        TO ADORE OUR LORD!

The Franciscan Handmaids of the Immaculate seek daily to draw closer to Our Lord.  Adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament is fundamental to Our spiritual life as we seek to conform our hearts unto His.  Additionally, praying the Liturgy of the Hours, the rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Sorrows, we place ourselves in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, asking Her to bring us closer to Her Son.

THREE MORE THOUGHTS ON MARIAN CONSECRATION

1.  When we surrender to her and we consecrate ourselves to Her, we set ourselves apart for God.  She will then have free reign to guide us and lead us on our pilgrimage to our heavenly homeland.

2.  She brings special gifts for souls consecrated to Her because they are open to her and willing to receive her graces.

3.  Where Jesus is Mary is and where the Son is, the Mother is.   Devotion to Mary brings the soul to a new dimension of the interior life as it grows in union with the Blessed Trinity.  Can we adore Our Lord on Calvary without recognizing the presence of His Mother as She adores and compassionates Her Crucified Son?  The soul who stands at Calvary under Our Lady’s mantle begins to grow exponentially and will receive new insights and abundant graces.  The nature of a mother is to attend to the needs of her children.  The Most Holy Immaculate Mother, our spiritual Mother, perfectly attends to every detail of our spiritual life.  The more we surrender to her, the greater the wonders she bestows on our souls and the deeper the relationship with Her Son.  For how can the most holy, perfect and tender Mother not give the best gift, Jesus Christ, to her children?    Ave Maria!

Consecration to Our Lady brings an abundance of graces.

Three Considerations on Marian                     
              Consecration          

1.  Our Lady told Lucia at Fatima that Jesus wishes to establish devotion to Her Immaculate Heart.  Beginning with ourselves, Consecration to Her will help her to conquer the world for the Kingdom of Christ – where Love reigns.

2.  To Jesus through Mary – Jesus came to mankind through Mary and He wishes that we go to Him through Her.  As in the Old Testament, people would seek the king’s favor by going to His Mother who, at that time, was the Queen. 

3.  Mary is our spiritual Mother – Mother of our interior life.  She will stoke the small flame of our love for Jesus so that we may burn with greater love for our Redeemer, Savior, our most High God for the greater glory of God and for the salvation of souls.
