True Devotion To Mary by St. Louis De Montfort True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort (1673-1716) is considered to be the greatest single book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever written. Seemingly divinely inspired, it is the classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beloved by countless souls, this book sums up the entire Christian life, showing a way of holiness that is short, easy, secure and perfect-a way of life chosen by Our Lord Himself, as explained here by the "Apostle of Mary." Yet this holy way to Jesus through Mary remains unknown to most Catholics-even to many of the wisest and most spiritual among them. This is undoubtedly due in large part to the work of Satan, who cannot endure that Mary should be so successful in bringing souls to her Divine Son. In fact, St. Louis De Montfort predicted that the devil would try to bury True Devotion to Mary; and indeed, his precious manuscript lay hidden all during the 1700's, and was finally brought to light only in 1842, when it was found in a chest of old books. But even today, most Catholics still do not realize that God Himself has chosen Mary as the perfect means for Christians to become entirely devoted to His service. In this beautiful and sublimely inspiring book, St. Louis De Montfort explains the wonderful spiritual effects which True Devotion to Mary brings about in a person's life, leaving the reader with no doubt that this devotion provides the key both to sanctity and to salvation. St. Louis De Montfort prophesied in this book that True Devotion to Mary would be the way of life adopted by the great saints of the latter times. This popular edition of True Devotion to Mary is being presented in the hope that it may please God to raise up a great multitude of such saints-and that the readers of this book may be included in that holy company. 215 pages
