To Jesus through Mary

To the Catholic who wants practical ways of attaining a devout life while living in the world

If I offered to show you how to attain a devout life while living in the world...

...accomplishing more in one month than most people do in years...

...without changing your daily routine...

...using a little-known, easy, and Church-approved method...

...would you take me up on that offer?

Here's what St. Louis-Marie de Montfort said about the devotion to Mary this book reveals to show you how to attain a devout life...

"By this practice, faithfully observed, you will give Jesus more glory in a month than by any other practice, however difficult, in many years" ("True Devotion to Mary", #222).

The reason St. Louis spoke with such conviction and without the slightest hesitation is because God revealed this devotion directly to him. Here's St. Louis again...

"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).

And since he says "the essential of this devotion consists in the interior which it ought to form" (True Devotion, #119), and not in exterior practices, he also promises that you can attain a devout life while living in the world...

"...though he shall have done nothing more than the ordinary actions of his state of life. What joy at his judgment! What glory in his eternity!" (True Devotion, #172)

In other words, without changing your daily routine.

So you can see why Pope St. John Paul II told the Montfort Fathers this devotion "was a decisive turning-point in my life."

The Montfort Fathers assure you that this book is easy to understand, because, in the history of their religious order, they called Fr. Texier "a remarkable spiritual writer."

One of the many things that 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."

Here's what St. Louis says happens then...

"When the Holy Spirit, her Spouse, has found Mary in a soul, He flies there. He enters there in His fullness; He communicates Himself to that soul abundantly, and to the full extent to which she makes room for her Spouse" (True Devotion, #36).

And...

"The third good which Our Lady does to her servants is that she conducts and directs them according to the will of her Son" (True Devotion, #209).

Now, it's impossible for the Holy Spirit to communicate Himself to you abundantly, and for Mary to direct you according to the will of her Son without you attaining a devout life.

Here's another way St. Louis described this devotion...

It is a short road, which leads us to Jesus in a little time" (True Devotion, #168).

Mary teaches us not to look backward once the road is decided upon.

She does not beat around the bush. She does not take winding detours. She follows a straight line to the objective: union with her Son.

That's why St. Louis emphasized...

"She unites them to Him with a most intimate union, and she keeps them unshaken in that union" (True Devotion, #211).

And so, the devotion to Mary which this book spells out is not for tire-kickers or the non-committal.

It's for the Catholic who's ready to be united to Jesus through Mary. It's for the Catholic who wants Mary's help in living a holy and devout life...and who's ready to take action as quickly and absolutely as she did when she said to St. Gabriel...

"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to thy word" (Lk. 1:38).

Mary knows there's nothing that will ever satisfy you like living a holy and devout life.

So don't delay and miss out, because Mary's waiting to give you a new and better chapter in life.
