"The Secret The Holy Spirit Revealed To St. Louis-Marie de Montfort That He Wants Every Catholic To Know About Preparing For Consecration To Mary, His Spouse"St. Louis-Marie writes..."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 insists the Holy Spirit wants you to know this secret, because the Holy Spirit also revealed to him that so many souls can't tell the difference between a true and a false devotion to Mary. And he says it's leading them to hellfire. That's why he warns..."There are at this time, more than ever, false devotions to our Blessed Lady which it is easy to mistake for true ones."The devil, like a counterfeiter and a subtle and experienced deceiver, has already deceived and destroyed so many souls by a false devotion to the Blessed Virgin, that he makes a daily use of his diabolical experience to plunge many others by this same way into everlasting perdition" ("True Devotion to Mary", 90).This is obviously a problem people discover they have only when it's too late to do anything about it.St. Louis-Marie echoes Jesus, who told St. Bridget, at a time when the only Christians on the planet were Catholics and some Orthodox..."Do not be surprised at what I say. If the wisest man in the world could count up how many souls fall into hell each day, they would outnumber the sands of the sea or the pebbles on the shore."I am saying this so that the devil's numbers may decrease, and the danger become known, and My army be filled up. If only they would listen and come to their senses!"That's why St. Louis-Marie makes it a point to emphasize and reassure you that the devotion to Mary which this book prepares you to practice..."...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).This is the ONLY guide on preparing for your consecration to Mary that the Montfort Fathers declared is like being prepared by St. Louis-Marie himself. They stated..."These meditations are the work of a Montfortian missionary (Fr. Jean-Marie Texier), about whom we have said: "He loved the Most Blessed Virgin with the heart of a child; he spoke of her with the heart of his Blessed Father (St. Louis-Marie)."This guide helps you live your consecration to Mary before you actually make it, because it includes previously untranslated examples from St. Louis-Marie's life showing how he lived his own consecration to Mary.If, for some reason, you don't completely trust the Montfort Fathers' recommendation of this book, which they attest is like being prepared for your consecration by St. Louis-Marie himself...so you can safely avoid every one of the devil's false devotions to Mary, simply do not buy it.You wouldn't get the full value of this book, because St. Louis-Marie states..."This secret works its effect in a soul only in proportion to the use made of it" (Secret, 1).But if you can give Our Lady as little as 5 minutes a day, following a recommendation of St. Maximilian Kolbe, who told his fellow Franciscans..."The devotion taught by Blessed Grignion (St. Louis-Marie) is ours exactly," you're all set!That's because St. Louis-Marie promises you..."For an egg she (Mary) gives an ox; that is to say, for a little that is given to her, she gives much of what she has received from God" (True Devotion, 181).If you'd like to practice the devotion to Mary which Jesus Himself practiced, so you can say bye-bye to every one of the devil's false devotions to Mary, which lead so many souls to hellfire, just click the button at the top of this page.
