What is Consecration?
In Catholic theology, consecration sets a person, place, or object apart for a sacred purpose, such as the transformation of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ during the Eucharist. Additionally, individuals, like bishops at ordination, undergo consecration to signify a permanent commitment to serve God and His Church.
What is Marian Consecration?
Marian Consecration is the dedication of oneself to Jesus through Mary, entrusting one’s spiritual journey to her guidance and intercession. Rooted in the teachings of saints like St. Louis de Montfort, it is a pathway to grow in holiness and deepen one’s relationship with Christ under Mary’s motherly care.
Fall Retreat
