Already Consecrated? Repeat with us! Who is this Mary? She is your mother. She is my mother. She is the spouse of the Holy Spirit and bearer of great graces for us all. The more we belong to her, the more she can unite us with her Son and use us to accomplish God’s most perfect will. John Paul says “Mary is the discreet yet subtle presence.” Her spiritual motherhood is deeply connected with the Church and with all of us as members. She is waiting and wanting to walk the path of life with each and every one of us and lead us deeper into the merciful heart of her Jesus. She calls to us in her quiet ways but it’s up to us to answer. John Paul goes on to say, “Even when the same woman is the mother of many children, her personal relationship with each one of them is of the very essence of motherhood.” Mary is personally a mother to us all, and she doesn’t lose us in the crowd even though we may lose sight of her. “Behold, your mother.” (John 19:27) —Linda Bevec

When Father Michael Gaitley, author of 33 Days to Morning Glory, recently visited St. Michael the Archangel parish, he shared how Mary and Divine Mercy are changing hearts across the planet, that you and I are the heart and arms of Jesus for others! St. Michael’s Marian Prayer group shares the graces of the Blessed Virgin Mary through prayer and fellowship. Receive Our Holy Mother’s blessings by praying the rosary and then, read or join our 33 Days to Morning Glory: Marian Consecration group. Consecrating ones self to Jesus through Mary with Fr. Gaitley’s  33-day book/retreat, is so meaningful, you’ll want to repeat it. Mark your calendar for our group’s 33-Day Consecration to Mary in May 2014 and Fr. Gaitley’s follow-up DVD series, “Consoling the Heart of Jesus.”
