Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I hope you are continuing to read one another’s replies as I do because each person brings so much of God’s grace into our conversation. Each sincere gift of self offered to God for the good of others is so fruitful for the building up of the Body of Christ!
In the last paragraph of Chapter One of True Devotion, in which St. Louis describes those devoted to Mary in the latter days, he wrote:
Mary our Mother and Model, pray for us.
St. Louis de Montfort, pray for us.
Jesus, we trust in you!

In the last paragraph of Chapter One of True Devotion, in which St. Louis describes those devoted to Mary in the latter days, he wrote:
- Lastly, we know they will be true disciples of Jesus Christ, imitating his poverty, his humility, his contempt of the world and his love. They will point out the narrow way to God in pure truth according to the holy Gospel, and not according to the maxims of the world. Their hearts will not be troubled, nor will they show favour to anyone; they will not spare or heed or fear any man, however powerful he may be. They will have the two-edged sword of the word of God in their mouths and the blood-stained standard of the Cross on their shoulders. They will carry the crucifix in their right hand and the rosary in their left, and the holy names of Jesus and Mary on their heart. The simplicity and self-sacrifice of Jesus will be reflected in their whole behaviour.
On this First Saturday of the Month of October, the month specially dedicated to the Rosary, let us thank God with our whole hearts for His Love given to us in Jesus through Mary and ask for the graces we need to “rid ourselves of the spirit of the Lord” and be more like the true disciples of Jesus, St. Louis deMontfort describes and as he himself lived on this earth! Let us offer reparation to Mary’s Immaculate Heart as Jesus requested through Sister Lucia of Fatima.Such are the great men who are to come. By the will of God Mary is to prepare them to extend his rule over the impious and unbelievers. But when and how will this come about? Only God knows. For our part we must yearn and wait for it in silence and in prayer: “I have waited and waited.”
Mary our Mother and Model, pray for us.
St. Louis de Montfort, pray for us.
Jesus, we trust in you!
