In preparation for the Marian Consecration, we will be using “33 Day Consecration to Jesus through Mary” by John Priedmore & Nall Slattery & “33 Days to Morning Glory” by Fr. Michael Gaitley MIC.

St. Louis de Montfort in his 33-Day consecration (Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary) helps us to consecrate our hearts and all that we have to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and through her heart to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The devotion helps us to understand the depth of the love of Mary and Jesus. St. John Paul II stated that through reading this consecration his life was transformed. He said “this Marian devotion has since remained an integral part of my interior life and my spiritual theology”.

This devotion is truly life-changing and brings us to a deep foundation built on the rock of Christ. It protects us in this world of spiritual warfare and helps us to understand the gifts given us by God the creator.

It is advised that before starting this devotion you pray for the grace of perseverance and give it your fullest attention and time, because in spiritual warfare the enemy will try everything to rob you of these incredible graces. The Healing and Protection prayer is a good prayer for each day of this devotion.

Each day consists of opening prayer, a scripture reading, a reading from the writings of St. Louis de Montfort, a reflection, various daily/closing prayers, and concluded with the reading from “33 Days to Morning Glory” by Fr. Michael Gaitley MIC.

There will be four consecutive consecration gatherings (if you can make it), which will be held at St. Bonaventure Church in Concord on July 15, July 22, July 29, and August 5 from 6:30 to 8pm.

Marian Consecration will take place on the Solemnity of the Assumption on August 15th at 7pm Mass at St. Bonaventure Church in Concord.

Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for all You have given me. Please cover me with the protective, precious blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. Increase Your Holy Spirit in me with His gifts of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, hunger for prayer, guidance and discernment to help me know Your will and surrender to it more completely.

Father, please heal my negative emotions and any wounds in my heart and spirit. Send the sword of Your Holy Spirit to sever and break all spells, curses, hexes, voodoo and all negative genetic, intergenerational and addictive material, past, present to come, known or unknown, against me, my relationships and family, finances, possessions and ministry.

Father, I forgive and I ask forgiveness for my sins and failings, and I ask that my whole person, body and mind, heart and will, soul and spirit, memory and emotions, attitudes and values lie cleansed, renewed and protected by the most precious blood of Your Son, Jesus.

In the name, power, blood and authority of Jesus Christ I bind and break the power and effect in or around me of any and all evil spirits who are trying to harm me in any way, and I command these spirits and their companion spirits in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to leave me peacefully and quietly and go immediately and directly to the Eucharistic presence of Jesus Christ in the closest Catholic Church tabernacle to be disposed of by Jesus and never again return to harm me.

Dear Holy Spirit, please fill up any void in me to overflowing with your great love. All this, Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ by the guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Immaculate heart of Mary spouse of the Holy Spirit, please pray for and with me.

Amen.
