In Apparitione Beatæ Mariæ Virginis

The Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes

Our Lady of Lourdes (1877). Virgilio Tojetti (1851–1901).

Today in 2019 I made a consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the first time, using the method of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673–1716).

I renewed the consecration on the feast of the Immaculate Conception on the 8th of December 2019, including this time the members of my family.

Thereafter, the consecration has been renewed formally each year on the feast of the Annuntiation, and on a daily basis using the Totus Tuus prayer below.

Totus tuus ego sum

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:

Ad Jesum per te Maria.

Laudetur Jesus Christus et Maria Immaculata. Amen.

The Virgin of Tenderness. >12th century.

SUB tuum præsidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genitrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen. 

Totus tuus ego sum

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:

Ad Jesum per Mariam.

He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. They that explain me shall have life everlasting. [Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) xxiv. 30-3]
