What does it really mean to consecrate yourself completely to Our Lady?
Many Catholics have made an act of consecration—but few understand what it truly means to live it every day.
In this conference, Fr. Karl Stehlin explains the spirituality of total consecration: renouncing your own will, allowing Our Lady to form your heart, imitating her in every action, and becoming an instrument for the salvation of souls. He also addresses common objections, explains why consecration is dynamic rather than a one-time event, and shows how it transforms ordinary daily life.
