Day 15 of 33 Day Consecration to Jesus through Mary St Louis de Montfort's Marian Devotion

This is Day 15 of our journey, Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Over these 33 days, we'll follow St. Louis de Montfort's classic spiritual preparation for total consecration to Jesus through his Blessed Mother. Each day, I'll read through the preparations and Bible reading for the day, and sing that day's hymns (like Ave Maris Stella) and prayers. I'll sing in the traditional Latin Gregorian chant, with English subtitles, so you can join in these ancient Catholic prayers. Here is Day 15 of our Marian Consecration: Day 15 Purpose: To Obtain Knowledge Of Yourself Prayers, examinations, reflection, acts of renouncement of our own will, of contrition for our sins, of contempt of self, all performed at the feet of Mary, for it is from her that we hope for light to know ourselves. It is near her, that we shall be able to measure the abyss of our miseries without despairing. We should employ all our pious actions in asking for a knowledge of ourselves and contrition of our sins: and we should do this in a spirit of piety. During this period, we shall consider not so much the opposition that exists between the spirit of Jesus and ours, as the miserable and humiliating state to which our sins have reduced us. Moreover, the True Devotion being an easy, short, sure and perfect way to arrive at that union with Our Lord which is Christlike perfection, we shall enter seriously upon this way, strongly convinced of our misery and helplessness. But how attain this without a knowledge of ourselves? Readings Luke 13:1—5: Repent or Perish True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary , #81 and #82: We Need Mary in order to Die to Ourselves Prayers: ** Litany of the Holy Spirit ** ** Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Litany of Loreto) ** ** Ave Maris Stella** Ave maris stella, Dei Mater alma, atque semper Virgo, felix caeli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore, funda nos in pace, mutans Hevae nomen. Solve vincula reis, profer lumen caecis mala nostra pelle, bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem: sumat per te preces, qui pro nobis natus, tulit esse tuus. Virgo singularis, inter omnes mitis, nos culpis solutos, mites fac et castos. Vitam praesta puram, iter para tutum: ut videntes Iesum semper collaetemur. Sit laus Deo Patri, summo Christo decus, Spiritui Sancto, tribus honor unus. Amen. * Here's the playlist where you can find each day's content:    • Day 1 of Total Consecration to Jesus throu...   Subscribe to follow the full 33-day series and pray along each day. This preparation follows the exact structure outlined in St. Louis de Montfort’s classic work, “True Devotion to Mary,” a cornerstone of Marian spirituality in the Catholic tradition. St. Louis de Montfort’s method of Total Consecration is over 300 years old and has been recommended by saints such as St. John Paul II, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. Teresa of Calcutta. This devotion has shaped some of the greatest Marian saints of the Church. Drawing close to Mary helps us draw closer to Christ. As St. Louis de Montfort teaches, Mary forms us gently, humbly, and perfectly in the likeness of her Son.
