348 THE CONFRATERNITY OF MARY APPENDIX 5
of glory in heaven. This we do without reservation, not even
of a penny, a hair, or the smallest good deed. And we give for
all eternity without claiming or expecting, in return for our
offering and our service, any other reward than the honour of
belonging to our Lord through Mary and in Mary, even
though our Mother were not — as in fact she always is — the
most generous and appreciative of all God’s creatures.” (St.
Louis-Marie de Montfort: Treatise on True Devotion, Par. 121)
3. The conditions of enrolment are: (a) The consecration of
oneself to Jesus Christ, Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom, by the
hands of Mary, according to the formula of St. Louis de
Montfort. A suitable preparation should be made, and it is
fitting that a special day be chosen, such as one of Our Lady’s
feasts, for the consecration. It should be renewed each day
using some such formula as: “I am all yours, and all that I
have I offer to you, O most loving Jesus, through Mary your
holy Mother.” This form would also satisfy the morning
offering of the Apostleship of Prayer. Another form would be
that so dear to the Legion: “ I am all yours, my Queen, my
Mother, and all that I have is yours.” (b) The inscription of
one’s name at any centre. The principle centres are:
England: Montfort House, Burbo Bank Road, Liverpool
L23 6TH
USA: Montfort Fathers, 26 South Saxon Ave., Bay
Shore, N.Y. 11706
France: Maison Mère de la Sagesse, 3 Rue Jean Paul II,

Belgium: Dietsevest 25 – 3000 Leuven
Canada: 4000 Bossuet, Montreal, Quebec H1M 2M2
Italy: via Romagna 44, 00187 Roma
(c) To live habitually and always (this is the essence of the
devotion) in a state of complete dependence on Mary’s will,
after the example given by the Son of God at Nazareth; doing
all our actions through her, with her, in her, and for her, in
such manner that we consider her as acting always in union
with us, directing all our efforts and administering all their
fruits. See chapter 6 on The Duties of Legionaries towards Mary.
