Today’s prayer:  “Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Make me pure in body and spirit and help me to die to myself.”  

Questions for Day 8: Are you ready to ask Mary for her intercession and guidance in seeking holiness?  Can you think of examples in your life where you acted with purity of intention? Finally. St. Maximilian teaches us how we must die to self in order to live for the glory of God.  What aspects of your personal self will need to die and how can Mary and the Holy Spirit help you?

Today’s prayer:  “Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Help me to praise you for such a quick, easy and secure path to holiness.”    

Questions for Day 7:  We must depend on supernatural help for bearing our crosses in life.  Do you have a list of crosses? How have you asked for supernatural help up to now?  We’ve heard the term “offer it up” for another person or some special intention.  How will this Marian consecration help with this aspect of your spiritual efforts?  Finally, “security” - we look for it everywhere: alarms for our homes and vehicles, online passwords, monitoring our credit cards, and so on.  Those protect physical life - what about Marian consecration gives you the most comfort and security?

Today’s prayer:  “Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Help me to give great glory to God by giving all I have to Mary.”    

Questions:  How is God teaching me to be generous? How have I taught others to be generous?  Do we trust Mary?  The way to learn to trust anyone is getting to know that person. What have you done to get to know Mary? Finally, as the first week comes to a close, what concerns or apprehensions do you still have?  Fear of the loss of control of your spiritual life by giving all to Mary? At what level is your self-concern interfering with your desire to draw close to Mary?

Today’s prayer:  “Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Give Me the Grace to reject Satan and follow Christ more closely.”   

Day 3 questions:  Mary gave her whole life to doing God’s will and continues to do so from Heaven.  Ask yourself - “To what, if anything, have I given myself fully in the past?” Do we know what it means to “give myself fully”? St. Louis de Montfort says our Baptism is the most significant day of our lives.  Can you name some other significant days in your life? What relationships are reflected in those days?  Why does our relationship with God make our baptismal day so important? Finally, the humility of Mary humbles Satan even more than the divine power.  Are we ready to imitate Mary’s humility? Which of our friends or family do we find it the easiest to be humble?

Today’s prayer:  “Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Prepare me to give myself fully to living out this true and solid devotion.”    

Questions for Day 2:  In order for Mary, along with the Holy Spirit, to bring us to Jesus...we need to let go of always trying to do everything ourselves.  What is the first thing that you need to become detached from? Will it be difficult to detach? Will it take time? St. Pope John Paul II read St. Louis’ book “True Devotion to Mary” and called it a decisive turning point in his life.  What one or two books (besides the Bible) have had that kind of influence on your life?  Finally, no less than six Popes were influenced by the teachings of St. Louis de Montfort.  If you had your choice of someone to influence, who would it be and why?

QUESTIONS:  Consider the place where you grew up and your birth family. How did that contribute to...or provide obstacles to...your growth in holiness and your desire to belong more completely to the Blessed Mother?  Consider your motives to begin this retreat with us - have you asked Mary to start a divine fire in your heart for Jesus?  What obstacles might she find there that would interfere? How will you overcome those obstacles?
