True Devotion To Mary by St. Louis De Montfort is considered by many to be the greatest book ever written on the Blessed Virgin Mary. Seemingly divinely inspired, it is the classic statement on the spiritual way to Jesus through His Mother. St. Louis De Montfort prophesied in this book that True Devotion would be the way of life adopted by the great saints of the latter times. Includes the preparation for Total Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Christ lives in all Christians who are in the state of grace. In the great majority, however, the Christian life is only, as it were, in its embryonic stage. St. Louis de Montfort's aim is to develop the embryo until Christ has come to the "fullness of His age in us." That is, until we have become perfect Christians living in the "life of Christ" and "not in this world." We must first become aware of Christ in our life and to realize how much the present world distracts us from Christ. Once we know this imbalance of world to Christ we can set upon our journey to knowing our Lord - to begin development of our life to know Christ's fullness, as described by St. Louis.
