Lent is fast approaching! We need to get ready to enter into Lent in order to benefit from all the graces the Lord intends to give to each of us and to the whole world. The Lord put it on my heart to encourage everyone to make the “Mary’s Mantle Consecration” on Easter Sunday.
This particular consecration to Our Lady of Guadalupe has 46 days of preparation due to the fact that the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has 46 stars on her mantle. Further, there happens to be 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. After the 46 days of preparation we will then make the consecration on Easter Sunday. This is a powerful devotion of transforming grace.
The preparation consists in three things:
(1) praying the rosary daily,
(2) fasting one day each week,
(3) Spending some time reflecting on the short meditation provided for each day.
Everything you need for this devotion is contained in your free copy of the “Mary’s Mantle Consecration” book which you can find in the vestibule of the church. ~ Fr. David
