Renew the same consecration
Every year at least, on the same day, they shall renew the same consecration, observing the same practices for three weeks. They may even, every month and every day, renew all that they have done, in these few words: Tuus totus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt: I am all yours, and all that I have belongs to you, O my lovable Jesus, through Mary, your holy Mother.
