This book helps bring more joy and peace into your life, because it shows you a completely new and different way to live your devotion to Mary.
This devotion to Mary may be new to you, because St. Louis-Marie de Montfort calls this devotion to her...
"...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 is the reason why so many pious Catholics don't appear to be joyful or at peace.
Because St. Louis also pointed out:
"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 doesn't have to be that hard, because St. Louis calls this devotion...
"...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" ("The Secret of Mary", #53).
This book shows you completely new and different ways, completely unlike anything you've ever seen before, to live this devotion to Mary.
St. Louis asked:
"When will souls breathe Mary as the body breathes air? When will that happy time, that age of Mary, come, when souls, losing themselves in the abyss of her interior, shall become living copies of Mary, to love and glorify Jesus? That time will not come until men shall know and practice this devotion which I am teaching" (True Devotion, #217).
What makes this book different from other books on devotion to Mary is that on page 122 Fr. Texier shows you exactly how to "remain in Mary as a permanent state."
That's just one of the reasons why the Montfort Fathers called him "a remarkable spiritual writer".
St. Louis emphasizes 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 life's 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
