For those doing the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary on the Purification

[sarahraphael]

it talks about wearing a chain somewhere on you and never taking it off............  how do you get through airport security?  Serious question.  :-)

The chain is a totally optional sign of the devotion, which isn't often practiced anymore. I do have one friend who chose to do it, she wears a small chain on her wrist. She does, however, take it off if she's flying.

I bought a rosary bracelet to commemorate consecrating. I don't wear it all the time but it is a good reminder when I do, both of my pledge to Mary and to pray the rosary!

1st day of prep is today, guys!

Thanks!  My wife and I are saying the prayers together after the kids go to bed (with 3 mo George in my arms) at night. 

Day ... 1!  oops.  :-)

This book is pure gold:

That book really is a good one! Very extensive.

Slightly OT, but I thought this CD might be appreciated by consecrators:

http://www.amazon.com/Ave-Maria-Gregorian-Chant/dp/B0000015JA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325396664&sr=8-1

It's a really beautiful collection of chants in honor of Our Lady.
