Sometimes it seems that the
media is dead set against the Church, and then you come across an article like
this one [“Lent
2012 offers a rare way to honor Mary and Jesus at the same time”, here],
written by L.A. Times staff writer Rene Lynch.
Referring to the rare
circumstances which allow the preparation for the Total Consecration to begin
on Ash Wednesday, concluding on the Solemnity of the Annunciation (this year,
March 26th), the article states, “Christians can use this year's Lent
to also follow in the footsteps of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort. He was a French
priest known for his deep commitment to Mary, and came up with a series of
short prayers and spiritual practices to honor her called the Total
Consecration.”
Let us all offer a prayer of
gratitude to the Good Lord for spreading this devotion. Also, say a prayer for
Rene Lynch and for all who read her article, that the grace of Christ given
through Mary will indeed make this their best Lent ever.

Consecration this Lent, together with prayers for the first twelve days.
wonderful of you to post about the consecration; delighted the main stream media has picked up on it; am making the consecration as part of my Lenten programme.
