I, a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet, humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property.
After we acknowledge Mary as our mother, queen, and refuge, we present ourselves to her in humility. In order to fully live out our consecration we must not only recognize her, but we react to this knowledge through the giving of ourselves. Consecration to Mary is not only a gift - Mary to us from Christ on the cross - but it is also a responsibility: "...he took her into his home."
Have I taken Mary into my home? Have I adopted her way of being a disciple?
Have I seriously worked to accept Christ's gift from the cross?
Have I seriously done my part to make myself a gift?
What part of me have I reserved for myself and not given it wholly?
Which of my possessions distract me from my vocation to be holy?
What are some ways I can more fully live my consecration to Mary?
