To find the grace of God, we must discover Mary. Described as "authentic Marian spirituality" by Pope John Paul II, this short but powerful work will lead you on the path to perfect consecration to Jesus Christ through the hands of his mother, Mary--for she "has a precise place in the plan of salvation." In this down-to-earth handbook, Saint Louis de Montfort provides excellent recommendations for both interior and exterior practices of devotion, and carefully explains the wonderful effects that this consecration can bring about in your life. This little-known devotion truly frees the soul, giving it the freedom of the children of God. You will find many fruits of grace. You will be surprised. And you will be filled with joy. "You must use this secret for your own growth in holiness and for the saving of your soul. It will help you only if you use it. The more you use it the more it will help you." This is a message desperately needed in our day, and for this reason--and at the request of the Montfort Missionaries--St. Louis' classic work has been adapted for modern times by popular contemporary journalist, Eddie Doherty. This audio edition of The Secret of Mary is read by Father Jim Duffy, a long-time priest of the Madonna House Apostlate who is has dedicated all of his priestly life to making consecration to Jesus through Mary known. His own great love for the Mother of God shines through this presentation.

True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is one of the greatest and most celebrated books ever written about Our Lady. Praised by popes, mystics and theologians, this profound and powerful book presents Mary as the essential and infallible key to the heart of Jesus. Nowhere will you find a deeper and more life-changing book on that quintessentially Catholic doctrine: the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the Christian and the life of the Church. Unpublished during the saint's life time, it has enjoyed the endorsement of the many outstanding popes the Church has been blessed with since its discovery in 1842. John Paul II, in particular, was its tireless champion, crediting True Devotion with a turning-point in his spiritual life, adopting his motto, Totus tuus, from St. Louis. 
 The key to De Montfort's Marian spirituality is that he considered Our Lady to be the infallible and chosen gate to the heart of Christ - To Jesus through Mary: it is Christ Himself Who is at the centre of True Devotion.

If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins "you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory" (1 Pet. 5:4). Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul, if - and mark well what I say - if you say the Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins. In this book there are several stories of great sinners who were converted through the power of the Rosary. Please read and meditate upon them.

The Secret of Mary

After telling us only to share this secret with those who have earned it by their prayers, Saint Louis de Montfort then says: "Faithful soul, living image of God, redeemed by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, it is the Will of God that you be holy like Him in this life and glorious like Him in the next. Your sure vocation is the acquisition of the holiness of God; and unless all your thoughts and words and actions, all the sufferings and events of your lifetend to that end, you are resisting God by not doing that for which He has created you and is now preserving you." And then de Montfort tells us: "It all comes to this, then: that you shouldfind an easy means for obtaining from God the grace necessary to make you holy; and this means I wish to make known to you. Now, I say that to find this grace of God, we must find Mary.!" What good advice from the author of the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary in the book, 'A Treatise On The True Devotion To The Blessed Virgin', which should be a companion of this work. The method of making the consecration is outlined at the end of this work. Saint Louis describes the holy slavery of love, which we should have in order to become Saints. By this consecration we act through, with, in and for Mary. The Blessed Virgin Mary acts through us as her slaves. And what sweeter slavery can there be than this? "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."
