I renewed mine this year with (almost) the whole preperation prayers and meditations. It is such a comfort to me to totally give everything to Mary and know that everything in my life belongs to her now. It has especially been a comfort during my divorce process and grief, to know that she cares even more than I do and that her motherly love is with me at every moment. I pray that you will be truly blessed by the experience and continued relationship of the consecration. Through the years I have taken on the practice of entrusting all the prayer requests to Mary and asking to gather all the intentions of those who have asked for my prayer, who I have offered or intended to pray for, and those who are most in need of my prayer into a beautifully arranged bouquet to present to her son, Jesus. What a wonderful joy to belong totally to Jesus through Mary! Manya, So happy for you regarding doing the consecration and preparation!
