Devoting all I can to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary
A beautiful prayer: **Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, I renew my consecration to you and your Immaculate Heart. Please accept me, my dear Mother, and use me as you wish to accomplish your designs upon the world. I am all yours, my Mother, my Queen, and all that I have is yours. **
This comes from the concept of being a
Slave of Jesus through Mary. We give Jesus through Mary
all the value of our good works, prayers and actions for their noble purposes and ask them to do with us as they wish as we serve them to the best of our ability. I first learned about this concept in
True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis Mary de Montfort but the devotion has been practised long before he wrote about then even by such as St. Bonaventure. St. Louis Mary de Montfort might be a man fearsome in his service to Jesus through Mary and worthy of profound imitation.
See some of his biographies:
thesacredheart.com/sts/montfor.htm and
catholicism.org/louis-de-montfort.html . Reading his works and his life gave me greater insight into the life of Christ and the significance of Scripture - for example, the close connection between the Cross (containing shards of the
Tree of Life) and Eden, as well as the parallel between the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane.

The most famous disciples of
True Devotion to Mary are probably either His Holiness Pope John Paul II who wrote
Reflections on True Devotion to Mary by His Holiness Pope John Paul II
michaeljournal.org/montfort.htm or Polish Saint Maximilian Maria studied philosophy, theology, mathematics, and physics as a college student, before earning a doctorate in philosophy and a doctorate in theology in Rome, while suffering from tuberculosis. He became a priest, changed his name to Maria from Kolbe to venerate the Immaculate Heart of Mary, sheltered 2,000 Jews in his friary during the Holocaust, and when taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp offered to die in place of another man since that man had family and he did not as an abstinent fiar. During his time in the cell, he led the men in songs and prayer. Finally, after three weeks of dehydration and starvation, he was injected with carbolic acid and died. He is reported on the Jewish Virtual Library as Righteous Among the Nations. It shows that no matter how dire the situation God can continue to strengthen us.
