"I am all yours, and all that I have is yours, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, your most holy Mother"
(True Devotion, 233).
DAY 8 of 33:
WEEK 2: Contemplate the Our Father as we take St. Maximilian Kolbe as our guide
Action:
IMPORTANT!
THIS WILL BE THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR DAY,
OUR CONSECRATION
- IT WILL BE OUR SOURCE OF LIFE:
Resolve to Pray a complete set of mysteries of the Rosary every day - as an act of love to God and in fulfillment of Mary's requests to us.
Start by contemplating the Joyful mysteries of the Rosary - pray these mysteries all together (takes about 15 minutes), or pray one mystery at a time as you go about your day (each taking about 3 minutes).
Begin your day with while you're getting ready for your day - (you can even use a recording - there are lots of them online and on your phone if that's helpful to you) praying the Mystery of the Annunciation:
Offering and promising"I will say "yes" to you, O God, at every moment of my day as Mary did, saying 'I am the hand servant of the Lord, let it be done unto me according to your word.'"
As you go forward with your day: to work... to take your kids to school... to perform your daily duties... as you go to Mass or go to offer Mass if you are a priest, etc. Pray the Mystery of the Visitation:
Offering and promising "As I 'go forth' in all I do today, I acknowledge I carry Jesus within me, asking the Holy Spirit to speak through me to lead others to encounter Jesus' Presence and His Sanctifying Grace, trusting like Mary the Word of God spoken to me, and also asking for the Grace to be like Elizabth - ever ready to see and recognize God in those I meet."
As you continue your day - Pray the Mystery of the Nativity: Offering and promising "I will give birth to you, O Christ, today - to make You manifest to the world around me - I am ready to accept that God's ways are not my ways when there is 'no room' for my plans, to sing 'Glory to God' in awareness of the vast array of angels in heaven rejoicing with me that You, O God are Emmanuel - You are 'God with me' now - here on earth as it is in heaven."
As you continue your day - Pray the Mystery of the Presentation: Offering and promising, "I will offer and consecrate this day back to you O God, I give everything to You in love, my body, soul, even all my exterior goods and all my interior intentions... I offer you all my loved ones, all my hopes and desires, all my weakness and frailty... I give you everything, I renew my Baptismal Promises and reject sin and satan today in worship of you alone O Lord."
As you continue your day: Pray the Mystery of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple: Offering and promising: "Even in the midst of great anxiety, I will forever seek you, O Lord, in Your Father's House... I will go forth with Mary and Joseph -- offering all those who are lost and are in search of you even if they don't know it - until we find you, and all the lost together united with You, O Lord, in your holy Temple... in the Church, in the Mass, in the Sacraments..."
By praying the rosary every day,
in obedience, in love, in anxiety, in imperfection...
Not perfectly, but if we pray it - if we continue to pray it -
we are vanquishing the real inner conflict within us.
We are choosing Truth over lies, Goodness over evil, Love over sin, Belief over unbelief, Light over darkness...
When we begin our day and offer it to God in the humility of consecrating ourselves to Mary - offering everything to her - we are gaining a great victory on the battlefield of our minds - where the lies of satan often bombard us in our inmost selves...

“No one in the world can change Truth.
What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.
The real conflict is the inner conflict.
Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: Good and Evil, Sin and Love.
And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?”
St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!

In Today's video teaching I further address the Importance of our Consecration to Jesus through Mary.
God is sending Mary to us as our Vanquisher of Evil. She is the Headcrusher of Satan and in and through and with her we will be saved from the evil in which we live:

Action:
1. Read through the accompanying pictures and the extraordinary wisdom of St. Maximilian and St. Louis below if possible.
2. Continue to choose to enter more deeply into the daily prayer program (below) at least in this way:
Ponder and pray the Our Father today and pray the Joyful Mysteris of the Rosary - while praying for the grace to listen, to hear and respond to God as Mary does.
Praying
also for the grace to surrender whatever is keeping me from responding
fully - in and through and with Mary’s love and help.
Daily Prayer Program for these 33 Days:
It
is important to make a commitment to strive to pray more deeply, more
intensely and with more of your heart during these days of preparation.
Here are some guidelines and suggestions for how to live these days.
Pray about how you can grow in each of these areas listed below and
while living out this prayer program it is especially important to
Trust in the Truth and Supernatural Reality of God’s Presence within each of them
1. Sacraments
• LIVE Grace and Renew our Baptism - renounce sin and Satan
• Mass and the Eucharist the Center of our lives
• Confession frequently
2. Scripture - Pray and Internalize it daily
• To Jelena: “I’m going to reveal a spiritual secret to you:
if you want to be stronger than evil, make yourself a plan of personal
prayer. Take a certain time in the morning, read a text from Holy
Scripture, anchor the Divine word in your heart, and strive to live it
during the day, particularly during the moment of trials. In this way,
you will be stronger than evil.” (Our Lady of Medjugorje, April 19,
1984)
• Rosary – With and in Mary, contemplating Scripture and the mysteries of God
3. Fill mind with wisdom of Mary and the Saints
• God is sending Mary to earth for she is the Crusher of Satan. Listen to her words.
• St. John Paul II – example of life given over – Totus Tuus
• St. Maximilian Kolbe – Militia Immaculata every soul consecrated to Mary will save the world
• St. Louis de Montfort – Mary will form the greatest saints
who ever lived – easiest shortest most sure way to sanctity
• St. Mother Teresa and many more
