March 20, 2026·24 min·2 clips

A prayer invoking saints sets the stage for a 28-day journey of consecration to Jesus through Mary.

This episode is Day 28 of a structured 33-day Marian consecration program titled 'Consagración a Jesús por María 2026.' The host opens with a prayer invoking saints including San Luis María Griñón de Montfort, San Maximiliano Kolbe, Santa Teresa de Calcuta, and San José. The host recaps Day 27 from the previous episode before introducing the Day 28 reading, describing it as the second part of 'Entregarse a María' (Surrendering to Mary). The host notes that this is nearly the final reading from John Paul II within the consecration program's structure. The theological centerpiece is a homily John Paul II delivered at Fatima in 1982, exactly one year after being shot in St. Peter's Square. In that visit, the Pope thanked God and the Virgin Mary for his survival and offered a homily that the host describes as a rich source of theology on Marian consecration. The host summarizes three aspects of divine mercy as taught by John Paul II: it is God's limit on evil; it is symbolized by the pierced side of Christ; and its devotional expression is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The host then connects these aspects to the theology of Marian consecration, quoting John Paul II's statement that consecration to the Immaculate Heart means drawing near through Mary's intercession to the source of merciful life born at Golgotha. The host explains that Mary leads believers to the pierced side of Christ from which blood and water flowed, the ongoing source of grace and mercy. Consecration to Mary is further described as returning the world with all its sufferings to the Savior's heart and to the source of redemption. The host notes that John Paul II stated Mary is more conscious of the power of redemption than any other heart in the cosmos. The Pope's homily calls believers not only to conversion but to allow Mary to guide them back to the source of mercy. The host reads the final act of consecration from John Paul II, in which the Pope unites himself and the Church before Mary's Immaculate Heart to Christ's own self-consecration for the world. The prayer draws on John 3:16 and John 17:19 to frame the call to self-offering. The host closes with a daily prayer to the Holy Spirit to continue guiding the believer through Mary toward Jesus.
