Total Consecration according to St. Louis de Montfort

In my homilies for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, on New Year's Day, I mentioned that no better way exists for us to begin the New Year, than to dedicate ourselves completely to Jesus Christ, through His mother, Mary. I'm sorry that I don't have the homily reproduced here, but I do want to recall the importance of Total Consecration according to St. Louis de Montfort.

Happily, a version exists online here. If you'd like to buy the book, you can check Amazon or here. There are probably more places to find it, so if you've got a better suggestion, please post in the comment box.

Personally, the Total Consecration has meant a great deal to me and my spiritual life. I first made the Consecration about 10 years ago, at Francsican University of Steubenville. As I mentioned in the Homily, if it weren't for this devotion, I sincerely doubt that I would have been ordained a priest. I pray that through this continued devotion, I might yet become a saint.

Please add your experiences with the True Devotion of St. Louis de Montfort in the comments section; and please let us pray for each other as we endeavor to serve Jesus completely through Mary.
