This week we complete the four weeks of readings and prayers leading up to our consecration to Jesus through Mary. I am so very proud of those of you who have dedicated yourselves to this parish retreat. Congratulations on remaining faithful amidst the challenges that have tried to disrupt or discourage spending time with Jesus and Mary. Now we begin our review and immediate preparation for our Marian Consecration. Please follow the order of the retreat. Next Saturday and Sunday we will make our consecration at the Sunday Masses. Please remove the consecration prayer from the back inside cover of the booklet and bring it with you to Mass next weekend. This will be your last opportunity to go to confession during the retreat. Your consecration will bear much more fruit if you have sought out the mercy of Jesus in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If you will be away from the parish on December 7th and 8th you may make your consecration on your own by reciting the formula found in the booklet on December 8th. Fr. Tim
