Do You Make These 7 Mistakes In Your Devotion To Mary?
Did you know that St. Louis-Marie de Montfort said God revealed a secret to him that works better than any other devotion to help you get closer to God?
He wrote:
"Predestinate soul, here is a secret the Most High has taught me, which I have not been able to find in any book, old or new. I confide it to you, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit" ("The Secret of Mary", #1).
He explained this secret in his "True Devotion to Mary", including the 7 mistakes to avoid in Marian devotion. But he admitted he left a lot of things out.
"I have now said many things about the Most Holy Virgin; but I have many more to say, and there are infinitely more which I shall omit, whether from ignorance, inability, or want of time" (True Devotion, #111).
No worries, though, because the Montfort Fathers assure you this Commentary fills in all of the gaps. They said:
"The "Commentary on the Treatise on the True Devotion" points out everything the reader must know or remember in order to penetrate completely the immortal masterpiece of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort. It is an essential book for whoever desires to learn the Perfect Devotion."
Furthermore, they said this Commentary...
"...furnishes to readers everything they must know in order to understand and appreciate the doctrine of Bl. Louis-Marie de Montfort."
The Holy Spirit summed up the first thirty years of Jesus' life in one sentence:
"And He was subject to them" (Lk. 2:51).
That's why St. Louis declared:
"Jesus Christ gave more glory to God the Father by submission to His Mother during those thirty years than He would have given Him in converting the whole world by the working of the most stupendous miracles. Oh, how highly we glorify God, when, to please Him, we submit ourselves to Mary, after the example of Jesus Christ, our sole Exemplar!" (True Devotion, #18)
Since God revealed it to him, St. Louis assures you that this devotion...
"...is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head. One of His members in passing by the same road cannot deceive himself" (True Devotion, #168).
Jesus' Sacred Heart is a human heart, with human emotions and human feelings. Jesus experienced both joy and sadness.
Nothing would give His Sacred Heart more joy than to see you following Him on the path of this devotion, because He said, "I have given you an example, that as I have done...so you do also" (Jn. 13:15).
How could He not rejoice at seeing you live the devotion that He lived, and about which St. Louis said:
"I have never found a practice of devotion to Our Lady more solid than this one, since it takes its inspiration from the example of Jesus Christ. Neither have I found any devotion which redounds more to God's glory, is more salutary to the soul, and more feared by the enemies of our salvation; nor, finally, have I found a devotion that is more attractive and more satisfying" ("The Love of Eternal Wisdom", Ch. 17, #2).
And...
"This devotion to our Blessed Lady is also a secure way to go to Jesus, and to acquire perfection by uniting us to Him" (True Devotion, #159).
When Jesus said, "Abide in Me" (Jn. 15:4), He wanted that to happen as soon as possible.
This devotion is the best way for you to make it happen, because St. Louis emphasizes:
"It is a short road, which leads us to Jesus in a little time" (True Devotion, #168).
God tells us: "He that is holy, let him be sanctified still" (Apoc. 22:11).
So, when it comes to your sanctification, this isn't something He wants you to put off for another time.
