What is Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (aka Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary)?
Total Consecration Jesus is an absolutely beautiful exercise to increase your ability to truly serve our Lord Jesus Christ. The basic premise initially set forth by St. Louis Marie de Montfort is simply that Jesus came into the world through Mary and that for us to always be assured of being close to Jesus, even closer than ever before, we should go through Mary.
Initially, this idea may seem strange to some. Why consecration? And why consecration through Mary? What does that even mean?
Consecration means to set aside for a sacred purpose. Mary’s life was set aside for the sole purpose of serving our Lord. By following her example, we, too, can completely give ourselves to Christ in a fundamental way that consecrates us to Him. We give our lives to Him in service and love.
Consecration to Jesus through Mary according to the method of St. Louis de Montfort is a method used by Pope John Paul II.
Why do this?
We consecrate ourselves in order to be more devoted to the Lord and His Blessed Mother. It helps us grow in holiness and increase our faith, hope, and love. It is a prayerful and focused method of drawing closer to Jesus than ever before.

Our Fatima Columbus group also strongly encourages you to consider completing a Consecration of your entire family. You can learn more about this at the Apostolate for Family Consecration.
