Preparation for Total Consecration ...
... to Jesus Through Mary
according to St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort
"God, the Incomprehensible, allowed Himself
to be contained by the humble Virgin Mary
without losing anything of His immensity.  So
we must let ourselves be perfectly contained
and led by the humble Virgin without any
reserve on our part." -  
St. Louis de Montfort,
TD #157

**Congratulations**
Congratulations to the thousands of Faithful in
our Diocese who have made their Act of
Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary.  
Thanks be to God!  Thank you for your
prayers and Total Consecration!


**Thank you**
Thank you to all who have helped promote this
beautiful Consecration, to the Faithful who
prayed and made their Act of Total
Consecration, to our host Parishes and all who
helped in the Total Consecration Masses, and
to our Clergy who celebrated the Masses.
Many thanks to God, Our Blessed Mother,
Saint Joseph, and Saint Louis Marie de
Montfort!

God bless you!


**If I make my Act of Total Consecration on
April 8th, will my Anniversary date be April
8th, or will it be the Solemnity of the
Annunciation of the Lord?**
The Act of Consecration is made on a Feast
Day.  This year, the Annunciation of the Lord
falls on April 8th.  Those of us making our Act
of Total Consecration on April 8th will always
have our anniversary on the Annunciation of
the Lord.  Usually, the Annunciation of the
Lord is on
March 25th.
