How An Awkward 17th Century Priest With Zero Social Skills Became One Of The Church's Greatest Saints...And How He May Transform Your Devotion To Mary And Help You Live In The Closest Friendship With God If you would like to develop a much closer friendship with Jesus and Mary very quickly, this may be the most exciting message you will ever read. Here's why... In the 17th century, God chose St. Louis-Marie de Montfort to bring to the world the greatest devotion to Mary that has ever been or ever will be. You know St. Louis mainly for his "True Devotion to Mary" , arguably the greatest book on Marian devotion ever written. But did you know that as great a saint as he was, he had no social skills? Here's what some biographers report from people who knew him: "Here is a man totally lacking in social skills!" "Louis, God knows, has neither worldly graces nor the art of diplomacy." "Every centimeter of his appearance reveals his torment and lack of social skills." "He also gives the impression of being a bit peculiar and somewhat foolish." But as you know, "The Lord looks into the heart" (1 Sam. 16:7). And He revealed a special secret to him. St. Louis wrote... "Predestinate soul, here is a secret the Most High has taught me, which I have not been able to find in any book, old or new. I confide it to you, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit" ( "The Secret of Mary" , #1). St. Louis wrote the "True Devotion to Mary" to teach others this secret. But, due to his lack of social skills, he was kicked out of 7 dioceses. That's why he wrote... "As I have not much time for writing, nor you for reading, I shall say everything as briefly as possible" (Secret, #2). That's where "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God" comes in. Montfort Father Jean-Marie Texier pointed out that St. Louis relied heavily on this book during the little time he had to write the "True Devotion to Mary" ... "The writings of this holy priest (Fr. Boudon) charmed the fervent seminarian (St. Louis) in his free time and gave a lively impulse to his momentum toward the good. But none captivated him as much as "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God" . "It is a rich repertoire from which Montfort drew extensively when he composed his "Treatise on the True Devotion" . One finds, in effect, in the writings of Montfort, the thoughts of Boudon, and sometimes even his expressions." This book goes into extensive detail on many of the things St. Louis briefly touched on. St. Louis assures you that this devotion to Mary 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). And that leads me to my final point, a question really... Are You 100% Delighted With The Devotion To Mary You're Practicing Now? If you can't honestly say "yes" ...if you now realize there's a big opportunity to get closer to God which you've been missing ...if you want to follow in Jesus' footsteps ...and if the opportunity to get closer to Him by living this devotion sounds intriguing... then what do you have to lose? St. Louis knew from his own experience that if you practice this devotion, Our Lady will keep you united to her Son. "She unites them to Him with a most intimate union, and she keeps them unshaken in that union" (True Devotion, #211). If you want to enjoy a much closer friendship with God, then this devotion is the surest way to do it. Because God revealed it, nothing works faster or better . And because God wants you to enjoy the closest possible friendship with Him as fast as possible, why not discover how others have done it using St. Louis' approach.
