TRUE
DEVOTION TO OUR LADY
By St.
Louis-Marie de Montfort
Day 25 of 33
Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary
Wonderful Effects of this Devotion
My dear friend, be sure that if you remain faithful to the interior and
exterior practices of this devotion which I will point out, the following
effects will be produced in your soul:
1. Knowledge of our unworthiness: By the light which the Holy Spirit will
give you through Mary, his faithful spouse, you will perceive the evil
inclinations of your fallen nature and how incapable you are of any good.
Finally, the humble Virgin Mary will share her humility with you so that,
although you regard yourself with distaste and desire to be disregarded by others,
you will not look down slightingly upon anyone.
2. A share in Mary's faith Mary
will share her faith with you. Her faith on earth was stronger than that of all
the patriarchs, prophets, apostles and saints.
3. The gift of pure love The Mother of fair love will rid your heart
of all scruples and inordinate servile fear.
4. Great confidence in God and in Mary Our Blessed Lady will fill you
with unbounded confidence in God and in herself: 1) Because you will no longer
approach Jesus by yourself but always through Mary, your loving Mother.
5. Communication of the spirit of Mary The soul of Mary will be communicated to
you to glorify the Lord. Her spirit will take the place of yours to rejoice in
God, her Saviour, but only if you are faithful to the practices of this
devotion.
6. Transformation into the likeness of Jesus If Mary, the Tree of Life, is well
cultivated in our soul by fidelity to this devotion, she will in due time bring
forth her fruit which is none other than Jesus.
7. The greater glory of Christ If you live this devotion sincerely, you
will give more glory to Jesus in a month than in many years of a more demanding
devotion.
