True Devotion to Mary, the Mother of God
Ave Maria!
You have just come to the best website for all things pertaining to the
True Devotion to Mary and Marian consecration. The thought may cross
your mind that you don’t need more Marian books, but these books are
the best at explaining all aspects of the Marian life: the reasons for it, how
to prepare for your consecration, and how to live it every moment of your life.
There is no one who cannot take their Marian devotion to a higher level,
and considering how God has honored her, everyone should want to
increase their devotion to her.
The life of being consecrated to Mary is the best that can be lived, and it
won’t cost anything in the long-run, especially as it requires no additional
duties, works, or prayers.
As Catholics, we all want to give the greatest glory to God. St. Louis-Marie
said of the True Devotion: “By this practice, faithfully observed, you will give
Jesus more glory in a month than by any other practice, however difficult,
in many years.” He also said: “This devotion is an easy, short, perfect, and
secure way of arriving at union with our Lord, in which the perfection of a
Christian consists.”
Why did he say this? Because Jesus, “that Infinite Wisdom, Who had a
boundless desire to glorify God His Father, and to save men” “found no
more perfect means, no shorter way to do it, than to submit Himself in
all things to the Blessed Virgin. “Having, then, before our eyes an
example so plain and so well-known to the whole world, are we so
senseless as to imagine that we can find a more perfect or a shorter
means of glorifying God than that of submitting ourselves to Mary, after
the example of her Son?”
It is difficult, if not impossible, to make someone picture the results of
living the True Devotion, because spiritual results are intangible. With
Mary, the results that Jesus promised His followers will be yours in
more abundance: the one hundred fold in this life, peace not as the
world gives, and eternal life in the next.
Today is certainly more real than tomorrow, and even the future, but
as Mary knows not how to delay, as evidenced by her visit to St. Elizabeth,
she will start building your future today, doing all in her power to give you
the greatest share in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit her Spouse.
Why not get started now? The promised rewards and death seem
a long way off to most, but life does indeed pass quickly and we
should be as well prepared as we can for the death which will inevitably
come to us, especially since we know neither the day nor the hour.
You have everything to gain by investigating the True Devotion and the
life of Marian consecration. Deciding not to investigate the True Devotion
is the same as deciding to postpone or, God forbid, entirely forego the
opportunity to learn about the most efficacious means known to man to
work out the salvation of your soul.
Finally, remember that the devil is against all devotion to Mary, especially
the True Devotion, because he knows that souls that live this devotion
are lost to him. He would enjoy a sick delight if you neglected to
investigate the True Devotion. St. Louis-Marie wrote: “I clearly foresee
that raging beasts shall come in fury to tear with their diabolical teeth this
little writing and him whom the Holy Ghost has made use of to write it,
or at least to smother it in the silence of a coffer, that it may not appear.”
And that’s exactly what happened! The True Devotion to Mary was buried
in a chest for 127 years!
