Episode 1967: 35 Day Consecration to Our Lady according to St. Louis de Montfort

Consecration to Our Lady according to St. Louis de Montfort.
Preparation:
The 35-day preparation begins on April 8th and will end with us consecrating ourselves on May 13th, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Set Aside Time: Dedicate time each day for prayer and reflection. This devotion requires daily commitment for 35 days.
Structure:
The 35-day period is divided into four parts:
Preparation: The first 12 days involve emptying oneself of the spirit of the world.
Purification: The next 9 days focus on detaching oneself from the spirit of the world and growing in knowledge of oneself.
Transformation: The following 12 days involve seeking knowledge of Mary and increasing dependence on her.
Consecration: The final 2 days involve consecrating oneself entirely to Jesus through Mary.

Prayers and Reflections:
Each day, there will be prayers, readings, and reflections provided to guide you through the process. These will include the recitation of the Rosary (said via Zoom), various prayers to Mary, readings from Scripture, and excerpts from "True Devotion to Mary." by St. Louis de Montfort provide on Catholic Reboot.
Conclusion:
On the day of consecration, you make an act of consecration to Jesus through Mary, surrendering yourself entirely to her care and asking her to intercede for you with her Son.
Importance:
The consecration to Our Lady according to St. Louis de Montfort is seen as a powerful way to grow in holiness and draw closer to Jesus through his mother Mary. It emphasizes the role of Mary as a mediator and intercessor in the spiritual life of believers.
In the "True Devotion to Mary" by St. Louis de Montfort outlines the 33-day process, I extended it by 2 days since I wanted to start on the Feast day of the Annunciation and end on the Feast day of Our Lady of Fatima.
