"St. Louis-Marie de Montfort promises you that the method of preparing for the Last Times with the Virgin Mary, which this book helps you practice, will skyrocket your devotion to her more than any other devotion."
The reason why is because he emphasizes that this devotion to Mary...
"...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 to Mary", 168).
And also because he said the Holy Spirit revealed this devotion to him. He 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).
Read on to find out about the benefits and advantages this book brings to you.
First of all, St. Louis-Marie declares that this devotion to Mary brings you closer to God than any other devotion, because it's...
"...more glorious to God, more sanctifying to the soul, and more useful to the neighbor, than any other of the devotions to her" (True Devotion, 118).
And he calls this devotion to Mary...
"...a secret unknown to almost all Christians, even the most devout" (True Devotion, 177).
Montfort Father Antonin Lhoumeau was one of the few people who knew this secret.
He explains so well how to use this secret to prepare for the Last Times with the Virgin Mary, that the Montfort Fathers said...
"Abbé Antonin Lhoumeau was a man gifted with great talents. Fr. Lhoumeau made an enormous contribution to the spread of Marian spirituality. He wrote books which were very well received."
Jesus teaches that the grace of final perseverance is necessary for salvation...
"But he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved" (Mt. 10:22).
Which means that he who doesn't persevere to the end won't be saved.
When you practice this devotion to Mary, St. Louis-Marie promises you...
"She obtains fidelity to God and final perseverance for those who attach themselves to her" (True Devotion, 175).
"St. Louis-Marie points out your two options..."
Option 1: You can ignore this devotion. He warns...
"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).
Option 2: You can imitate Jesus' devotion to Mary, which he calls...
"...a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths" (True Devotion, 152).
God tells us through St. Paul...
"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31).&am
