33 Days to Morning Glory
Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima by Consecrating Yourself to Mary!
Looking for the quickest, surest, and easiest way to holiness, but don't know where to begin? In our hectic day and time, Saint John Paul II and Blessed Mother Teresa knew that the quickest way to be transformed into a saint is through consecration to Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Find out how in this series!
What is it?
Consecration to Jesus through Mary, also known as Marian Consecration or Entrustment, is nothing new in the Church. The goal of this program is to lead us to formally entrust ourselves to Mary, as Christ did at the Annunciation and as He willed for His disciples to do at the foot of the Cross. Find out both the theological basis for this consecration, as well as the practical difference it will make in your life.
How does it work?
We'll study the thoughts of four saints: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. John Paul II, and Blessed Mother Teresa. There are short, daily readings (2-3 pages) that you ponder, as well as questions you can answer in the study guide/retreat companion. Then, at the weekly meeting, there is a small-group discussion, followed by a 30-minute DVD.

When: Tuesday afternoons, 12:00 - 1:30 p.m., begins October 24th
