Today is the day—A New Beginning in Grace!

Congratulations! You made it! Today is a day of profound joy and eternal significance — the day you entrust your entire life to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. After 33 days of prayer, reflection, and preparation, you now make your Act of Consecration, sealing a covenant of love with the Mother who loves you perfectly and desires only to bring you deeper into the Heart of Christ.

Fr. Gaitley reminds us that consecration is not the end — it’s the beginning. It marks a new way of living: no longer for ourselves, but like Mary, SET APART FOR JESUS, with her as our surest and most loving guide. Your "yes" today echoes Mary’s own fiat — and heaven rejoices at your surrender.

From this day forward, Mary takes full responsibility for helping you grow in holiness. Every joy, every sorrow, every prayer and work can now bear fruit beyond what you can imagine, because it has been freely placed in her hands. Through her, the Holy Spirit will form Christ more fully in you.

Fr. Gaitley encourages us to renew this consecration regularly — especially on Marian feast days — and to live it daily through trust, prayer, and love. Remember: Mary is gentle, wise, and faithful. She will not fail you.

Rejoice today! You have chosen the narrow way of love. You are hers — totally — and through her, totus tuus, you are Christ’s. This is your new path, and it is full of hope.
