I consecrated myself to Jesus through Mary and my husband passed away the following year. I believe that my 5 kids and I were able to cope because she was taking care of us. Thank you Father!

[markiecubos]

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

[englishlearningcenter]

I did my consacration to Mary last year. This year I am renewing my consacration. This video has been so helpful for me to understand much better what it means to entrust my whole life to Jesus through our Holy Mother. Thank you very much Father!!

Wow! I'm a new Catholic as of Easter 2023 at age 67. I've read the Brant Pitre book JESUS AND THE JEWISH ROOTS OF MARY and that really answered all of my questions about her. I understood intellectually, but not with my heart. I have been hearing about Marian Consecration for the past year, purchased the Michael Gaitley book 33 DAYS TO MORNING GLORY and while I enjoyed the read I still did not understand why I would do the consecration. I didn't understand so at the 33rd day I put the book away thinking I'm a new Catholic and need to learn more.

FINALLY! THE EXPLANATION STARTING AT 12:24 MAKES IT CLEAR. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to learn more about this entrustment before I do a Marian Consecration on February 21st, 2024

Just consecrated my forth child during the baptism to Mary's Immaculate Heart (according to the old practice) and myself to Mary following the preparation of St. Louis de Monfort. I was discerning this for awhile, but there was no doubt it was the blessed mother (through the rosary) that brought me back to stronger than ever in Catholicism.

It's * to Jesus * through Mary. Jesus is the goal.

While I was painting the image of Mary, infant Jesus and lamb, I came across your podcast regarding our entrustment to our Mother. I sat painting the image and reflected that God came through Mary with her Son our salvation! Truly Mary is the Ark❤

[geraldineheim]

[harmonygordon]

If only people knew how much love Our Blessed Mother Mary has for us, through Her beloved Son Jesus, it is something i will never forget, i was given a chance in 1987 to feel it myself through Mary that night, words can't explain it, but your heart feels it very much, there is not a day that goes by that i can't forget Her, She is a devoted Mother to Her Son and to all who loves Her, but Mother Mary main message to me that night was that the people return back to Her Son Jesus, Mother Mary made my heart flesh again through Jesus, for myself is just the message to you, Jesus is the answer to your heart.

[ahhaya]

Thank you so so much ! This has helped me greatly! I was so confused whether it is right to do the total consecration to immaculate or not, and thank you so much for the explanation❤

“We come to Jesus through Mary the same was he came to us through Mary”

[garyworth]

This is an excellent video. The comments section is trying to be infiltrated by at least one sola scriptura-ist, with his own scriptural selective sentences without context and his own personal interpretations. What is missing there is the teaching of the Magisterium inspired by the Holy Spirit. We pray for him and them; we pray for each other. God bless!
