Many Popes have recognized it as an inspiring devotion to protect and perfect us

HAVERTOWN, PA (November 7, 2011) - "We intend to entrust to our heavenly Mother the entire human family, with its problems, its anxieties, its legitimate aspirations and ardent hopes."

The above is not from St. Louis de Montfort, who first formulated what we now call the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Rather, it is from Pope Paul VI, in a speech that closed the third session of Vatican II on Nov. 21, 1964. Marian devotees and other faithful Catholics are well aware of Blessed Pope John Paul II's consecration to Our Lady. He has never been alone. Popes throughout the ages have displayed the same devotion to our Blessed Mother, and have urged Catholics to heed God's call to His Mother's Immaculate Heart.

In his Apostolic Exhortation Signum Magnum, delivered on May 13, 1967 - the 50th anniversary of Mary's first apparition to the three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal, Pope Paul VI urged Catholics to renew personally the consecration to Mary that Pope Pius XII proclaimed for the whole world on Oct. 13, 1942 - the 25th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima.

"We exhort all the sons of the Church to renew personally their consecration to the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of the Church," Paul VI said, "and to live personally this noble act of veneration through a life increasingly in conformity with the Divine Will, in a spirit of filial service, and devoted imitation of their Heavenly Queen."

"We know that the Total Consecration is a compelling way of life that provides protection and leads to perfection as we give ourselves totally to Jesus Christ through his Blessed Mother," said Anthony Mullen, executive director of the Children of the Father Foundation and the MyConsecration.org website. "As we complete the 33-day devotion, we develop the certitude that Mary, as our Mother and Queen of Heaven and Earth, leads us closer and closer to her Son every moment of our lives."

The Catholic Church recently commemorated the 94th anniversary of "The Day the Sun Danced" - the miracle of Oct. 13, 1917, that completed Our Lady's apparitions to three peasant children in Fatima, Portugal. One of them, Blessed Sr. Lucia dos Santos, later had a vision of Jesus during which He said that He wanted devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be next to devotion to His Sacred Heart.

"The driving force behind our efforts to spread the Total Consecration comes from Jesus' words," Mullen said. "He has asked his Church to come to him through his Blessed Mother, and St. Louis de Montfort developed this devotion as a result of his own personal discernment of Jesus' call to elevate devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart."
