Today we'll focus on a simpler way of remembering the essence of Mother Teresa's consecration to Mary: "Be the one."

Today, the Risen Christ comes into our midst, not as a stranger, but in the form of bread and wine. It is not us anymore who tells him, “Stay with us, Lord” but it is him who invites us, “Stay with me. This is my Body, this is my Blood - for you.”

Part of the reason Mother Teresa took her consecration so seriously has to do with her roots in Albanian culture.

The two disciples on the road to Emmaus in today’s reading came to know the Lord in the “breaking of the bread”—the Eucharist. We can see that their encounter with Jesus that day parallels the way Jesus comes to meet us in every Mass.

When we give Mary our "yes," she begins to arrange all the events and details of our lives in such beautiful, tender, and loving ways.

She'll even let us live in her heart! If only we'll give her ours.

Several months after Mother Teresa first felt her "call within a call," she experienced three visions that further expressed her calling.

She felt moved to reveal her secret in a letter to her Missionaries of Charity.

This week, we'll focus on the example and words of a third great teacher of Marian consecration: Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

To conclude this week's reflections on St. Maximillian's teaching on Marian consecration, it will be good for us to get to know his actual prayer of consecration.

It wasn't enough for him just to be Mary's "slave," as St. Louis de Montfort often put it.

The second Sunday after Easter is designated Divine Mercy Sunday. It’s a recent feast in the Church, instituted in 2000 by Pope St. John Paul II. He felt that immediately after Easter, while the Paschal mysteries were fresh in our hearts, we needed an opportunity to reflect more deeply on God’s great mercy manifested in the Resurrection.

One day, he taught them a lesson they would never forget: "How to become a Saint."

PEACE is not just an ordinary word, or just a product of human imagination. It’s a creation of Christ’s resurrection! This peace is everyone’s dream; every human heart desires for it, and it should be our gift to everyone. Read this story...

Everything has come forth from God and is going back to God, more or less perfectly.

These are the parting words of one of the greatest Marian saints of all time.

Two hours before his arrest, the future saint penned the single most important theological reflection of his life.

This week, we'll focus on the example and words of the 20th century apostle of Marian consecration, St. Maximilian Kolbe
