Description

Let me tell you a curious story about the time I visited Mount Thabor, and how that visit will transform your devotion to Mary.

I'll never forget when I first laid eyes on Mount Thabor, where Jesus appeared with Moses and Elijah.

The first thought that came to my mind was that Jesus must have been in terrific shape to have walked up this mountain.

The Saints typically tell you that Moses represents the law and Elijah represents the prophets.

But here's what I got out of the story.

Moses and Elijah were 2 of 3 people in the Old Testament (the other being Jonah) who felt so overburdened with the trials of life, that they asked God to end their lives immediately.

Moses pleaded: "I beseech Thee to kill me, and let me find grace in Thy eyes, that I be not afflicted with so great evils" (Nm. 11:15).

And the Bible tells us about Elijah: "And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul" (1 Kgs. 19:4).

Listen.

I don't know if you've ever felt as overburdened with the trials of life as Moses and Elijah did, but this devotion to Mary will help you in ways no other devotion to her can. Here's why...

St. Louis de Montfort wrote:

"Predestinate soul, here is a secret the Most High has taught me, which I have not been able to find in any book, old or new. I confide it to you, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit" ("The Secret of Mary", #1).

Any devotion to Mary which God reveals has to be the best, because no one can surpass anything He does.

This book spells out for you the whats, whys, and hows of St. Louis' consecration to Mary.

It's also two-books-in-one. The second book is "Why Consecrate Myself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?"

Here's one of the main benefits St. Louis says you get when you practice this devotion to Mary:

"Experience will teach you much more about this devotion than I can tell you; and if you remain faithful to the little I have taught you, you will find so many rich fruits of grace in this practice that you will be surprised and filled with joy" (Secret, #53).

You don't have to take this path to God. But St. Louis warns that any other path will make your life much harder...

"It is true that we can attain to divine union by other roads; but it is by many more crosses and exceptional setbacks, and with many more difficulties, which we shall find it hard to overcome" ("True Devotion to Mary", #152).

On the other hand, he calls this devotion which God revealed to him...

"...a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths" (True Devotion, #152).

And he assures you that this devotion...

"...is a path trodden by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, our sole Head" (True Devotion, #168).

Jesus tells us: "For I have given you an example...so you do also" (Jn. 13:15).

And before that, He said about His Father: "I always do the things that please Him" (Jn. 8:29).

And God the Father tells us:

"This is My most beloved Son; hear ye Him" (Mk. 9:6).

That means any thoughts of ignoring this devotion or of delaying to put it into practice can't possibly come from God. Because God will never tell you to ignore His Son's example or to delay putting into practice a devotion to Mary which Jesus lived.

God gives us this backdrop to human history...

"The Lord God then asked the woman: "Why did you do such a thing?" And she answered: "The serpent deceived me, and I did eat" (Gen. 3:13).

If Eve responded immediately to the suggestion of the devil...

Doesn't it make much more sense for you to start following Jesus just as quickly on the path of this devotion to His holy Mother?
