This book helps bring more joy and peace into your life, because it spells out for you, in depth, the whats, whys, and hows of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's consecration to Mary.
This devotion to Mary may be "new" to you, even if you've already heard of it, because St. Louis pointed out...
"I have found many people who, with admirable zeal, have adopted the exterior practices of this holy slavery of Jesus and Mary, but I have found only a few who have accepted its interior spirit, and still fewer who have persevered in it" ("The Secret of Mary", #44).
In general, though, he says most Catholics don't know about it. That's why he called this devotion...
"...a mystery of grace unknown to even the wisest and most spiritual among Christians" ("True Devotion to Mary", #21).
The fact that this devotion is so little-known and understood is the reason why so many good Catholics don't appear to be joyful or at peace.
Because St. Louis also noted:
"It is true that we can attain to divine union by other roads; but it is by many more crosses and exceptional setbacks, and with many more difficulties, which we shall find it hard to overcome" (True Devotion, #152).
The good news is your life won't have to be that hard once you see what's in this book, because St. Louis calls this devotion to Mary...
"...a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths" (True Devotion, #152).
And he promises you...
"Experience will teach you much more about this devotion than I can tell you; and if you remain faithful to the little I have taught you, you will find so many rich fruits of grace in this practice that you will be surprised and filled with joy" (Secret, #53).
As I mentioned above, this book spells out for you, in depth, the whats, whys, and hows of St. Louis' consecration to Mary.
And it does so in new and different ways you've likely never seen before.
This is also two-books-in-one. The second book is "Why Consecrate Myself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?"
St. Louis emphasized that this devotion...
"...is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head" (True Devotion, #168).
That's why he insists:
"We must draw the whole world, if we can, to her service and to this true and solid devotion" (True Devotion, #265).
You know the Church calls Mary the "Queen of peace" and the "Cause of our joy".
Mary knows life isn't always easy, and how it can feel nearly impossible to "count it all joy, when you encounter various trials" (James 1:2). And like a good mother, she wants to be by your side, to help you experience joy and peace in the midst of your inevitable trials, because...
Mary Loves You More Than All Mothers Combined
St. Louis says...
"She loves them tenderly, and more tenderly than all other mothers put together. Throw, if you can, all the natural love which all the mothers of the world have for their children into the one heart of one mother for one only child. Nevertheless, it is true that Mary loves her children yet more tenderly than that mother would love that child of hers" (True Devotion, #202).
Mary wants nothing more than to unite you with her Son, the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6), so "that your joy may be full" (Jn. 16:24).
That's why St. Louis emphasizes:
"The strongest inclination of Mary is to unite us to Jesus Christ her Son; and the strongest inclination of the Son is that we should come to Him by His holy Mother" (True Devotion, #75).
And that's what he says she does in this devotion.
"She unites them to Him with a most intimate union, and she keeps them unshaken in that union" (True Devotion, #211).
Mary is ready to start helping you use this new way of living your devotion to her, so she can unite you to her Son - it's up to you to say WHEN. Why not let her get started today?
