Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Code:
We are nearing the end of this second week in which we are seeking a deeper knowledge of our Mother Mary. St. Louis encourages us in today's reading:
Code:True Devotion To the Blessed Virgin Mary: Nos. 213–222
Code:213. My dear friend, be sure that if you remain faithful to the interior and exterior practices of this devotion which I will point out, the following effects will be produced in your soul:
Code:By the light which the Holy Spirit will give you through Mary, his faithful spouse, you will perceive the evil inclinations of your fallen nature and how incapable you are of any good. Finally, the humble Virgin Mary will share her humility with you so that, although you regard yourself with distaste and desire to be disregarded by others, you will not look down slightingly upon anyone.
Code:214. Mary will share her faith with you. Her faith on earth was stronger than that of all the patriarchs, prophets, apostles and saints.
Code:215. The Mother of fair love will rid your heart of all scruples and inordinate servile fear.
Code:216. Our Blessed Lady will fill you with unbounded confidence in God and in herself: 1) Because you will no longer approach Jesus by yourself but always through Mary, your loving Mother.
Code:217. 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.
Code:218. If Mary, the Tree of Life, is well cultivated in our soul by fidelity to this devotion, she will in due time bring forth her fruit which is none other than Jesus.
Code:222. If you live this devotion sincerely, you will give more glory to Jesus in a month than in many years of a more demanding devotion.
Code:
I underlined that which is most important to me, for I truly want to "live" this devotion to glorify God.
Please let us continue to pray for one another, and for all in need of His Mercy.
