If you've ever thought about Marian consecration, this is the perfect time to begin the 33-day preparation leading into Lent.
---
February always sneaks up on us—and for Jennifer, it also brings that familiar "spiritual antsy" feeling that it's time to reconnect and renew her consecration to Jesus through Mary. We talk through what consecration is (and isn't), why de Montfort's 33-day preparation still matters, and how the slow, steady rhythm of prayer changes you—especially when you do it like it's your first time.
Along the way, we share a practical lens that applies to Lent too: remove the friction points before you begin. Pick your Lenten reading, make your plan, and set yourself up for follow-through now, not later. Whether you're preparing for February 20 or just trying to live more intentionally, this is an invitation to go a little deeper—and to start sooner than you think.
