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.

Intro to par. 31
Because I am so far behind, I am only going to make a few comments so that I can concentrate on catching up. 1) I never gave it much thought about how little there is on Mary's life in the Bible. 2) On pg. 9: "admission to this sanctuary--the Immaculate Heart of Mary--is God's gift to those who practice true devotion;". 3) On pg. 10: "In living true devotion one has access to Mary's merits, charity, power and humility. The more we desire to possess them, the more she grants them to us." 4) On page 11 mentioned is how we need St. Michael as our ally in this true devotion. 5) The questions are really making me think outside the box. 6) On pg 17: "The world was unworthy, says St. Augustine, to receive the Son of God directly from the Father's hands. He gave Him to Mary in order that the world might receive Him through her. The Son of God became man for our salvation; but it was in Mary and by Mary." 7) On pg 21: "the more one is devoted to Mary the more one receives the Holy Spirit and His gifts."
