Marian Consecration and the Marian Vow

Fr. Pio Idowu of the Marian Franciscans is back to share his wisdom on Marian Consecration, Marian Vow, and Unlimited Consecration to Mary.

This video was uploaded on this beautiful Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an offering to our Lord. This will be the first of a series of episodes on Marian Consecration, hoping and praying that it will encourage more people to offer their lives to Jesus through Mary.
