A spiritual manual or booklet based on the teachings of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673–1716), a French priest and missionary best known for promoting Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary.
St. Louis de Montfort’s devotion wrote True Devotion to Mary and The Secret of Mary, where he explained the path of consecrating oneself entirely to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The 33 Days Preparation – His consecration method involves a 33-day spiritual preparation of prayer, reflection, and self-renewal. Each day focuses on renouncing the spirit of the world, growing in knowledge of self, Mary, and Jesus Christ, and finally making a personal act of consecration.
The Guidebook – A 33-Day Guidebook (called Preparation for Total Consecration or 33-Day Consecration Guide) provides:
- Daily prayers and readings
- Scripture passages
- Excerpts from St. Montfort’s writings
- Reflections and litanies (e.g., Litany of the Holy Spirit, Litany of the Blessed Virgin)
- The formula of consecration prayer on Day 34 (the Feast Day or a Marian feast like the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, or Assumption).
This is a printable spiritual manual to accompany people who want to go through this 33-day journey of prayer and preparation before making their Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary.
