True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis-Marie de Monfort (Author): Considered the greatest single book on Mary ever written, this classic shows the way to Jesus through Mary. It sums up the entire Christian life and provides the key both to sanctity and to salvation. Beloved by countless souls; makes lasting devotees. St. Louis De Montfort prophesied that True Devotion to Mary would be the way of life of the great Saints of the latter times. This devotion is destined to change the world!

Saint John Paul II (1978--2005): "The reading of this book was a decisive turning-point in my life. I say 'turning-point,' but in fact it was a long inner journey . . . This 'perfect devotion' is indispensable to anyone who means to give himself without reserve to Christ and to the work of redemption." . . ."It is from Montfort that I have taken my motto: 'Totus tuus' ('I am all thine'). Someday I'll have to tell you Montfortians how I discovered De Montfort's Treatise on True Devotion to Mary, and how often I had to reread it to understand it."

Blessed Pope Pius IX (1846--78): Declared that Saint Louis De Montfort's devotion to Mary was the best and most acceptable form of devotion to Our Lady.

Pope Leo XIII (1878--1903): Granted a Plenary Indulgence to those who make Saint Louis De Montfort's act of consecration to the Blessed Virgin. On his deathbed he renewed the act himself and invoked the heavenly aid of Saint Louis De Montfort, whom he had beatified in 1888.

Pope Saint Pius X (1903--14): "I heartily recommend True Devotion to The Blessed Virgin, so admirably written by [Saint] De Montfort, and to all who read it grant the Apostolic Benediction." . . ."There is no surer or easier way than Mary in uniting all men with Christ."

Pope Benedict XV (1914--22): "A book of high authority and unction."

Pope Pius XI (1922--39): "I have practiced this devotion ever since my youth."

Pope Pius XII (1939--58): "God Alone was everything to him. Remain faithful to the precious heritage, which this great saint left you. It is a glorious inheritance, worthy, that you continue to sacrifice your strength and your life, as you have done until today."

Pope Paul VI (1963--78): "We are convinced without any doubt that devotion to Our Lady is essentially joined with devotion to Christ, that it assures a firmness of conviction to faith in Him and in His Church, a vital adherence to Him and to His Church which, without devotion to Mary, would be impoverished and compromised."

Vatican Council II (1962--1965): 'The maternal duty of Mary toward men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. All her saving influence on men originates not from some inner necessity, but from the divine pleasure. It flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on His mediation, depends entirely on it and draws all its power from it.' . . . 'The practices and exercises of devotion to her recommended by the Church in the course of the centuries [are to] be treasured.'
