March 22, 2026·29 min·2 clips

In a few days, participants will receive consecration to Jesus through Mary's Immaculate Heart.

The episode opens with a greeting to participants in the consecration journey, noting that the day of formal consecration to Jesus through Mary is approaching. A brief review of Day 30 recaps the teachings of Saint Maximilian Kolbe through three key words: Mystery, Militia, and Love. The speaker describes Kolbe's teaching that the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit is deeper than any human union, that the Militia concept represents total surrender for God's glory, and that Love means total dependence on Mary's intercession. A prayer of offering follows, citing several sayings of Jesus. The main content of Day 31 then begins with the teachings of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, organized around three words: Seed, Heart, and Alliance. Under Seed, the speaker presents Teresa's teaching that Mary was present at Calvary and heard Jesus cry 'I have thirst,' understanding its depth more fully than any other person. Mary is described as the model of immediate response to Jesus's longing, and participants are invited to ask her to teach them to understand his thirst. Under Heart, the speaker explains two prayers Teresa used in her spirituality. The first prayer, 'Lend me your heart,' asks Mary to give the petitioner her Immaculate Heart so they can love Jesus with Mary's perfect love rather than their own imperfect love. The second prayer, 'Take me into your pure heart,' asks to be drawn inside Mary's heart to please Jesus through, in, and with Mary. The speaker describes this second prayer as the deepest dimension of Teresa's consecration. The Heart section also covers Teresa's contemplative practice of the daily examination of conscience, modeled on Mary's habit of meditating on God's actions in her life, as a form of daily gratitude. Under Alliance, the speaker reads twelve reciprocal pairs of duties between Mary and the consecrated soul. Mary's duties include donating her spirit and heart, possessing and protecting the soul, inspiring, guiding, and enlightening, sharing her prayer life, taking charge of sanctification, managing all that happens to the soul, sharing her virtues, attending to spiritual and material needs, promising union of hearts, purifying the soul, exercising freedom to dispose of the soul's prayers and graces, and having total freedom over the soul. The corresponding human duties include total surrender, absolute dependence, receptivity to the Holy Spirit, faithfulness to prayer, full trust in Mary's intercession, acceptance of all that comes from her, imitation of her virtues, constant recourse to her in all circumstances, remembering her presence, purity of intention, being worthy of the graces received through her, and entry into her Heart to share her inner life. The episode closes with an exhortation to meditate on these twelve steps and a prayer dedicating the day to the three words.
