📖 The Scoop
This book helps bring more joy and peace into your life, because it reveals a completely new and different way to help you live your devotion to Mary.
This devotion to Mary may be new to you, because St. Louis called this devotion...
"...a mystery of grace unknown to even the wisest and most spiritual among Christians" ("True Devotion to Mary", #21).
The fact that this devotion is so little-known is the reason why so many good Catholics don't appear to be joyful or at peace.
Because St. Louis also pointed out:
"It is true that we can attain to divine union by other roads; but it is by many more crosses and exceptional setbacks, and with many more difficulties, which we shall find it hard to overcome" (True Devotion, #152).
The good news is your life doesn't have to be that hard, because St. Louis calls the devotion to Mary which he teaches...
"...a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths" (True Devotion, #152).
And he promises you...
"Experience will teach you much more about this devotion than I can tell you; and if you remain faithful to the little I have taught you, you will find so many rich fruits of grace in this practice that you will be surprised and filled with joy" ("The Secret of Mary", #53).
This book shows you completely new and different ways, completely unlike anything you've ever seen before, to practice this devotion. It demystifies this "mystery of grace" so well, that it was St. Louis' favorite book.
Canon Blain, his best friend, reported...
"He would have liked everybody to join the society of the slaves of the Blessed Virgin. The source of this zeal was the book "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God" written on this subject by the late Fr. Boudon."
This is the first and only English translation of this book, although it was first published in 1667.
St. Louis emphasizes that this devotion...
"...is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head" (True Devotion, #168).
That's why he insists:
"We must draw the whole world, if we can, to her service and to this true and solid devotion" (True Devotion, #265).
You know the Church calls Mary the "Queen of peace" and the "Cause of our joy".
Mary knows life isn't always easy, because her Son said: "And whosoever does not carry his cross and come after Me, cannot be My disciple" (Lk. 14:27).
She knows how hard it can be to "count it all joy, when you encounter various trials" (James 1:2). And like a good mother, she wants to be by your side, to help you experience joy and peace in the midst of life's inevitable trials, because...
Mary Loves You More Than All Mothers Combined
St. Louis says...
"She loves them tenderly, and more tenderly than all other mothers put together. Throw, if you can, all the natural love which all the mothers of the world have for their children into the one heart of one mother for one only child. Surely that mother will love that child immensely. Nevertheless, it is true that Mary loves her children yet more tenderly than that mother would love that child of hers" (True Devotion, #202).
Mary wants nothing more than to unite you with her Son, the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6), so "that your joy may be full" (Jn. 16:24).
That's why St. Louis emphasizes:
"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).
And that's what he says she does in this devotion.
"She unites them to Him with a most intimate union, and she keeps them unshaken in that union" (True Devotion, #211).
Mary is ready to start helping you use this new way of practicing devotion to her, so she can unite you to her Son - it's up to you to say WHEN. Why not let her get started toda
