It’s that time of the year again!
Beginning on September 1, 2014, I will once again be leading the 33 day preparation for Total Consecration To Jesus through Mary on my nightly BlogTalkRadio show. This is the fourth consecutive year that I’ve been leading this devotion and I expect it to be our best year ever. Over the past three years, we have helped over 2,000 individuals consecrate their lives in this manner and many lives (including my own) have been completely transformed!
What is Total Consecration? Our friends at the My Consecration apostolate have put together a short video explaining the details:
Interested? Want to find out more? Here’s all you have to do:
STEP 1 – Sign up. (NOTE: If you are already on my email mailing list, you can skip this step)
Enter your email address below and press the ?Join Now? button and you?ll be placed on our email mailing list. You?ll then receive an email (from me), asking you to confirm your registration by clicking on a link. Don?t skip this step! You need to do this in order to be placed on the mailing list. I?ll be sending out periodic emails to provide more information and guide you through the process. I WILL NOT share your email address with anyone!
STEP 2 – Get your FREE copy of Consecration To Jesus Through Mary.
My dear friends at the My Consecration apostolate are offering a free Total Consecration kit, which includes a copy of the book “Consecration To Jesus Through Mary”. To receive your kit, simply click HERE and register. This will provide you with the materials that you need to participate in Total Consecration. Although we work closely with each other, My Consecration and Following The Truth are 2 separate apostolates. Therefore, you also need to register with them in order to receive your free book. Please note that the offer of a free kit applies only to residents of the US or Canada. While MyConsecration.org provides their materials free of charge, I would encourage you to make a donation to their apostolate if you are able to do so.
STEP 3 – Tune in to the Following The Truth radio program at 8 PM Eastern on September 1)
Although the actual 33 day preparation period begins on Thursday, September 4th, I?ll spend the first three days of that week discussing Total Consecration and providing more information about the process. I?ve led over 2,000 people through Total Consecration over the past 3 years and I?m looking for another big year in 2014. Whether you?re renewing your consecration (like me) or making it for the first time, we?ll walk together over the 33 day preparation period. In addition to my nightly radio show, I?ll be available by email to answer your questions and/or encourage you.
So, get ready and be prepared for your life to change in some BIG ways. Jesus is waiting to get to know you better and Mary is ready to take you by the hand and lead you to Him. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
?The more we honor the Blessed Virgin, the more we honor Jesus Christ, because we honor Mary only that we may the more perfectly honor Jesus, since we go to her only as the way by which we are to find the end we are seeking, which is Jesus.? (St. Louis de Montfort)
Gary, I am so happy that you are doing this!!!!!!!!! I read true devotion to mary when I was 7 – and got infused knowledge to understand it! When I entered the convent -even the srs didn’t get it–then st john paul 2 was elected- taking his motto–what a grace-20 yrs later i would be in Rome alot for Priests–and had the Grace to be with the Pope 16 times!- What you are doing is great esp at this Time!! Thank you!! I will be praying for you and your family–In the Heart of Mary -sr louis marie
How can we do this with you if we cant always be there at 8PM…can we access the program on your web at a time when we are available ???
Hi Richard – All of the programs will be available as podcasts. You will be able to download or listen to them whenever you want, free of charge. You can access the programs directly from my BlogTalkRadio page.
God Bless,
Gary
Help me understand…I don’t see September 1 as one of the available start dates…I don’t see any days in September listed.
For instance, I am beginning to reconsecrate myself today, because August 13 (at least on the website Fisheaters) will land my end date on September 15th, or Our Lady of Sorrows.
I thought you had to begin so you end on such a feast day? Thanks for doing this regardless sir. jeff
Hi Jeff – It’s recommended that you make your Total Consecration on a Marian feast day, but it’s not mandatory. However, we will be making our Total Consecration of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (Oct 7). This means that we officially start the process on September 4. The first three days will be used for some background information.
God Bless,
Gary
I was wondering, all the churches in our area are doing the 33 Days to Morning Glory consecration by Fr. Gaitley and the turnout has been amazing. I did St. Louis De Monforts many years ago and renewed mine with the 33 day version. While they are different, I was wondering what your opinion is of the new version. So many people have done it in our diocese and have received tremendous graces! Thank you for doing this! Our World needs it!
Hi Jan – We used the 33 Days book for last year’s consecration on the radio show and I thought it was excellent. I interviewed Fr. Mike Gaitley at the start of the 33 day period and he gave us a lot of insight into his book. This is the fourth year that I’ve been leading Total Consecration on my nightly show and each year I’ve used a different book. It helps to keep things fresh.
God Bless,
Gary
I made this consecration in high school privately after reading the book Our Kadys Slave the life of Monfort and several times over the years and thru the book the Glories of Mary a book from the Divi e Mercy Dhrine in Stockbridge Mass where I volunteer when arrangements allow due to beinmg Due to bring founder of Sanctuary House so requested by our lady to me in a vision in 1951 which my bishops okayed and us known to the Vatican, and helped by several clergy nuns and laity in my area.

I am going to be on vacation from mid September, overseas, I probably will not be able to access your radio show, will I be able to access it on line, or by email each day ?
Hi Anne – You will be able to listen to the show online (at my website) or through iTunes. Another possibility is to get the book and follow along each day on your vacation.
God Bless,
Gary
Just a heads-up for any Canadians who want to take advantage of the free kit offered by myconsecration.com. They only provide them to Americans, so you will have to look elsewhere for both the Total Consecration prep. booklet put forth by the Montfort Fathers and the Total Consecration book by St. Louis-Marie de Montfort. The second book is freely available on-line, just Google Total Consecration to Mary. The prep. book likely is available at any Catholic book store.
Gary, Tony Mullen and I are very happy to be able to assist you by providing free books for this Consecration at http://www.myconsecration.org/personal-request-form/.
Thank you, Ray. I’m grateful for the help that you and Tony have provided through the years!
God Bless,
Gary
How wonderful that Michael Brown is promoting this Consecration on http://www.spiritdaily.com.

I originally made the consecration privately using the Total Consecration book from Montfort Publications (orange cover) in 1991 and have renewed it several time over the years. I would like to do so again this year. Can I use this opportunity to renew with all those that are going to participate with you in the Total Consecration in September? Thanks for all you do to promote this devotion.
Thank you, Gary, for reminding me to renew my consecration to Jesus through Mary. I followed you last year using Fr. Gaitley’s book and LOVED it. I just ordered the new book through Ray Mooney (Thank you!!!!) and will look forward to renewing my consecration!!!! God bless you!!!!
Glad to see you’ll be renewing your Total Consecration, Helene. This year’s book uses a different approach that Fr. Gaitley’s book, but I think you’ll enjoy it!
God Bless,
Gary
