How does the final week of St. Louis de Montfort's 33-day preparation for Total Consecration center our hearts fully on Jesus Christ as the ultimate end of all Marian devotion? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Anna Mitchell welcomes back author Greg Willits (God Doesn't Hate Me After All, Rosary Army) to explore the culminating stage of total consecration.

Willits breaks down the "knowledge of Jesus Christ" stage, describing it as the most retreat-like period of the preparation. Drawing from St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary and Thomas à Kempis's The Imitation of Christ, he reminds listeners that all true devotion to Mary exists solely to lead us into a deeper, more secure union with Jesus—our Alpha and Omega. Plus, Willits shares a practical calendar tip: starting the 33-day preparation on November 5th allows faithful to make their Total Consecration on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th.
