Meaning of Consecration to Mary
This page explains what consecration truly means—both in its general sense and in the unique, life-giving way it applies to the Blessed Virgin Mary. From setting apart sacred things for God’s service to willingly giving one’s whole self into Mary’s care, the meaning unfolds as both a definition and a lived reality. I share how my own consecration brought a deep lifestyle change, reordered my days, and proved how good and trustworthy Our Lady is to those who are hers. At its heart, consecration to Mary is not about loss, but about finding a mother who leads you unfailingly to her Son.

Marian Consecration
This page shares what Marian Consecration really is—a deliberate, lifelong commitment to give oneself to Jesus through Mary—and what it has meant in my life. I explain my motives, from wanting to be under her care to gratitude for her help in overcoming addiction and surviving a widowmaker heart attack. The decision required courage, trust, and deep devotion, and it led to a complete reordering of my life. I also reflect on the importance of paying close attention to her guidance, thanking her promptly, and recognizing that she never forgets or fails her children. Marian Consecration is a path of love, trust, and daily union with the Mother who always leads to her Son.

Why Consecration to Mary Is Important
This page reflects on why giving oneself to the Blessed Mother is more than a pious act—it is a lifeline for salvation, spiritual growth, and protection. I share how Mary’s unwavering care transformed my life, deepened my relationship with Jesus, and taught me to trust her completely, even with the most critical decisions of my life. Consecration brings an intimacy with her that becomes one’s most valuable possession, leading to deeper prayer, greater peace, and a certainty of her protection against evil. Above all, it is important because Mary knows the surest way to her Son, and she never abandons those who are hers.
How to Consecrate Yourself to Mary
This page serves as a practical guide for anyone ready to give themselves to Jesus through Mary. I outline both the classic 33-day preparation of St. Louis de Montfort and the modern adaptation by Fr. Michael Gaitley, explaining how to choose a Marian feast day, follow the daily prayers, and meditate on Scripture. Drawing from the example of saints through the centuries, I emphasize that the goal is not just finishing a program but deepening your closeness to Our Lady. With patience, perseverance, and trust, this journey of preparation becomes a heartfelt offering, leading to a day of consecration that marks the beginning of a new way of life under Mary’s care.
Devotion After Marian Consecration
This page offers a concrete path for living your consecration day by day, centered on the “Five Stones” Our Lady gave at Medjugorje: daily prayer (especially the Rosary), fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, weekly Mass, monthly confession, and daily Scripture reading. I share how these practices have shaped my life since my first consecration, drawing from my pilgrimage to Medjugorje and the wisdom of saints and Church tradition. Each stone strengthens the soul, keeps us spiritually healthy, and deepens our union with Mary, who desires nothing more than to lead us closer to her Son.
My Consecration Journey
This page is a personal reflection on the road Mary chose for me—one that led through addiction, a widowmaker heart attack, open-heart surgery, and finally to the day of my consecration. I share the fears, doubts, and wrestling of heart that came before surrendering everything into her hands, as well as the unshakable trust that followed. Through it all, I have found that Mary’s way is steady, protective, and full of grace. She never abandons those who are hers, supplying what we lack and leading us safely toward her Son. This is the experience of my lifetime, and the gift I wish for everyone to discover.
