"True Devotion to Mary" is universally acclaimed as the single
greatest and most theologically authoritative book on the Blessed
Virgin Mary ever to have been written. This work has had a
tremendous impact on a number of the most significant and
influential popes, from the late 19th Century right down to our own
times: (1) Pope Leo XIII beatified de Montfort in 1888, adopted de
Montfort's Mariological terminology (calling Mary the "Mediatrix"
and "Co-Redemptrix"), and wrote no less than ten encyclicals on the
Rosary; (2) Pope Saint Pius X, in 1904, wrote his key Marian
encyclical, "Ad Diem Illum," adopting much of the language and
sentiment of de Montfort's book, "True Devotion," and even granted
the Apostolic Blessing to all who would read de Montfort's great
treatise on the Blessed Virgin (that is, the book you now hold in
your hands ); (3) Pope Pius XII, also a deeply Marian pope,
canonized de Montfort in 1947, raising him to the honors of the
altar; and (4) our beloved Blessed Pope John Paul II, as many know,
took his papal motto, "Totus Tuus," from de Montfort's Latin prayer
of total consecration to the Blessed Virgin, stating that his
reading of "True Devotion" marked a "decisive turning point" in his
life and spirituality that would forever shape his person,
priesthood and papacy. There has even been serious speculation
regarding de Montfort being made a Doctor of the Church Clearly,
this book is the definitive MUST READ for every Catholic Christian

This all-time Marian classic testifies to Saint Alphonsus De
Liguori's profound love for and devotion to Mary, the Mother of
God, as well as his keen awareness of the essential role played by
the Blessed Virgin in the sanctification of souls. His goal, in
this text, is to bring his readers to the awareness of the absolute
necessity of cultivating a deep devotion to the Mother of the
Redeemer, who is additionally our Spiritual Mother. Saint Alphonsus
points out that Mary, being our Mother in the order of grace, has
been entrusted by the Most Holy Trinity with the Maternal duty of
co-operating with her divine Spouse, the Holy Spirit of God, in
giving birth to the Image of Christ in our souls and, subsequently,
nourishing our souls with the milk of divine grace. Herein is
contained a veritable treasury of deeply moving and
devotion-inspiring stories and theological truths concerning the
most loving, most powerful, most merciful and most provident of all
Mothers, to whom all of the great saints possessed a deep devotion,
and without whom souls run the grave risk of falling victim to the
wiles of the Adversary. Aware of the countless subtle and insidious
heresies and false ideologies that even the most learned of
theologians and the most advanced in virtue have succumbed to,
precisely because they chose to dispense with holy Mother Mary, St.
Alphonsus presents her as the sure protection against, and antidote
for, all such attacks on behalf of the Evil One. This work is
divided into two parts: in the first of these, our Saint provides a
phrase-by-phrase, textual analysis of that ancient classic, the
"Salve Regina;" in the second part, the Saint provides the reader
with numerous meditations and reflections on myriad Marian themes -
including her major feasts, her seven sorrows, her virtues, and
practices of popular piety and devotion in her honour. This book
will serve as a marvelous introduction to devotion to the Blessed
Mother, especially for those Christians who have difficulty
understanding why Catholics possess such love, respect and
admiration for the Blessed Virgin, as well as the reason why
Catholic Christians would choose to be escorted into the presence
of Christ the King by His Most Holy and Immaculate Mother Mary.
