Reddit reviews 33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat In Preparation for Marian Consecration

There's many methods to it. The most common would be the [St. Louis de Montfort Way] (https://www.fisheaters.com/totalconsecrationmontfort.html), but you could also do the [33 Days to Morning Glory Way] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJDZMXK/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1), which is the easier option. Both are self guided retreats and they're awesome. I did mine about 1 year ago and haven't looked back since. I did the 33 Days to Morning Glory and it was a great book and helped me understand a lot more about Mary.

Aw, it's not a silly question! It's a great thing that you're curious and want to learn more.

Simply put, Marian consecration is a devotion in which an individual dedicates themselves in sacred service to God through Mary. There are many paths to Christ, and consecration to Mary is a surefire way of being brought close to Jesus, and perhaps it may even be the easiest and safest way of doing so. Mary brought Jesus into the world for all of us, and likewise devotion to her is an assurance that she will bring you and Jesus closer than ever before if you truly desire that. The consecration is like a sanctifying process in which an individual's focus is turned away from sin and self-love and instead focused towards God through Mary. Those who are devoted to her are kept close to Christ and live safely under her protective mantle. (This is not to say there aren't spiritual attacks on those who consecrate themselves because there are, and in fact, such attacks may become more forceful and desperate because one is close to Mary. The key here is trust - if you trust that you are under her protection, there is nothing to fear.)

If you're really interested in learning more, I recommend reading St. Louis de Montfort's words yourself if you have the time. There's also 33 Days to Morning Glory which summarizes the teachings and how-to's of Marian Consecration. Hope that helps. :)
