True and false devotion to Mary

[Monica4316]

I’ve been thinking about something recently…

how do you tell between true and false devotion to our Blessed Mother?

I came up with a little list and I was wondering what you think as well…

true devotion to Mary is:

• in line with Church teaching (so no condemned apparitions, no collyridianism, etc. We must understand who Mary is)
• brings us closer to Jesus (if it’s not centered on God, it’s a delusion, because the real Mary wants to glorify God in everything that she does)

from St Louis de Montfort:
true devotion is

• interior
• trustful
• holy
• constant
• disinterested

False devotion is:
-critical
-scrupulous

• superficial
• presumptuous
  -inconstant
• hypocritical
• self-interested.

Do you have examples of how these work? I’m having trouble trying to imagine them.
