I just returned from School Mass where our pastor prayed the full Consecration of Russia prayer. I wasn't prepared for it. It was beautiful, sad, and powerful. It reminded me of the times in the Old Testament when the Israelites repented and returned to God. I urge you this day to pray this prayer with your family & friends. Here is an excerpt with the a link to the full prayer below:
Today we remember the Annunciation. Let us proclaim "fiat" to the Lord at every moment of our lives just as Mary, Our Mother, did! Many of the great saints of the 19th and 20th century had a strong devotion to Mary. Her example influenced every aspect of their lives, and this was only possible by developing a relationship with her. For me, it was through the rosary and reading the Mystical City of God that I got to know Mary. Through that relationship I got to know her son, Jesus Christ. If you are sick, if you are lost, if you are lonely, if you are discerning a major life decision... CALL YOUR MAMA!
