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.
Hear a saint remembered today
If you could hear the Virgin singing for joy, climb the hills with your Lady, and behold the tender embrace and greeting of the barren woman and the Virgin, where the little servant recognized the Lord, the herald the Judge, the voice the Word: I think you would then sweetly sing with the most blessed Virgin that sacred canticle, “My soul magnifies the Lord,” and, rejoicing with the little Prophet, adore the wondrous Child conceived in the Virgin.
Make this prayer your own
I am all yours, and all that I have belongs to you, O my lovable Jesus, through Mary, your holy Mother.
St. Louis de Montfort · True Devotion to Mary §233One faithful act
If you have made Montfort’s consecration, renew it with the words he gives.
