More Papal pictures from St. Joseph's Seminary in Dunwoodie, courtesy of Keith (again). It's still hard to believe the Pope was here just such a short time ago.

Being the optional memorial of St. Louis Marie de Montfort and conveniently exactly 33 days from the Marian feast of the Visitation, today is a perfect day to start the preparation for the Consecration to Jesus through Mary. At least, that's what I'm doing. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the layout done by the folks at Fish Eaters and also the Friends of Our Lady for providing an up-to-date schedule to confirm for me that today was the appropriate day to start. Reading de Montfort's True Devotion has already been an incredible experience - it could very well have been written in the present day. Pray, pray, pray.
