"St. Louis-Marie de Montfort promises you that the devotion to Mary which this book helps you practice, will skyrocket your devotion to her more than any other devotion, because this devotion..."
"...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).
