Summary

"'Slaves of Mary?' Are you kidding me?" That was my first (second, third...tenth) reaction to the words of St. Louis de Montfort in True Devotion to Mary, the classic text on our topic. The whole idea of consecrating yourself to anyone other than Jesus Christ made zero sense to me. Not anymore. I now understand and completely embrace the whole idea of consecration to Our Lady. And I can tell you from experience that it's life-changing. It can change yours, too. So join me for a conversation on the deep power and beauty of Marian consecration with Joshua Mazrin, Director of Evangelization for the Diocese of Venice. Among other things, we're going to discuss: Why Protestants automatically reject Marian consecration as hereticalThe deep theology underlying Marian consecrationHow Scripture lays the foundation for Marian consecrationOur Lady's intimate relationship with the Holy SpiritThe connection between the Immaculate Conception and Marian consecrationHow Marian consecration is related to Baptism Have a blessed Advent! Ave Maria! Matthew P.S. I'm leading a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Jim Caviezel, star of The Passion of the Christ! We'll also be joined by Fr. Don Calloway and John Michael Talbot! It's going to be epic! CLICK HERE for details! P.P.S. If you'd rather go to Italy, I'm heading there on pilgrimage, too! Join me in March 2019 for a time of deep spiritual renewal and amazing adventure in Rome, Assisi, Orvieto, LaVerna, and much, much more! CLICK HERE for details!

0:22.2	the lowest state of His handmaiden.
0:25.0	For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed, for He who is mighty has
0:31.4	done great things for me, and holy is His name.
0:36.4	That's the opening song of praise from Luke 1, otherwise known as the Magnificat, and
0:42.1	it's a great opening passage for a great discussion we're going to have on Mary and Consecration. So welcome to the Art of Catholic. Now
0:48.7	maybe I should call it the Art of Very Catholic since we're going to talk about
0:51.8	Mary and Consecration because this is a topic I wouldn't have touched with a
0:55.9	10-foot pole 20 years ago, maybe even 15 years ago. Now I'm all over it because
1:02.8	a true devotion to our lady will rock your world.
1:06.4	But this, this art of Catholic is the podcast that dives into the truth, beauty, and goodness

1:44.6	those who have been Catholics since before they were even conceived have confessed
