Hundreds Prepare to Consecrate on the Feast of the Assumption

This week hundreds of people are preparing to begin 33 Days to Morning Glory and to consecrate themselves to Jesus through Mary on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15. If you are one of those people, wether you are doing it on your own, or with a group, we'd love to hear from you!

"Mary is not only an example for the whole Church in the exercise of divine worship but is also, clearly, a teacher of the spiritual life for individual Christians." (Catechism of the Catholic Church no. 2030.) 

Please leave a comment below and may Our Lady shower you in graces throughout your preparation for consecration.

My family is doing 33 Days To Morning Glory in preparation to Consecrate and Reconsecrate to Jesus through Mary on the Feast of Assumption(A group at my parish consecrated on the Feast of the Annunciation along with all of you who did the Hearts Afire Pilot and I reconsecrated on my own on the Feast of the Visitation). Consecrating on the Feast of the Assumption will have special meaning for my family. Kelly, I love the picture you included on the Hearts Afire website, Our Lady of Grace. We have a picture of Our Lady of Grace hanging in our home which I found at a church rummage sale a few years ago, it was "hiding" behind a couple other pictures and Mary led me to this one. I new immediately it was for our home but I didn't know why yet. I didn't really know the full meaning of this image or the complete story of Our Lady of Grace, just parts of it. This lead me to research the original story of Our Lady of Grace and I became aware of the many connections our Lady had already made in my life and the reason for finding the picture to hang in our home became crystal clear. This was pure grace! She graces our home and continues to pour out her graces. We have to remember to go to her. Her presence is a reminder that she always brings us to her Son, Jesus. With that, she tells us to "Do whatever He tells you" which is the reason why we need all the graces she bestows upon us. By the way, she lead me, and now my family to Hearts Afire! ....and I am VERY GRATEFUL!
I am looking forward to reading other Mary Stories on this site.
All For Jesus Through Mary,

Our group of about 12 women begins our journey to Consecration to Jesus through Mary with the 33 Days to Morning Glory program next Friday, July 13th. Looking forward to our Consecration on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15th! Saw Fr. Michael Gaitley speak about the program on the Divine Mercy special on EWTN on Divine Mercy Sunday and have been anticipating this ever since. God bless all who will be journeying with us to the Feast of the Assumption.

Our group of about 30 from Transfiguration Catholic Church in Oakdale, Minnesota (and surrounding parishes) will begin our 33-day preparation to consecration to Jesus through Mary. Our meetings will begin Wednesday, July 11, with our official readings/ponderings beginning on Friday, July 13. We will make our formal consecration on the Solemnity of the Assumption. My daughter, son-in-law and I made our consecration on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, in May, and now we are blessed to be renewing it so soon and also sharing this beautiful devotion with others.

A group of just under 30 people is preparing for consecration on the Feast of the Assumption here in Cincinnati at St. Gertrude parish. What a blessing. Our lady works wonders! Thank you, thank you at HAPP for making this possible, so accessible, and so easy to manage. You have truly provided a gift to us.

We began our first group of 33 Days to Morning Glory in February and had about 75 men, women, and children consecrate their lives to our Lady on the feast of the Annunciation. Our second group, 30 more, consecrateed themselves on the feast of the Visitation. Now again, we have a group of about 20 who will consecrate themselves on the feast of the Assumption here at St. Joeseph's Parish in W. St. Paul. Our Lady is so beautiful and helpful on this journey. It is so freeing to know she will perfect and add to our prayers and offerings, making them perfect for our Lord!. How she helps us grow in holiness... I have heard some amazing stories of convertions from some who have made this consecration and are now living it by daily renewal and prayers to our Mother. What hope and confidence we have in her help! We recommend it to everyone. Blessings!
