Welcome to our 33 day Marian Consecration Retreat as we prayerfully anticipate the commencement of the Year of Mercy. Join us as we share the book 33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC.

Today's Reflection:

What a great mystery the Holy Spirit is!  A creation of eternal Love, a spouse to a remarkable woman, a Being that draws us into the wonder of Mary's motherhood and inspires us to give God our own "yes!"

This eternal Immaculate Conception gives us the gifts we need to appreciate Mary, the created Immaculate Conception.  Mary and the Holy Spirit are united with the same depth of love that unites husband and wife.  And when we welcome Mary into our hearts, we can be sure the Holy Spirit will want to be there, too.

To Ponder:

Do you often pray to the Holy Spirit?  Consider asking Mary's Spouse to join her in your heart the next time you embark upon a creative endeavor or face a challenge with your family.

Let Us Pray:

Oh, Mary, you give us so many ways to draw closer to your Son, Jesus.  Please help me remember to call on the Holy Spirit when I need inspiration and direction.
