. See you again at Easter, and I think I’ll be joing you in the Total Consecration. God bless.
Dave
