SPIRITUALITY: HOW TO EXPLAIN IT!
CONSECRATION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY

7. HOW TO INSTRUCT OTHERS AND TO BRING THEM TO A COMMITMENT TO BE WITH MARY AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

By consecrating their life, death and eternity to Jesus’ Sacred Heart through Mary’s Immaculate Heart in the power of the Cross, that is, in the power of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, and in the Holy Spirit’s flame of love, in obedience to the Father’s Divine Will and for His honour and glory.
