After 33 days of preparation, reflection, and self-discovery through the guidance of Mary and the Holy Spirit, the time has come to officially make the Act of Consecration.

1.Tomorrow, either fast, give alms, or offer a votive candle for the good of another (or all of the above); do some spiritual penance and approach consecration in the spirit of mortification.

2. Go to Confession. If you are not able, make an examination of conscience and an act of contrition with the intention to go to Confession as soon as you are able. Receive Communion with the intention of giving yourself to Jesus, as a slave of love, by the hands of Mary.

3. Pray the words of the consecration. Copy them and have them with you at church, read them after the Mass (in front of the tabernacle would be nice), and sign your copy of the Act of Consecration.
