"God desires that all children be committed to the care of a mother and a father. You are not a member of a single-parent spiritual family. Mary is your spiritual mother, and St. Joseph is your spiritual father." Fr. Calloway

Consecration is a Type of Oath to God
- In the covenants with man, the Sacraments of the Church, there is an exchange of persons. In these consecrations we are taking a private oath with Mary.
- Mary will take you as her spiritual child and offer all things for you to God. You will give every merit, good work and prayer to Mary. Everything will be through Mary to Jesus.
Preparation Periods- Each consecration is broken into four periods of preparation (33 days)
- These preparation periods are spiritual and intentional to help you have fully knowledge and spiritual openness to this oath.
- First 12 days are emptying yourself of the Spirit of the World
- Next 7 days are obtaining knowledge of yourself
- Next seven days are obtaining knowledge of Mary
- Last seven days are obtaining knowledge of Jesus
- As the weeks progress the prayers become more intense. They will take more time than the original 12 days of preparation.
Active Participation in the Graces of these Consecrations- With all gifts of God, the graces that flow are up to you
- Like a present that is given, it must be opened and used.
- An active prayer life is key to these graces flowing
- Examples of active participation with the graces of Consecration:
- Offering your day to God through Mary when you awake
- At daily Mass, offering all of yourself upon the altar through her intercession
- In daily prayer, asking her to be your spiritual director and to invitie the Holy Spirit to lead your prayer time.
