Consecration The first gesture we should make every morning is prayer. One of consecration to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Imitate Mary. If we truly love someone, then we want to get to know them better, follow them more closely, and ultimately imitate their good qualities which we call virtue. St. Louis de Montfort in his classic True Devotion to Mary offers us a list of the ten principal virtues of Mary. Imitate them and you will be on the highway to holiness: His profound humility,
living faith, blind obedience, incessant prayer, constant self-denial, superior purity, ardent love, heroic patience, angelic kindness, and heavenly wisdom. Temptations? Our life is a constant battle zone, until we die! We should not fight alone against the devil, the flesh and the world. Rather, in the heat of temptation, when all seems to be lost, he invokes the Holy Name of Mary; pray the Hail Mary! If done, all the powers of hell will be defeated.
Mary and the liturgical year. Know the powerful presence of Mary in the Mystical Body of Christ which is the Church. Know above all the presence of Mary in the liturgical year: the masses. The final purpose of the Holy Mass is to praise and worship God the Father, through the offering of God the Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit. However, Mary occupies a special place in the liturgical year. Marian Apostle. Become an ardent, fervent and passionate apostle of Mary. One of the most famous modern Marian saints is St. Maximilian Kolbe. His love for Mary could not be contained. One of the apostolic methods used by Kolbe was to spread devotion to the Immaculate Conception through the Miraculous Medal (Medal of the Immaculate Conception).
The Most Holy Rosary
The Most Holy Rosary. In Fatima, Our Lady appeared six times to the Little Shepherds: Lucia, Jacinta and Francesco. In every single apparition, Our Lady insisted on the prayer of the Most Holy Rosary.
St. John Paul II in his document on the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary he insisted, begged, that the whole world pray the Holy Rosary for the salvation of the family and for peace in the world.
The famous priest of the Rosary, Father Patrick Peyton, said concisely: "The family that prays together remains united" ... and "A world in prayer is a world at peace". Why not obey the new saint - Saint John Paul II? Why not obey the requests of the Mother of God, Our Lady of Fatima? If this is done, the family will be saved and there will be the peace that the human heart so desires.
