✠ A Path of Consecration, Devotion, and Franciscan Renewal
The Eric Michel Marian Movement has emerged as a spiritual expression of deep veneration for the Blessed Virgin Mary, lived and shared by members of Eric Michel Ministries International, an independent New Life Franciscan Catholic ministry.
Rooted in a life of prayer, Eucharistic devotion, and Franciscan simplicity, this movement draws its spiritual foundation from the profound teaching of Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, especially his spirituality of total consecration to Jesus through Mary.
✠ Marian Consecration: The Heart of the Movement
At the center of the movement lies the call to Marian Consecration, a complete entrustment of one’s life to Christ through the maternal mediation of Mary.
This consecration is not merely devotional—it is transformational. It invites the faithful to:
- Live in a deeper union with Jesus Christ
- Embrace humility, purity, and obedience
- Allow Mary to form their hearts according to the Gospel
- Become instruments of grace in the world
In this way, Mary is not only honoured but also actively lived as a model of perfect discipleship.
✠ Mary as a Model of Faith and Spiritual Life
The movement looks to the Blessed Virgin Mary as:
- The perfect disciple, who said “yes” to God without reserve
- The living tabernacle, which bore Christ into the world
- The mother of the Church, guiding souls toward her Son
Through her example, members are called to cultivate:
- A contemplative heart
- A spirit of surrender
- A life rooted in charity and truth
✠ Franciscan Spirit and Marian Identity
Inspired by the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi, the movement embraces:
- Simplicity of life
- Joy in the Gospel
- Reverence for creation
- Deep Eucharistic devotion
In this Franciscan light, Marian consecration becomes a path of poverty of spirit and radical trust in Divine Providence.
Members of the movement are called to become Knights of the Immaculata, inspired by Saint Maximilian Kolbe’s mission.
This identity expresses a spiritual mission:
- To belong entirely to Mary
- To serve as her instruments in the renewal of souls
- To defend and proclaim the truth of Christ
- To bring light into the world through prayer, sacrifice, and evangelization
The Knight does not fight with worldly weapons, but with:
- Faith
- Love
- Sacrificial offering
- Total trust in the Immaculate
✠ Mission and Vision
The Eric Michel Marian Movement seeks to:
- Renew the Church through Marian spirituality
- Form consecrated hearts rooted in Christ
- Build a community of prayer, study, and evangelization
- Spread the message of hope, mercy, and salvation
✠ A Living Invitation
This movement is an invitation:
To walk with Mary.
To be formed by her.
To belong entirely to Christ.
In the spirit of consecration, members echo the ancient prayer:
“Totus Tuus — I am all yours, and all that I have is yours.”
