"5th Wonderful Effect of "True Devotion"

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

There is so little apparent interest in the Mother of God in the world today! Continuing to post on “Wonderful effects of True Devotion” nevertheless is worth doing for God’s Glory and the honor of our Mother Mary:

5. Communication of the spirit of Mary

1. The soul of Mary will be communicated to you to glorify the Lord. Her spirit will take the place of yours to rejoice in God, her Saviour, but only if you are faithful to the practices of this devotion. As St. Ambrose says, “May the soul of Mary be in each one of us to glorify the Lord! May the spirit of Mary be in each one of us to rejoice in God!” “When will that happy day come,” asks a saintly man of our own day whose life was completely wrapped up in Mary, “when God’s Mother is enthroned in men’s hearts as Queen, subjecting them to the dominion of her great and princely Son? When will souls breathe Mary as the body breathes air?” When that time comes wonderful things will happen on earth. The Holy Spirit, finding his dear Spouse present again in souls, will come down into them with great power. He will fill them with his gifts, especially wisdom, by which they will produce wonders of grace. My dear friend, when will that happy time come, that age of Mary, when many souls, chosen by Mary and given her by the most High God, will hide themselves completely in the depths of her soul, becoming living copies of her, loving and glorifying Jesus? That day will dawn only when the devotion I teach is understood and put into practice. Ut adveniat regnum tuum, adveniat regnum Mariae: “Lord, that your kingdom may come, may the reign of Mary come!” ( From Chapter 6, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin by St. Louis de Montfort)

By God’s Grace, may many more souls open to the Holy Spirit to receive His Spouse and become more like her Who is both Mother and Model for the Church!

Dear Greenfields,

Thanks for your “heart” indicating you liked the post. I’d be grateful, if, when you have time, you could share “why you liked it” . Has it been your own experience in some way to open yourself to the Holy Spirit so that Mary is “Queen of your heart” ? It may help others if more than myself would share even a little bit of what God accomplishes in souls who give themselves into the care and nurture of Mary, our Mother.

Mary is not only our Mother but God through His Church has declared her to be the Model for His Church – for all His children to see her perfection that they may know their own call to holiness in the Body of Christ.
