Marian Tech Resources to Help Know, Love & Share the Blessed Mother

As we celebrate September, a month dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, we observe three feasts this month that call us into a more devoted relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary. This month, we celebrate:

September 8 – The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
September 12 – The Most Holy Name of Mary
September 15 – Our Lady of Sorrows

I love Our Lady, and I also love technology. I thought I’d share a few “tech tools” — but also some “old fashioned” ones — for you to know, love and share Mary. Enjoy!

Smartphone Apps:

Total Consecration (iOS) – PetrosMedia.com – Easy way to follow St. Louis de Montfort’s Total Consecration to ensure consecration falls on Marian Feast Day
My Consecration (iOS) – Daily Preparation for total consecration – start 10/19 to end on Presentation of Mary (11/21)

We know nothing of the life of Mary until Gabriel greeted her.
Imagine if we knew the history and trials of the Blessed One.
Satan had her in his sights. Here was the One, the Vessel by which God Himself would join His Divinity to Humanity, forever.
This is what the Serpent feared and despised most.
There should be a fantastic fiction movie made of all the snares that were laid to kill her and yet she came through unscathed and undefiled.
