Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin

"3 Reasons Why The Montfort Fathers Recommend You Use This Book To Prepare For Your Consecration To Jesus Through Mary"

Montfort Father Jean-Marie Texier was one of the foremost experts on St. Louis de Montfort's Marian spirituality. He wrote four books on the subject.

The Montfort Fathers said this about him and this book...

"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 there are three things which set this preparation for consecration guide apart.

#1. Fr. Texier included examples from the life of St. Louis from biographies which haven't been translated into English yet. He says...

"Passages drawn from the life of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort have been added to the meditations. They will assist in better understanding his teaching, which he illustrated by his examples."

#2. He also added readings to the meditations. He says: "At the beginning of each part of this Marian month, and also at the end of the daily meditation, the reader shall find several suggested readings."

These readings are taken from the Gospels, the "True Devotion to Mary", St. Alphonsus Liguori's "The Glories of Mary", and "The Imitation of Christ".

This preparation guide will help you accept the interior spirit of this devotion. Fr. Texier explained St. Louis' Marian spirituality so well, that in the history of their religious order, the Montfort Fathers called him "a remarkable spiritual writer".

Blessed Pope Pius IX declared that St. Louis de Montfort's devotion to Mary was the best and most acceptable form of devotion to Our Lady.

Pope Leo XIII granted a plenary indulgence to those who make St. Louis de Montfort's act of consecration to the Blessed Virgin. On his deathbed he renewed the act himself and invoked the heavenly aid of St. Louis de Montfort, whom he had beatified in 1888.

Pope St. Pius X: "I heartily recommend "True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin", so admirably written by Blessed de Montfort, and to all who read it grant the Apostolic Benediction."

Pope Pius XI: "I have practiced this devotion ever since my youth."

And lastly, Pope St. Jo...
