The new Ordo consecrationis virginum underlines the very ancient and evangelical motif of consecration, which draws us back to baptismal consecration, opening the way to the eschatological feast of the Lamb, which can be anticipated now by total devotion to Christ. The prayer of consecration and partly the homily convey the main theological idea of sponsal and spiritually furtile love, perfectly exemplified in the person of Holy Mary, Mother of God.
