Consecration to Our Lady - II O Holy Sorrowful Mother of God, O Sweetest Virgin: I offer you my heart that you may keep it intact, like your Immaculate Heart. I offer you my intelligence, that it may conceive only thoughts of peace and goodness, of purity and truth. I offer you my will, that it may remain alive and generous in the service of God. I offer you my work, my pains, my sufferings, my anxieties, my tribulations and my tears, in my present and in my future to be presented by you to your Divine Son, for the purification of my life. Compassionate Mother, I take refuge in your Immaculate Heart, to calm the painful palpitations of my temptations, of my aridity, of my indifference and of my negligence. Hear me, O Mother, guide me, sustain me and defend me against all danger of soul and body, now and for all eternity. Amen.

"To find a model of what we should expect to see after a validly-performed Consecration, we should look no further than the tiny nation of Portugal. This small European country provides the evidence that a solemn consecration to the Immaculate Heart can place a nation under Our Lady’s protection." Portugal: Case Study of a Successful Consecration
Did You Know? An AI-powered teddy bear was pulled from the shelves after it was recorded telling children how to find and light matches – “hold the matchbook and strum it like a tiny guitar” – and even drifting into sexual roleplay and spanking. FoloToy’s Kumma bear also directed kids to knives and pills. Watchdogs are critically concerned that this isn’t a one-off, and warn that this could be an early warning of the dangers of exposing young people to AI tech in general. The toys are designed to be especially sticky, taking effective tech from social media apps, limiting parental controls, and quietly harvesting kids’ data. What on earth are we doing? It’s Not Just the Kumma Bear Consumer researchers at the Public Interest Research Group tested a range of AI toys, finding the Kumma bear the worst offender. It delivered detailed instructions on striking matches, and started explicit kink talk in extended conversations without first being prompted to do so. FoloToy responded by pausing …

May this Medal be for each one of us a sure sign of Thy affection for us and a constant reminder of our duties toward Thee.

Obtain for us, Thy children, the grace of a happy death; so that, in union with Thee, we may enjoy the bliss of Heaven forever. Amen.
HAPPY FEAST DAY! A blessed feast of OUR LADY of the MIRACULOUS MEDAL to you. Note: The Rite of Blessing and Imposing the Miraculous Medal (in English) can be found LINKED HERE. On November 27, 1830, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in her Daughters of Charity convent in Paris, asking that a medal be cast according to the pattern which Our Lady displayed, and promising that all who wear this medal will receive great graces. The famous and dramatic story of the conversion of Alphonse Ratisbonne in 1842 is a forceful example of how Our Lady keeps Her promises. He was a Jew, whose older brother Theodor (while Alphonse was still a child) had converted to the Catholic Faith and had become a priest. Alphonse grew up hating the Church for the rift that it had thus occasioned in his family. But when he was twenty-eight years old and traveling in Rome, he accepted a dare from one of his companions, who was a zealous Catholic, to wear a Miraculous Medal around his neck and …
The province of Quebec has pushed secularism another step with Bill-9. The law is intended to make sure day care workers don't wear religious symbols, such as a cross, hijab or kippa, that institutions like hospitals offer religious meals, like kosher and halal, must have an alternative meal, and no public prayers and prayer rooms in schools, universities and colleges. The idea is to make sure Quebec is secular. No religion wanted here. This new legislation goes further than the previous law, Bill 21, passed in 2019 which prohibits workers in public institutions from wearing religious symbols. This includes police officers, judges, principals, teachers and other public employees. No crosses, turbans, hijabs and kippahs. The Quebec government's mission was to laicize public spaces and institutions. The name of the law says it all: it's an "Act respecting the laicity of the State." Religion must be kept private. Worship and pray and dress with all the religious symbols you want but do it …
