{"product_id":"preparation-for-holy-communion-with-casimir-valla-9781470053376","title":"Preparation for Holy Communion with Mary in the Spirit of Blessed de Montfort","description":"\u003cp\u003eImagine preparing for Holy Communion with Mary, using the secret God revealed to St. Louis de Montfort, and eventually experiencing what St. Louis promises...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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\" (\u003ci\u003e\"The Secret of Mary\"\u003c\/i\u003e, #56).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you think about it, living in constant union with Jesus is the entire purpose of the Christian life, and an assurance of eternal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reason why St. Louis could make such a remarkable promise is because God revealed this secret devotion to him. He wrote...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the reason why you can rest assured this book helps you achieve what he promised is because, in the history of their religious order, the Montfort Fathers called Fr. Texier \"a remarkable spiritual writer\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. Louis promises you that this devotion helps you achieve union with Jesus faster and easier than you ever thought possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"By this practice, faithfully observed, you will give Jesus more glory in a month than by any other practice, however difficult, in many years\" (\u003ci\u003e\"True Devotion to Mary\"\u003c\/i\u003e, #222).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe emphasizes...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"But always remember that the more you allow Mary to act in your Communion, the more Jesus will be glorified\" (True Devotion, #273).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe writes...\u003c\/p\u003e\"The strongest inclination of Mary is to unite us to Jesus Christ her Son; and the strongest inclination of the Son is that we should come to Him by His holy Mother\" (True Devotion, #75).\u003cp\u003eThat's the reason why he says...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"We must draw all the world, if we can, to her service and to this true and solid devotion\" (True Devotion, #265).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. Maximilian also said...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reason why he called on us to act with a sense of urgency is because he also warned...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reason why St. Maximilian encouraged us to act with a sense of urgency is because he knew the devil never bides his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book helps you do that by showing you how to use this devotion to prepare for Holy Communion in union with Mary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so, because the Montfort Fathers call Fr.
