Consecration to the Guardian Angel The Marian Dimension of the Opus Angelorum 1. Describe your relationship to the Blessed Mother. What does she mean to you? 2. Mary gave us Jesus, and with this Gift, she gave us supernatural life. At the Annunciation, the moment she gave herself completely to the work of our salvation, she conceived each of us and began to carry us all in her womb in a spiritual way. It was beneath the cross where she gave birth to us spiritually by her consent to the death of Jesus, her Son, for our sake. That is how Jesus can say to her, Woman, behold your son. And to John (and each believer), behold your mother. WOW!!!! Her yes to God’s will in her life made salvation possible for all of us. This is exactly what God wants from each of us – that we say yes to His will in everything. Discuss. 3. How does our human capacity to receive grace grow?
4. The Angel of Fatima taught the 3 children to “Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which (God) is offended.” Our Lady exhorted them, “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.” Give examples of everyday sacrifices you could make in expiation. 5. John 2:5, His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Tell of a situation where you did what He told you. What happened?
