Oct. 12 - "...I turn to you for a moment, dear Jesus, to complain lovingly... " -- St. Louis de Montfort

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Continuing in Chap. 2 of St. Louis de Montfort’s “True Devotion”:

1. Here I turn to you for a moment, dear Jesus, to complain lovingly to your divine Majesty that the majority of Christians, and even some of the most learned among them, do not recognise the necessary bond that unites you and your Blessed Mother. Lord, you are always with Mary and Mary is always with you. She can never be without you because then she would cease to be what she is. She is so completely transformed into you by grace that she no longer lives, she no longer exists, because you alone, dear Jesus, live and reign in her more perfectly than in all the angels and saints. If we only knew the glory and the love given to you by this wonderful creature, our feelings for you and for her would be far different from those we have now. So intimately is she united to you that it would be easier to separate light from the sun, and heat from the fire. I go further, it would even be easier to separate all the angels and saints from you than Mary; for she loves you ardently, and glorifies you more perfectly than all your other creatures put together.

Paragraphs in #64 would carry this post over the word limit and I do not want to leave out any of the saints words for they are so relevant to us today! God willing, I will wait until tomorrow, to pst more. In the meantime, please let us pray with all the saints to Jesus through Mary, and especially ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in the Church to discern His Truth.

Desr OScarlett,

Thanks for your “heart” - it is good to see you again! I’m grateful that you continue to follow the work of St. Louis de Montfort, who was given such tremendous graces by God to help the Church know, and love Mary more and more.

It is such a blessing to read his words and appreciate Mary as the Mother of God’s Incarnate Son, whom Jesus gave us from His Cross to be our Mother . When Jesus said to John, “Behold” your Mother He wanted John and all of us to "see " by Faith her love for Him and His love for her, so that we too might love Him more. Thanks for taking time to read and let us know you liked what you read.
