Is wearing the brown scapular binding under pain of sin for one who has made Total Consecration, or is it just a very good suggestion?Carrie Adamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-42473487914945626642012-05-09T18:40:07.416-07:002012-05-09T18:40:07.416-07:00Dear Father Ryan,

I am on a spritual journey in discernment- so that I too may drink of this blessed opportunity, to give 100% devotion to Mary and Jesus.<br /><br />I am such a sinner and pray that God and Mary will both forgive me. I am ready to come clean, right now, and turn my live over to - not mine - but his will.<br /><br />AMENAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-1476669142233882852012-03-28T18:57:24.210-07:002012-03-28T18:57:24.210-07:00Dear Father Ryan,

Your initial post on this ignited a spark and led me and two of my friends to make the Consecration this morning with great joy. I've had True Devotion at home for several years but was too scared initially to even get past the first few pages. Thank you for explaining so many things and helping me to take that leap and not be afraid.

Revelations 12) from the three Persons of the Trinity. <br /><br />Also, one is encouraged to at least consider wearing a simple iron chain on either the wrist or the ankle in commemoration of total slavery to Jesus through Mary. (see more about this in True Devotion n. 170)<br /><br />Neither of these devotions are required, but they are both worth considering as holy and devout, and great helps in the spirit of the Total Consecration. +Father Ryan Erlenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557817305024750902noreply@blogger.com
