Totus Tuus

Greetings to all:

I am happy to find this forum, "Totus Tuus."

I made the Total Consecration to Jesus Christ through Mary in 1957 (Aug. 15th) seven years before I was ordained to the Priesthood.

I never regretted it.

I retired from the US Navy as a Chaplain in Nov 2007.

Presently I am a full time Chaplain in the US Veterans Medical Center in Washington DC USA.

God bless you all!

"I AM ALL THINE AND ALL I HAVE IS THINE, O MOST LOVING JESUS, THROUGH THY HOLY MOTHER."

Hello consecrated one. Yes, go ahead and adopt that prayer if you wish to. I'll repost it here so others who are interested can see it:

Holy Spirit, lead me to a perfect consecration to Jesus Christ, with Mary, in Mary, through Mary, and for Mary, that my devotion may be interior, trusting, holy, constant, and disinterested. Amen.

Hello, I've just discovered this group
I am on my 12th day and will begin my 1st day of my 1st week tomorrow! I am very excited. Does anyone have any ideas to deepen the experience and get even more out of it? I am keeping a journal, which was suggested by a "forum friend". Anyway thank you. I love your prayer! I would really benefit from something like that! Or maybe "adopt" yours, if you don't mind? Since Lent and Advent are both penetential seasons, I can apprectiate some of the feelings, and atmosphere surrounding your (and you wife's) Consecration. I will make my Consecration on January 8th which is Our Lady of Prompt Succor. (and my husband's birthday, but he's very understanding!) I am very appreciative of the Cleaning House, and reevaluating which I am doing now, before the Consecrtation and before the Celebraton of the Birth of Our Lord.

i consecrated myself to Jesus thur Mary last saturday on the Feast of the Assumption ...along with 11,000 other Catholics attending Father Corapi's conference on the Holy Spirit in Buffalo.

peace, love, and joy to all

I was reading the account of Joseph in Genesis to my daughters this evening and I made a connection between Joseph being a 'type' of Mary. I was reading about when Joseph's brothers were pleading with him to let their brother Benjamin return to Jacob. Genesis 40:18 is very telling to me:

Genesis 40:18

'Then Judah went up to him and said, "Oh my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant; for you are like Pharaoh himself."'

What I find fascinating about this passage is that Joseph is clearly second in command and earlier Pharaoh made it clear that Joseph would be 2nd only to Pharaoh. Then Judah makes the comparison of Joseph having much power "like Pharaoh" over his brothers who are in his service.

Likewise, Mary is second only to the Triune God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mary serves God as Joseph served Pharaoh. We are in service to Mary as Joseph's brothers were in service to Joseph.

What do others think? If you have an opportunity, read earlier in Genesis where pharaoh gives Joseph power over all Egypt.

I consecrated myself this past year. Mary called me to her in a very special way. I'm honored to have been chosen by her to be her client to spread the Gospel of her son Jesus.

I hope we can get at least three more members so I can enable the forum so we can expand topics we can share with each other. We added quite a few in a short period of time so I trust we will get there soon. There's so much to discuss and share.

HI, everyone. I consecrated myself for the first time about 10 yrs. ago. I continue to renew this consecraton yearly. Every year it seems to have deeper and deeper meaning for me.
I hope other post. I would like to hear from others.

I'm so glad to have found this group - I am in the Legion of Mary and St Louis Marie de Montfort's True Devotion is very important in the spirituality of the Legion, and inspired our founder, Frank Duff. Later this year in London, we are hoping to have a series of public talks on True Devotion, with the aim of encouraging people to undertake total consecration to Mary.

Peace be to all who visit this group. May our Mother Mary guide and protect you in all that you do today, and that her beloved son, Jesus Christ, may always be in our hearts.

For those unfamiliar with or looking to reaquaint themselves with the total consecration using the St. Louis de Montfort method, the following link is an excellent guide as to what is involved with this calling to be a child of Mary:
