This is a Marian consecration that people don8217t want to see end. Healing miracles, reunited families, and Catholic conversions are resulting from this self-guided retreat. Mary8217s Mantle Consecration, endorsed by Archbishop Cordileone and Bishop Cotta, offers an outpouring of grace upon your life and loved ones. St. Pope John Paul II said that his consecration to Mary was a decisive turning point in my life.8221 It can be the same for you.Mary8217s Mantle Consecration comes to us in tumultuous times. Today it is important that we consecrate ourselves to the Mother of God8212entrusting our lives to her protection, guidance, and care, and inviting her to conform us to the likeness of her Son. There is so much need and brokenness in the world, in the Church, in our families, and in our hearts. By preparing for consecration through the power of the Rosary, a little fasting, and a two-minute reading of a beautiful daily meditation on a virtue or gift of the Holy Spirit (people8217s favorite part), we can expect heaven8217s help.This retreat is perfect for individuals, couples, families, groups and parishes. To dive even deeper into God8217s graces, a companion workbook, Mary8217s Mantle Consecration Prayer Journal, also offers quotes from saints, passages of Scripture, and insightful questions for reflection. Are you willing to do your part and give God a chance?Sample meditation from the 14th Chapter8212The Virtue of Meekness:Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for yourselves8221 (Matthew 11:29). Meekness is a virtue that Jesus alone inculcated, and which no ancient philosopher seems to have understood or recommended. Even our modern usage of meek8221 can be dominated by a sense of weakness, cowardice, or people-pleasing. In Jesus8217 mouth, it is not that. To be meek is to be a spiritual rock. In the evangelical sense, meekness is humility, resignation, submission to the Divine Will without murmuring or peevishness. It is mildness of temper, softness in dealing with others, and forbearance under difficulties, setbacks, and injuries. One who is meek is not easily provoked or irritated.By reason of being born into the world, we naturally create an illusion in our minds of who we are, a treasured lie for which we long, fight, and suffer. Depending upon our wounds and whether or not our self-image is praised or rejected, our moods travel from elation to depression and back again this can be the source of great emotional instability and pain. The meek person has fought to tame the roaring lion of the human ego, the source of his childish reactions and unreasonable attitudes8212the beast that seeks to glorify and defend itself at all costs.Our greatest human example of meekness is Our Lady. For her, the artifice of ego was never erected. It never claimed anything for itself, for it was dead. If Mary was praised, she gave all glory to God if she was calumniated, it meant nothing if she received food, she thanked God if she went hungry, she blamed no one, least of all her Lord.
