Paragraphs 7-8
Mary's merits, charity, power and humility are immmeasurable---and in living true devotion we have access to them. The more we desire to possess them the more she grants them to us. Our Mother is waiting for our desire! St. Michael, the archangel, help us in that desire and protect us in our journey.
Paragraphs 10-12
St. Louis says...Mary deserves more attention, more praise...we need the zeal of the saints! How do I fulfill this in my life? ...really live out the devotion.
Mary's full dignity is veiled from us and only the Holy Spirit can reveal the extent of her holiness to us. Holy Spirit, help me use all these "tools" of the Catholic Church to put a fire under my "zeal". I must join the saints in.......Holy, holy, holy Mary Mother of God and Virgin!
The book we are using for this blog "The Echo of God" is a commentary for beginners on St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary. The entire purpose of the blog is to help each of us to grow in our love for Jesus and His and our mother, Mary. The Echo of God will assist any reader who finds difficulty in appropriating Montfort's sublime teaching on the role of Mary in the formation of saints for the latter times.

Corrine, I too was touched with that sentence that we'll have access to Mary's merits, etc. What a great gift!
And I really appreciated the thought of approaching St. Michael to help us on this journey. I had never thought of asking him to help in this way.
And the Holy Spirit revealing to us the extent of Mary's Holiness makes it seem more doable. Like with Supernatural help we can truly get their!!
