“Becoming A Saint Is Supposed
To Be Hard, Right? Wrong!”
To Be Hard, Right? Wrong!”
Dear Marian Devotee,
The following message is for any Catholic who’s serious about deepening their relationship with God…
Along with those who want to live in closest union with Mary, our Mother.
It’s for those who’d finally like to know how to carry out Jesus’ command: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48), because they know in their hearts that “all things are possible with God” (Mk. 10:27).
And if you read this short message in its entirety…
I’m confident it will change your life.

Hi, I’m Casimir Valla…
Inside this message I’m going to share with you the most powerful devotion God has ever revealed.
It goes back centuries, and it’s something someone introduced me to in 1988.
Since then, it’s been the single best thing for my deepening my relationship with God.
So what is this devotion?
It’s a secret God revealed to a 17th century Saint.
A secret the Saint testifies…
“…is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head. One of His members in passing by the same road cannot deceive Himself. It is a perfect road, where there is no mud, no dust, nor the least spot of sin.”
A secret he insists gives you the opportunity to surpass the greatest Saints you’ve read about, without long prayers, rigorous fasts, and heavy penances (I’ll prove that to you inside this letter).
A secret that’s been approved by every Pope who’s ever said or written anything about it.
And because this Saint emphasizes that…
“This devotion is an easy, short, perfect, and secure way of arriving at union with Our Lord, in which the perfection of a Christian consists”...
It’s life-changing for any Catholic who understands it.
And yet…
While he declares that this devotion “…is a short road, which leads us to Jesus in a little time”…
Until now just about every Catholic who’s been enthusiastic about it has gotten nowhere with it.
And yet today, you’re going to get new information so you can crack the code on this secret.

Here’s how you go from good to great in your spiritual life
faster than you ever thought possible…
faster than you ever thought possible…
Like I mentioned above, my name is Casimir Valla.
I’m a former fallen-away Catholic turned expert in Marian spirituality.
If you recognize any of the quotes above, you’ll know the 17th century Saint I’m talking about is St. Louis de Montfort.
His Marian spirituality changed my life.
Hang on!
Before you start thinking, “I already know about his “True Devotion to Mary”…
I can assure you that you don’t know what I’m going to reveal in this letter.
When I first came back to the Church, I didn’t think I needed devotion to Mary.
I was under the illusion that it was better to go straight to Jesus.
And then one day…
I met someone at a Catholic retreat who changed my life.
His name is Bill.
He’s a priest now.
After the retreat talks that day, and everyone had turned in for the evening…
He and I were talking, and he asked me if I prayed the Rosary.
I told him no.
He encouraged me to pray one decade a day.
Which I did.
I saw him a few months later, and told him I was now praying all 5 decades.
He said that was his plan all along: get me to start praying one decade, and Our Lady would take care of the rest.
I remember the exact moment that Our Lady did that for me in St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, DC.
Let’s circle back to the first night I met Bill.
He started telling me all about St. Louis de Montfort’s consecration to Mary.
I learned things about the Blessed Mother I’d never heard before.
That’s when I realized Mary had an important role to play if I was serious about deepening my relationship with God.
Fast forward to December 8, 1989.
That’s when I made my consecration to Mary at St. Thomas More Cathedral in Arlington, Virginia.
And while I felt so happy that night…
As time went on, I felt dejected because I didn’t notice any real difference in my relationship with God after my consecration than before I made it.
Maybe you can relate – trying to get closer to God and feel like you’re getting nowhere.
If that sounds familiar, then definitely keep reading.

If that sounds familiar, then definitely keep reading.
Because here’s the best part…
The part where I took a trip which changed everything.
That’s what I’m going to tell you about today.
Feeling like I was getting nowhere in my consecration to Mary…
I began to reach out to Montfort Fathers around the world who are experts in St. Louis’ Marian spirituality.
The big turning point came for me when I visited the headquarters of the Montfort Fathers in Rome.
I had a private meeting with Fr. Battista Cortinovis.
He’s the Postulator for the Cause to have St. Louis de Montfort declared a Doctor of the Church.
So, he’s got all of the best information about St. Louis and his Marian spirituality.
He gave me some excellent resources, and is directly responsible for my finding many others.
In fact, he gave me a copy of the original manuscript of St. Louis’ “True Devotion to Mary”.
While in Rome, I also had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Etienne Richer of the Community of the Beatitudes.
He did his doctoral dissertation on St. Louis de Montfort, and he gave me a copy of it.
He told me to make use of his extensive bibliography so I could find more resources about St. Louis.
And that’s exactly what I did.
The books I discovered were phenomenal.
Most people have never heard of them, because they’re all in French.
Fortunately, I had taken French in college, and studied it afterwards.
St. Louis de Montfort admitted he left things out of his writings, or only mentioned things briefly…
“I have now said many things about many things about the Most Holy Virgin; but I have many more to say, and there are infinitely more which I shall omit, whether from ignorance, inability, or want of time, in the design which I have to form a true client of Mary, and a true disciple of Jesus Christ” (“True Devotion to Mary”, #111).
And…
“As I have not much time for writing, nor you for reading, I shall say everything as briefly as possible” (“The Secret of Mary”, #2).
The part where I took a trip which changed everything.
That’s what I’m going to tell you about today.

And…
“As I have not much time for writing, nor you for reading, I shall say everything as briefly as possible” (“The Secret of Mary”, #2).
The best thing about the books I discovered is that they fill in the gaps, and solve the problem which St. Louis says is the #1 cause of failure for almost everyone who makes their consecration to Mary.
Here’s St. Louis again…
“As the essential of this devotion consists in the interior which it ought to form, it will not be equally comprehended by everybody. Some will stop at what is exterior in it, and will go no further, and these will be the greatest number.
“Some, in small number, will enter into its inward spirit; but they will only mount one step. Who will mount to the second step? Who will get as far as the third? Lastly, who will so advance as to make this devotion his habitual state?” (True Devotion, #119)
And…
“I have found many people who, with admirable zeal, have adopted the exterior practices of this holy slavery of Jesus and Mary, but I have found only a few who have accepted its interior spirit, and still fewer who have persevered in it” (Secret, #44).
So, if you’ve made your consecration to Mary, and don’t feel like you’ve made much progress, that’s why.
You simply haven’t been shown how to accept the interior spirit of this devotion.
Since St. Louis said most people never get the hang of this devotion which God revealed to him…
I translated all the books I found, and have put them into a collection I call the…

“True Devotion To Mary Series”
It’s made up of ten books.
And it’s the first and only comprehensive collection on St. Louis de Montfort’s Marian spirituality that’s ever been created.
There’s nothing like this on the market.
This Series gives you everything you need to level-up your devotion to Mary as soon as possible.
The books are easy-to-follow.
Now, here’s the thing…
St. Louis calls this devotion to Mary which God revealed to him…
“…a mystery of grace unknown to even the wisest and most spiritual among Christians” (True Devotion, #21)...
...and...
“…a secret unknown to almost all Christians, even the most devout” (True Devotion, #177).
This Series of books gives you everything you need to unearth the treasures of this secret.
Don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what the Montfort Fathers said about just one of the books, the “Commentary on the Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin”…
“The “Commentary on the Treatise on the True Devotion” points out everything the reader must know or remember in order to penetrate completely the immortal masterpiece of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort. It is an essential book for whoever desires to learn the Perfect Devotion.”
And they emphasize that this Commentary (which is 475 pages)…
“…furnishes to readers everything they must know in order to understand and taste the doctrine of Bl. Louis-Marie de Montfort.”

Before I tell you about everything in this Series…
I have to tell you why it’s crucial for you to know this devotion…
...whether you’re consecrated to Mary or not.
And the risks St. Louis says you’re exposed to if you don’t know it.

“Make your calling and election sure” (2 Pt. 1:10).
St. Peter tells you to do everything you can to get to heaven.
As an Apostle, he would’ve been there when the man asked Jesus…
“Lord, are they few that are saved?” (Lk. 13:23)
And he would’ve heard Jesus’ response…
“Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able” (Lk. 13:24).
And he would’ve heard Jesus say…
“Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way that leads to life: and few there are that find it!” (Mt. 7:13-14)
This is more serious than most people think.
Listen to what St. Faustina wrote in her Diary…
“As I was meditating on the sin of the Angels and their immediate punishment, I asked Jesus why the Angels had been punished as soon as they had sinned. I heard a voice: Because of their profound knowledge of God. No person on earth, even though a great saint, has such knowledge of God as an Angel has” (Diary, 1332).
Think about it…
If Satan’s knowledge of God is greater than that of the great saints, then his knowledge of the spiritual life is much greater than anybody else’s as well.
St. Paul warned…
“Satan transforms himself into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14).

St. Paul warned…
“Satan transforms himself into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14).
And as proof of how easily Satan deceives so many people, Jesus told St. Bridget of Sweden…
“Do not be surprised at what I say. If the wisest man in the world could count up how many souls fall into hell each day, they would outnumber the sands of the sea or the pebbles on the shore. This is a matter of justice, because these souls have separated themselves from their Lord and God.
“I am saying this so that the devil’s numbers may decrease, and the danger become known, and My army be filled up. If only they would listen and come to their senses!”
St. Bridget died in 1373. That means that at the time Jesus gave her this message the only Christians on the planet were Catholic, and some orthodox.
Think about that.
Here’s something else…
Most people never consider the possibility that their devotion to Mary may be leading them away from God.
However, St. Louis warns that Satan can even worm his way into your Marian devotion…
“There are at this time, more than ever, false devotions to our Blessed Lady which it is easy to mistake for true ones. The devil, like a counterfeiter and a subtle and experienced deceiver, has already deceived and destroyed so many souls by a false devotion to the Blessed Virgin, that he makes a daily use of his diabolical experience to plunge many others by this same way into everlasting perdition.
“As a counterfeiter does not ordinarily counterfeit anything but gold and silver, or very rarely the other metals, because they are not worth the trouble, so the evil spirit does not for the most part counterfeit the other devotions, but only those to Jesus and Mary, the devotion to Holy Communion, and to our Blessed Lady, because they are, among other devotions, what gold and silver are amongst metals” (True Devotion, #90).

What he’s saying is that there are so many people who mistakenly think they’re going about their devotion to Mary the right way.
And so, many people who were convinced Jesus would say to them…
“Come, blessed of My Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Mt. 25:34)…
Instead hear Him say…
“Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels” (Mt. 25:41).
Can you imagine how terrified you would feel if that happened to you?
To practice what you thought was an authentic devotion to Mary, only to discover you’ve been the victim of a diabolical counterfeit devotion to Mary, and now you have to spend eternity in the “pool of fire” (Apoc. 20:14)?
Yet, St. Louis assures you that this happens to many people.
St. Maximilian Kolbe told his fellow Franciscans, “The devotion taught by Blessed Grignion (St. Louis de Montfort) is ours exactly.”
So, he knew this secret devotion, as well.
And he warned them…
“Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future. The conflict with hell cannot be engaged by men, even the most clever. The lmmaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. However, assumed into heaven, the Mother of God now requires our cooperation. She seeks souls who will consecrate themselves entirely to Her, who will become in Her hands effective instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spreading of God’s Kingdom upon earth.”
Our Lady lamented at Fatima that souls were “falling into hell like snowflakes.”
Picture that.
That’s why she told the three children…
“If men only knew what eternity is, they would do everything in their power to change their lives.”
Can you see why it’s so important for you to know this secret devotion to Mary?
Because without knowing this devotion to Mary, which God Himself revealed, how can you be sure your devotion to her is authentic?
St. James tells us…
“Resist the devil, and he will fly from you” (James 4:7).
It’s hard to resist the devil when you don’t know as much about the spiritual life as he does, as St. Faustina pointed out.
And so, many people who were convinced Jesus would say to them…
“Come, blessed of My Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Mt. 25:34)…
Instead hear Him say…
“Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels” (Mt. 25:41).

“Resist the devil, and he will fly from you” (James 4:7).
It’s hard to resist the devil when you don’t know as much about the spiritual life as he does, as St. Faustina pointed out.
The good news is, once you start to live this devotion which God revealed to St. Louis…
You won’t have to worry.
Because St. Louis assures you that this secret which God revealed to him…
“…is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head. One of His members in passing by the same road cannot deceive Himself” (True Devotion, #168).
“I have never found a practice of devotion to Our Lady more solid than this one, since it takes its inspiration from the example of Jesus Christ. Neither have I found any devotion which redounds more to God’s glory, is more salutary to the soul, and more feared by the enemies of our salvation; nor, finally, have I found a devotion that is more attractive and more satisfying” (“The Love of Eternal Wisdom”, Ch. 17, #2).
“This devotion is an easy, short, perfect, and secure way of arriving at union with Our Lord, in which the perfection of a Christian consists” (True Devotion, #152).
“It is an easy way. It is the way which Jesus Christ Himself trod in coming to us, and in which there is no obstacle in arriving at Him” (True Devotion, #152).
“This practice of devotion to our Blessed Lady is also a perfect path by which to go and unite ourselves to Jesus, because the divine Mary is the most perfect and the most holy of creatures, and because Jesus, Who has come to us most perfectly, took no other road for His great and admirable journey” (True Devotion, #157).
“This devotion to our Blessed Lady is also a secure way to go to Jesus, and to acquire perfection by uniting us to Him” (True Devotion, #159).
“This devotion is a secure means of going to Jesus Christ, because it is the very characteristic of our Blessed Lady to conduct us surely to Jesus, just as it is the very characteristic of Jesus to conduct us surely to the Eternal Father” (True Devotion, #164).
You see his point.
That’s why he emphasizes…
“Oh, how highly we glorify God, when, after the example of Jesus, we submit ourselves to Mary!
“Having, then, before our eyes an example so plain and so well-known to the whole world, are we so senseless as to imagine that we can find a more perfect or a shorter means of glorifying God than that of submitting ourselves to Mary, after the example of her Son?” (True Devotion, #139)
Is all this making sense?
Can you see why this devotion to Mary is the best way to take St. Peter’s advice to make your calling and election sure?
You won’t have to worry.

The reason why Jesus commands you to be perfect as your heavenly Father is because His will is for you to go straight to Heaven without passing through Purgatory.
Most people misjudge the level of holiness needed to go straight into Heaven.
They seem to take Purgatory lightly.
But the Saints most definitely did not.
Here’s what some of them said about Purgatory…
St. Catherine of Genoa: (1) “Better to suffer for a thousand years every woe possible to this body in this world, than to remain one hour in purgatory.”
(2) “But, on the other hand, they endure a pain so extreme that no tongue can be found to tell it, nor could the mind understand its least pang if God by special grace did not show so much.”
(3) “No tongue can tell nor explain, no mind understand, the grievousness of Purgatory. But I, though I see that there is in Purgatory as much pain as in Hell.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church: “There is no doubt that the pains of Purgatory are not limited to ten or twenty years, and that they last in some cases entire centuries.”
Bl. James Alberione: “Regarding the duration of the pains of the suffering souls, we can recall some things which make us think deeply and fear greatly... Absolute duration is one thing, and relative duration is another. The first is the time which the soul really spends in Purgatory; the second is the impression that the soul has of this time. That is, the soul which suffers but briefly believes that it has been suffering for a long time. Many revelations say that only an hour in Purgatory seems longer than a century.”
St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church: “On the other hand, they endure pain so intense, that no tongue is able to describe it. Nor is any mind capable of comprehending the smallest spark of that consuming fire, unless God should show it to him by a special grace.”
St. John Vianney: (1) “The fire of Purgatory is the same as the fire of Hell; the difference between them is that the fire of Purgatory is not everlasting.”
(2) “It is definite that only a few chosen ones do not go to Purgatory and the sufferings there that one must endure exceed our imagination.”
St. Augustine says the fire of Purgatory “will be more painful than anything man can suffer in the present life.”
St. Teresa of Avila said that from her revelations, she knew of only three people who had gone straight to Heaven. One of them was St. Peter of Alcántara.
Don’t get discouraged when you hear that of the few people who are saved, the vast majority of them go to Purgatory.
You have to remember that St. Louis pointed out that this devotion…
“…is one of these secrets of grace, unknown by the greater number of Christians, known even to few of the devout, and practiced and relished by a far less number still” (True Devotion, #82).
He said most of the Saints didn’t know this devotion…
“There have been some Saints, but they have been in small numbers, who have passed by this sweet path to go to Jesus, because the Holy Ghost, faithful Spouse of Mary, has by a singular grace disclosed it to them.
“But the rest of the Saints, who are the greater number, although they have all had devotion to our Blessed Lady, have not on that account, or at least very little, entered upon this way. This is why they have had to pass through harder and more dangerous trials” (True Devotion, #152).

They seem to take Purgatory lightly.

And that’s the reason why, as I mentioned above, St. Louis assures you that you can surpass the Saints.
Here’s his exact words…
“I have said that this would come to pass particularly at the end of the world, and indeed presently, because the Most High with His holy Mother has to form for Himself great Saints, who shall surpass most of the other Saints in sanctity, as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs, as has been revealed to a holy soul, whose life has been written by a great servant of God” (True Devotion, #47).
Don’t be surprised that St. Louis says you can be greater than most of the Saints.
After all, Jesus said…
“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these” (Jn. 14:12).
Doesn’t it make sense that if Jesus says you can do greater works than He did, that you can also do greater works than His Saints?
And the best part is St. Louis says you don’t even have to change your daily routine…
“It would be no wonder if, at the hour of death, it should be found that a person faithful to this practice shall, by the means of it, have delivered many souls from Purgatory, and converted many sinners, though he shall have done nothing more than the ordinary actions of his state of life. What joy at his judgment! What glory in his eternity!” (True Devotion, #172)
Can you imagine what it would be like enter Heaven, and have Jesus give you a place in the heavenly court higher than many of the Saints you’ve read about?
St. Louis insists that’s entirely possible.
And can you imagine the surprised looks on the faces of the people you knew on earth, when they see you in extraordinary glory, when they thought you just lived an ordinary life?

St. Louis acknowledges that there are other roads to Heaven.
But he warns…
“It is true that we can attain to divine union by other roads; but it is by many more crosses and exceptional setbacks, and with many more difficulties, which we shall find it hard to overcome” (True Devotion, #152).
Which means you probably won’t achieve the level of holiness required to avoid Purgatory.
Listen...
God revealed this secret to make your life and journey to Him easier.
That’s why St. Louis reminds you that this devotion “a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths” (True Devotion, #152).
It’s also why he said…
“It is a short road, which leads us to Jesus in a little time” (True Devotion, #168).
And it’s why he insists…
“Jesus gave more glory to God the Father by submission to His Mother during those thirty years than He would have given Him in converting the whole world by the working of the most stupendous miracles. Oh, how highly we glorify God, when, to please Him, we submit ourselves to Mary, after the example of Jesus Christ, our sole Exemplar!” (True Devotion, #18)

Fr. Emil Neubert
Here are 3 more books which you’ll enjoy. They are not part of the Series, but are written in the exact same spirit.
They’re written by the great Marianist Mariologist, Fr. Emil Neubert.
St. Maximilian Kolbe and Frank Duff (Founder of the Legion of Mary) were so impressed with Fr. Neubert’s books, that – independently of one another – they both reached out and struck up friendships with Fr. Neubert.
And they both encouraged everyone to read his Marian books.
St. Maximilian told his fellow Franciscans, “The devotion taught by Blessed Grignion (St. Louis de Montfort) is ours exactly.”
And he said to them about Fr. Neubert: “He has the exact same spirit as we have.”
That means St. Louis de Montfort and Fr. Neubert taught the exact same devotion to Mary.
Furthermore, Pope St. John XXIII told Frank Duff: “The Legion of Mary presents the true face of the Catholic Church.”
And if you’ve ever read the handbook of the Legion of Mary, you know the Legion’s spirituality is based completely on St. Louis de Montfort’s Marian spirituality.
Therefore, both St. Maximilian Kolbe and Frank Duff agree that Fr. Neubert knew this secret devotion to Mary.
Whereas St. Louis taught this secret to everyone in general in his missions, Fr. Neubert wrote books to explain this secret to all states of life.
His three books explain this secret to children, families and teachers.
“Your Heavenly Mom”
“Mary and the Christian Family”
“Mary and the Christian Educator”
Lastly, you’ll discover…
“The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine”
I couldn’t leave this one out, because when Pope Clement VIII named St. Robert a cardinal, he said…
“The Church of God has not his equal in learning.”
And when you remember his quote above about Purgatory, you can rest assured his Marian writings will help you avoid it.

As you read through the various book descriptions, you’ll notice I repeat some of the same things.
That’s because all of the books talk about how to make use of this secret devotion.
They just focus on different aspects of it.
Think of it this way.
Steve Jobs once gave a talk, during which he said…
“Let’s look at automobiles. Compare a Volkswagen Rabbit, a dump truck, and a Mercedes Benz, let’s say. They all have transmissions, they all have engines, four wheels, seats. Basically, they all perform the same basic function: transportation. The difference is emphasis. There’s a difference in emphasis. And that’s what we’re going to look at doing – computers with a different emphasis.”
That’s an excellent way to look at the books in the “True Devotion to Mary Series”.
They all discuss this secret devotion to Mary.
But each book emphasizes a different aspect of it.
So, you’re going to discover everything about this secret devotion, from it’s connection to Baptism, all the way to how to use it to prepare for the End Times with Mary.
And everything in between.

St. Maximilian Kolbe’s 5 Minute Secret To Holiness
You already saw how St. Louis and St. Maximilian knew this secret devotion to Mary
Here’s how St. Maximilian told his fellow Franciscans to get the most out of their Marian reading.
You can use this as well.
Listen…
“We should put into practice what we have read. It is sufficient to dedicate 5 minutes daily to the reading, but be resolute, and do not omit these 5 minutes any day. This will be an assurance of advancement in perfection.
“It will likewise be a healthful nourishment for our souls, because it will serve to give us wings in our flight to the summits of our desired holiness, and a closer union with the Immaculata.”
Now you can see why St. Louis promises you…
“For an egg she (Mary) gives an ox; that is to say, for a little that is given to her, she gives much of what she has received from God” (True Devotion, #181).

“The Wonders Wrought By Mary!”
You’ve seen the dangers of not knowing this devotion to Mary.
The most serious of which, as St. Louis says, is you put your salvation at risk…
…because you never know if your devotion to Mary is authentic.
You’ve also seen how unwise it is to “shoot for Purgatory”…
…and how Purgatory’s no walk in the park.
Now it’s time to show you in more detail what St. Louis promises your life will look like once you put this devotion into practice.
He insists this secret Marian devotion is “more glorious to God, more sanctifying to the soul, and more useful to the neighbor, than any other of the devotions to her” (True Devotion, #118).
As a result, he promises you…
“This devotion, faithfully practiced, is an excellent means of making sure that the value of all our good works shall be employed for the greatest glory of God. Scarcely anyone acts for that noble end, although we are all under an obligation to do so” (True Devotion, #151).
St. Paul told us…
“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31).

“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31).
St. Louis continues…
“This devotion to the Blessed Virgin is a short road to find Jesus Christ, both because it is a road which we do not stray from, and because, as I have said, it is a road we tread with joy and ease, and, by consequence, with speed. We make more progress in a brief period of submission to and dependence on Mary than in whole years of our own will and of relying upon ourselves” (True Devotion, #155).
“Furthermore, after Mary has heaped her favors upon her children and faithful servants, and has obtained for them the benediction of her heavenly Father, and union with Jesus Christ, she preserves them in Jesus, and Jesus in them. She takes care of them, watches over them always, for fear they should lose the grace of God, and fall back into the snares of their enemies” (True Devotion, #212).
“The soul of our Blessed Lady will communicate itself to you, to glorify the Lord. Her spirit will enter into the place of yours, to rejoice in God her salvation, provided only that you are faithful to the practices of this devotion.
“When will souls breathe Mary as the body breathes air? When will that happy time, that age of Mary, come, when souls, losing themselves in the abyss of her interior, shall become living copies of Mary, to love and glorify Jesus? That time will not come until men shall know and practice this devotion which I am teaching” (True Devotion, #217).
“Mary is the great and exclusive mold of God, proper to make living images of God, at small cost and in a little time” (True Devotion, #260).
“He who is cast in this mold is presently formed and molded in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ in him. At a slight expense and in a short time he will become God-like, because he has been cast in the same mold which has formed a God” (True Devotion, #219).

He assures you of Mary’s special protection from Satan…
“The devil, knowing that he has but little time, and now less than ever, to destroy souls, will every day redouble his efforts and his combats. He will presently raise up new persecutions, and will put terrible snares before the faithful servants and true children of Mary, whom it gives him more trouble to overcome than it does to conquer others” (True Devotion, #50).
“Where Mary is, there the evil spirit is not” (True Devotion, #166).
“The third good which Our Lady does to her servants is that she conducts and directs them according to the will of her Son. She shows them the paths of eternal life. There where the guidance of Mary is, neither the evil spirit with his illusions, nor the heretics with their subtleties, can ever come” (True Devotion, #209).
“Mary is the great mold of God, made by the Holy Spirit to form a true God-Man by the Hypostatic Union and to form also a man-God by grace. In that mold none of the features of the Godhead is wanting. Whoever is cast in it, and allows himself to be molded, receives all the features of Jesus Christ, true God. The work is done gently, in a manner proportioned to human weakness, without much pain or labor, in a sure manner, free from all illusion, for where Mary is the devil has never had and never will have access; finally, it is done in a holy and spotless manner, without a shadow of the least stain of sin” (Secret, #17).
“The devil, knowing that he has but little time, and now less than ever, to destroy souls, will every day redouble his efforts and his combats. He will presently raise up new persecutions, and will put terrible snares before the faithful servants and true children of Mary, whom it gives him more trouble to overcome than it does to conquer others” (True Devotion, #50).

The work is done gently, in a manner proportioned to human weakness, without much pain or labor, in a sure manner, free from all illusion, for where Mary is the devil has never had and never will have access; finally, it is done in a holy and spotless manner, without a shadow of the least stain of sin” (Secret, #17).
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results right away, because St. Louis says…
“She is the worker of great wonders, particularly in our soul, but she works them in secret, in a way unknown to the soul itself, for were it to know, it might destroy the beauty of her works” (Secret, #55).
But he promises that eventually…
“Experience will teach you much more about this devotion than I can tell you; and if you remain faithful to the little I have taught you, you will find so many rich fruits of grace in this practice that you will be surprised and filled with joy” (Secret, #53).
“Do not think, dear soul, that Mary, the most fruitful of all pure creatures, who has brought forth even a God, remains idle in a faithful soul. She will cause Jesus Christ to live in that soul, and the soul to live in constant union with Jesus Christ” (Secret, #56).
“Only experience can teach the wonders wrought by Mary, wonders so great that neither the wise nor the proud, nor even many of the devout can believe them” (Secret, #57).

Imagine what your life will look like when Mary…
Assures that all your actions are done for the glory of God…
Puts you on the short road to find her Son quickly and easily…
Preserves you in Jesus and Jesus in you…
Watches over you always, and protects you from the devil…
Communicates her soul to you to glorify the Lord…
Forms and molds you into the image of her Son, and gives you all His features…
Ensures that you live in constant union with Jesus Christ.
When she does all that for you, how could you possibly go anywhere near hell or Purgatory?
Finally, St. Louis confirms…
“The formation and education of the great Saints who shall come at the end of the world are reserved for her. For it is only that singular and miraculous Virgin who can produce, in union with the Holy Ghost, singular and extraordinary things” (True Devotion, #35).
Imagine being one of those.

“This is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Th. 4:3)
God calls us to be Saints, because that’s the best way for us to deepen our relationship with Him.
Since God wants us to become Saints, doesn’t it make sense that we ourselves ought to want it, since it’s our duty to conform our will to His?
St. Louis says this devotion is quite different and special.
He says it…
“…is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head. One of His members in passing by the same road cannot deceive Himself. It is a perfect road, where there is no mud, no dust, nor the least spot of sin” (True Devotion, #168).
When Jesus said, “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt. 5:48)…
…it was with the intention for you to act now…not go away and think about it…or put it off for another day.
If you’re ready to act on His word, and make use of the most powerful devotion to Mary God ever revealed…
…so you can deepen your relationship with God...
