Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483998527)

Imagine preparing for your consecration to the Blessed Virgin in such a way that you eventually experience what St. Louis de Montfort promises...

"Do not think, dear soul, that Mary, the most fruitful of all pure creatures, who has brought forth even a God, remains idle in a faithful soul. She will cause Jesus Christ to live in that soul, and the soul to live in constant union with Jesus Christ" ("The Secret of Mary", #56).

Living in constant union with Jesus is the entire purpose of the Christian life, a pledge of eternal life, and the reason for consecrating yourself to Mary.

This guide easily prepares you for your consecration to the Blessed Virgin, because it reveals exactly what you need to know to crack the code on this devotion which St. Louis de Montfort confirmed is...

"...a secret unknown to almost all Christians, even the most devout" ("True Devotion to Mary", #177).

The reason why St. Louis could promise you that you can live in constant union with Jesus is because God revealed this devotion to him. He wrote...

"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" (Secret, #1).

And the reason why you can rest assured this guide helps you achieve what he promised is because the Montfort Fathers said...

"These meditations are the work of a Montfortian missionary (Fr. 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)."

And in the history of their religious order, the Montfort Fathers called Fr. Texier "a remarkable spiritual writer".

St. Louis emphasizes...

"The Holy Spirit has not formed Jesus Christ except by her; neither does He form the members of Our Lord's Mystical Body except by her; and through her alone does He dispense His favors and gifts" (True Devotion, #140).

That's why he says...

"We must draw all the world, if we can, to her service and to this true and solid devotion" (True Devotion, #265).

St. Louis de Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe were on the same page. In fact, St. Maximilian told his fellow Franciscans, "The devotion taught by Blessed Grignion (St. Louis) is ours exactly."

St. Maximilian also said...

"We must realize the goal of the Militia of the Immaculate, as quickly as possible: that is, to conquer the whole world, and every individual soul which exists today or will exist until the end of the world, for the Immaculata, and through her for the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus."

The reason why he appealed to us to act with a sense of urgency is because he also warned...

"Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future. The conflict with hell cannot be engaged by men, even the most clever. The lmmaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. However, assumed into heaven, the Mother of God now requires our cooperation. She seeks souls who will consecrate themselves entirely to Her, who will become in Her hands effective instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spreading of God's Kingdom upon earth."

The good news is St. Louis insists this devotion to Mary is "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 so, today consecration to Mary is more vital than ever. Now there is more need than ever before for all of us to practice our devotion to Mary better, specifically, consecration to her.

This book helps you do that by showing you how to prepare for your consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin.

And so, because the Montfort Fathers call Fr. Texier "a remarkable spiritual writer" and give his books their seal of approval, I urge you to send for your copy of this book toda
