Our Blessed Mother's Month of May-St. Louis de Montfort's Way of Consecration



I have read St. Louis de Monfort's writings in the past but I have recently decided to formally complete the consecration. My consecration will be complete on the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual help on June . My preparation began this past Monday, and the little reading and studying I have done has taught me SO MUCH about Christ through our Blessed Mother! Reading "True Devotion" has opened my eyes to many hidden little habits and beliefs that I can correct, thanks to our Lady.

This devotion is one that is recommended by many priests, religious and even many Popes! Here are some general resources about the devotion that would help you in discernment of consecrating yourself as a slave for Our Lady and for Christ!

Our Friends of Our Lady Apostolate - has detailed information about the Consecration to Jesus through Mary including the schedule to begin your study and a FREE consecration kit. (There is a 33 day preparation period for the consecration, and then your formal consecration is done on a particular Marian feast day of your choosing.)

EWTN Library-Has a wealth of information including all the required reading material.

Fisheaters-you can find background and history about this devotion as well as particular prayers.
