Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin

If you're preparing for your consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Montfort Fathers recommend this book.

They said...

"These meditations are the work of a Montfortian missionary (Fr. Texier), about whom we have said: "He loved the Most Blessed Virgin with the heart of a child; he spoke of her with the heart of his Blessed Father (St. Louis de Montfort).

And they called Fr. Texier "a remarkable spiritual writer".

Therefore, you're getting an authentic explanation of St. Louis' Marian spirituality.

An amazing bonus is, Fr. Texier adds an example from the life of St. Louis to each of the daily meditations, showing you how he lived his consecration to Mary. So, you not only learn how to prepare for your consecration to Mary, you also learn how to live it. You're guaranteed to learn something new, because most of these examples are taken from biographies of St. Louis which haven't been translated into English yet.

Jesus said: "For many are called, but few are chosen" (Mt. 22:14).

When you discover how to prepare for your consecration in union with Mary, she does two things for you which help assure your salvation...

(1) "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" ("The Secret of Mary", #56).

(2) She protects you from the evil one. As St. Louis says: "Where Mary is, there the evil spirit is not" ("True Devotion to Mary", #166).

You read those benefits, and might think, "OK, those sound good." Yet, you may not feel any sense of urgency to obtain them, because you're not conscious of any mortal sins on your soul. But those who worked miracles and cast out demons in Jesus' name weren't conscious of any mortal sins on their souls either. And why would they have been? Surely, if you're working miracles and casting out demons in the name of the Lord, going to heaven is a sure thing, right? Not necessarily.

Because Jesus said they would be spending a miserable eternity with the very demons they cast out.

"Many will say to Me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity" (Mt. 7:22-23).

And what Jesus said about them applies to most other people as well. Because He said...

"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).

What happens is most people don't persevere until the end. If they did, Jesus' words would apply to them: "He that shall persevere to the end shall be saved" (Mt. 24:13).

Since, according to Jesus Himself, your salvation hinges on your persevering to the end, you'll be happy to know St. Louis said, "this devotion to Our Lady is an admirable means of persevering and being faithful in virtue" (True Devotion, #173).

Now, in order to persevere, you have to get started. And today's the best day to begin. Jesus knows how people put things off when dire consequences seem so far away. He knows no one has as much time as they expect. That's why He always insisted on immediate action...

"Watch therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come" (Mt. 12:42).

As you know, the Church calls Mary the "Gate of Heaven", and applies this passage to her...

"He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord" (Prov. 8:35).

Therefore, to become one of the few people who finds Mary, doesn't it make sense to learn how to prepare for your consecration to her by using the proven plan of someone the Montfort Fathers call "a remarkable spiritual writer"?
