True Devotion to Mary

-SECOND TRUTH-

 We belong to Jesus and Mary as Their Slaves

68. We must conclude, from what Jesus Christ is with regard to us, that, as the Apostle says (1 Cor. 6:19-20), we do not belong to ourselves but are entirely His, as His members and His slaves, whom He has bought at an infinitely dear price, the price of all His Blood.  Before Baptism we belonged to the devil, as his slaves; but Baptism has made us true … [Read More...]

A while back I started a series of posts titled True Devotion to Mary.  (There is a category on the sidebar called True Devotion to Mary where all of the eight posts are included.)  It has been my hope that these posts would provide people with a clear sense and a true understanding of who Mary is and what powerful a role she plays in our salvation.  Parts of each post (in the burgundy font) have been copied, word for word, from the book titled True Devotion To Mary, written by Saint Louis De Montfort.

True Devotion to Mary: Should the Posts Continue?

I would love to get your opinion as to whether I should continue with this series or instead, leave the category on the sidebar so that people can still access the ones I’ve already written and, if they choose, read the book on their own time.  There seems to be a lack of interest … [Read More...]

ARTICLE THREE: Providential Function of Mary in the Latter Times

 II. Exercise of This Function

2. In the formation of the apostles of the latter times.

55. In a word, God wishes that His holy Mother should be at present more known, more loved, more honored than she has ever been.  This, no doubt, will take place if the predestinate enter, with the grace and light of the Holy Ghost, into the interior and perfect practice which … [Read More...]

Consequences

II. Mary Is Necessary to Men

3. Especially necessary to the great saints of the latter times.

47. I have said that this would come to pass, particularly at the end of the world and indeed presently, because the Most High with His holy Mother has to form for Himself great saints who shall surpass most of the other saints in sanctity as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs, as has … [Read More...]

Consequences

I. Mary Is Queen of All Hearts

37. We may evidently conclude, then, from what I have said, first of all, that Mary has received from God a great domination over the souls of the elect; for she cannot make her residence in them as God the Father ordered her to do, and, as their mother, form, nourish and bring them forth to eternal life, and have them as her inheritance and portion, and form them in … [Read More...]
