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.

Janette - newbie
Greetings, companions! I write from still-snowy St Paul, Minnesota. My book arrived this afternoon - and the Dedication page has hooked me - "We have not yet praised, exalted, honored, loved and served Mary as we ought." - St Louis de Montfort. I am most definitely in this category! When Ruth asked me to consider joining this group - my heart leapt! Two years ago in December my Grad school class from Ave Maria Univ journeyed together for a Consecration to Jesus through Mary. I had done this about 10 years prior but somehow missed the concept of renewal each year. That time together with classmates, including my husband, Jeff, was incredibly transforming! I look most forward to continuing to incline my heart deeper and wider and softer to Jesus through Mary - and listening closely to the movements of other dear hearts so too inclined.
