You wrote “My priest usually rounds off the homily by pointing out that, had I the faintest idea how much my life would change if I really gave my heart to God, I would probably run screaming from the church.” That I know a bit about and it’s true. Further, had I known how consecrating myself totally to Mary would upend my life—all for the good—I wonder if I would have done it. Giving ourselves to God takes an incredible amount of trust.

It costs nothing, is freely given, is infinitely abundant, and helps get us to Heaven.
