33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It- Yourself Retreat in Preparation for Marian Consecration by Michael E. Gaitley

3.0

This is a good introduction to Marian consecration if you have never done a consecration before. And I appreciate that it’s more accessible that Saint Louis de Montfort’s consecration. However, while I think de Montfort’s consecration is too intense for most people (I’ve heard it compared to a reading and prayer marathon), I think that Fr. Gaitley’s consecration is not intense enough. I do think you always lose something when you try to make it easier and more accessible. I appreciate that it takes less time, however I also don’t feel as ready for consecration day. I suggest maybe pairing these readings with de Montfort’s prayer regimen. Next year when consecration day is coming up I’m going to do some research into other options.
