In the process of catching up, I’ll copy & paste this in, parag. 40-54.
#40 It is incredible how many ways St. Louis shows that devotion to Mary (and then devotion to Jesus) is necessary for our salvation. #44 He says how we receive many graces from Mary when giving everything over to her. #50 We have to know her in order to seek her. Must pray daily for the gift of true devotion. #54 Mary will always expose Satan’s plots and guard us from him. What a Mother she is!
Paragraph 61 First Truth: Jesus is the last end of devotion to Mary: St. Louis stated that every one of us who is not united to Jesus “shall be fit only to be cast into the fire.” #62 Devotion to Mary is the means of our serving Jesus and loving Him. #67 As St. Louis prays to Jesus he mentions the many titles of Jesus…a time of reflecting on Jesus’ roles. And then the question “Where was I when I was not in Thy mind with Thee?” How often my choices warrant that question!
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.
