Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Two days from now, on Sept. 8, we will celebrate the Feast of The Nativity of Mary. By God’s Grace, hopefully we can begin a journey of 33 days, on that Feast Day, sharing parts of St. Louis de Montfort’s little book - “True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin”.(Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin | EWTN) (See:Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin | EWTN)

Some who have read this book may want to renew their Consecration to Jesus through Mary also, following the pattern St. Louis explains in his book. This morning I began to re-read Part 1, Chapter 1 and decided to post paragraph 55:

Finally, God in these times wishes His Blessed Mother to be more known, loved and honored than she has ever been. This will certainly come about if the elect, by the grace and light of the Holy Spirit, adopt the interior and perfect pefect practice of the devotion which I shall later unfold. Then they will clearly see that beautiful Star of the Sea, as much as Faith allows. Under her guidance they will come safely to port in spite of storms and pirates. They will perceive the splendors of this service as subjects and slaves of love. They will experience her motherly guidance and affection for her children. They will love her tenderly and will appreciate how full of compassion she is and how much they satnd in need of her help. In all circumstances they will have recourse to her as their advocate and mediatrix, with Jesus Christ. They will see clearly that she is the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus and will surrender themselves to her, body and soul, without reserve in order to belong entirely to Jesus.

You can read this book at: Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin | EWTN

God willing tomorrow’s,excerpt from this book will further encourage us to celebrate our Mother’s “Birthday” on Sept 8 and set out on our journey to give ourselves totally to Jesus through Mary. Come Holy Spirit, fill us as you filled Mary with Jesus. Amen.

Dear Michie and Joined 2 Krist, so sorry to be late getting to reply to yesterday's post. Today was a very busy one. Here is what I wrote for today (Sept. 7):

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This beautiful Picture and Quote which Mark added to yesterday’s post on “True Devotion to Mary” was so beautiful I wanted to share it with as many as I could. Mark is a faithful member of a Forum on which I write about Mary. I don’t believe I’ve read this Quote before but St. Louis de Montfort 's signature is below it, so it certainly grabbed my attention.​

Tomorrow is the Feast of Our Mother Mary’s Nativity - and only God knew His Plan for her and for us. Let us with great Love and respect, listen to God’s plan also given to us through His inspiration for St. Louis to write all He heard from God for the Church of his time and for our time to hear.​



In his little book on “True Devotion to Mary” and the 33 Day Journey this saint offers to us, a plan of 33 days divided into Periods - First: 12 preliminary days employed in "casting off the spirit of the world which is contrary to that of Jesus Christ." Then Week 1 - “Knowledge of self”; Week 2 - "Knowledge of Mary " and finally Week 3 - “Knowledge of Jesus Christ”.
Which adds up to 33 days.​

By God’s Grace, let us begin tomorrow on “Mary’s Birthday” to give ourselves totally to Jesus as Mary did by listening to Him as He speaks to us tomorrow in His Sacred Word and as St. Louis de Montort listened and learned to love Jesus through Mary and to share what he learned with the Church in his time and in every time to come.​

Sorry I'm late sending this As I told Mark (writing on Mary is my Legion “work”). I needed to run some errands important to our Legion of Mary’s celebration in our parish – Mary’s Birthday is Sept. 8th - and the beginning of Her Legion began on the evening of Sept. 7 - the vigil before the Feast of Her Nativity. What a glorious gift Our Mother is! Come, Holy Spirit fill us with Jesus as you filled Mary. Amen.

Thanks MariaChristi!
Thanks, Joined2krist! We cannot love our Mother Mary enough! Today is her birthday and how God must delight in her! We honor Him when we honor her, for she is His perfect creation of a human Mother for His Incarnate Son by the power of the Holy Spirit. She is for us, Mother and Model for the Church. Please let us pray for one another and for the Church -- so many neglect her -- Jesus loved her and May we continue to love as He loves, always. MariaChristi.
