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: Par 87- 89 - Fifth Truth
"We need Mary in order to preserve the graces and treasures we have received from God." This section is worth its weight in gold and is a most perfect prelude into the false devotions section (which MaryJo just referred to). I read and re-read Par 87-89 where St Louis unfolds much about the temptations that come from outside of ourselves - the world, the flesh and the devil. Mary is the remedy! In summation by Fr Harlow - "The decisive fault by which we succumb to temptation is our lacking in humility." Again - Mary is the model and remedy! (Don't skip this section no matter how far behind you feel you are!)Ruth - PLEASE don't close or forego this blog - I look forward to the next Reading List to be posted. Keep us going - and growing!

Thanks for the encouragement. I will post the next list tonight or tomorrow. Do you like the pace? I have tried to keep the reading sections short to allow more time to reflect on them and to encourage more prayer surrounding them.
Good pace - seems to be prayerfully wrought - thank you!
