There's a thread on here somewhere that marks out the differences. When I have more time, I'll try and do a search and see if I can find it.

The Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word:

"Each year, as a community, we renew our consecration to the Immaculate Mother of God, using the method of St. Louis Marie de Montfort — including the thirty-three day preparation."

Are the Benedictines that you link to above an approved community? As a side note, they pray the rosary three times (once in Latin -yay!) every day -wow!

I have not made this consecration (I am a devotee of St. Louis Marie de Montfort's method), but this community is AWESOME (CMSWR Members) and they are totally devoted to spreading Marian Consecration via St. Maximilian Kolbe's method:

As a side note, they wear one of my FAVORITE habits -I love the color!:

Bump! (I'm trying to remind myself to reread "True Devotion.")

Next Sunday a bunch of young adults in my diocese will make the Consecration at the convent of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara (who already got a lot of attention in this thread ). I'll be among them.

At the moment I just have a deal with our Mother that if I accidentally happen to do something right for a change, she gets to distribute the rewards as she sees fit (which saves me a lot of bookkeeping: "this was for the most lonely soul in purgatory, this for the second-loneliest...")

How wonderful! It's Pentecost too and, I just realized, the anniversary of my First Holy Communion. I will pray for you! Is there a good thread around here about the Servants? I know very, very little of them but I read that they are working on a project to translate the works of Cornelio Fabro, a recent Thomist scholar, which is the kind of work that sounds fascinating to me. (The other question is, what are they translating them [i]into[/i]?)

[VeniteAdoremus]

There should be a thread

And what they're translating him into... who knows? The sisters in our diocese all speak Spanish, Italian, English and Dutch. And one of them also French, I believe. ;D

[tnavarro61]

we wrote a letter to the Friends of Our Lady apostolate. A member of our lay community introduced the consecration to us and it seems very beautiful after visiting this thread!
