Sister : The priest said something like “try to cry this week”
Guest: I think people are starting to realize that Easter really begins today, and they are curious to see what they’re missing.
Are you familiar with True Devotion?
Apr 1 2012, 7:40 PM
Guest.: no, but I have heard of St Louis
Sister : There is a consecration you make to the Blessed Mother with much preparation. Blessed John Paul 11 was very devoted to this form of devotion
Guest.: is it the thirty day devotion?
Apr 1 2012, 7:42 PM
Sister : Yes, or 33 days something like that
Guest: Some folks up at St Angela’s in Brea just did that and were consecrated at Mass one day
Sister I did it once but did not repeat it annually
It is beautiful.
Guest: I’m not sure what all it entails, but I do know it’s a serious vow, not to be made lightly
