Let me tell you a story about how my almost getting killed in a car accident in the late 1980s will help your devotion to Mary.
This is embarrassing to admit, but one night I had been out drinking, and decided to drive home.
I was on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, just past the Capitol. I had decided to cut through town, because I knew there was a sobriety check point on the freeway. Although I wasn't drunk, I did have enough to drink which made me fall asleep at the wheel.
My mom's brand-new Renault Alliance jumped the curb, and I woke up instantly. The first thing I noticed was a tree right in front of me. I'm still not sure how I was able to grab the wheel so fast.
As soon as I got the car back on the street, I noticed a police car right in front of me. Fortunately, the officer had missed the whole thing.
Why am I sharing this embarrassing story with you?
It's because that incident still gives me the chills. I would've died if I'd hit that tree, and I would've heard Jesus say to me: "Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels" (Mt. 25:41).
Listen.
Jesus said the Last Times will be the most terrifying times in human history. And that most people won't be prepared when He returns.
"For in those days shall be such tribulations, as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, neither shall be. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved" (Mk. 13:19-20).
This book will prepare you for the Last Times.
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).
Fr. Lhoumeau was an expert at teaching this secret. In this book, he shows you how to use it to prepare for the Last Times with Mary.
The Montfort Fathers said:
"Abbé Antonin Lhoumeau was a man gifted with great talents. Fr. Lhoumeau made an enormous contribution to the spread of Marian spirituality. He wrote books which were very well received."
You don't have to take this path to prepare for the Last Times. 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 the devotion God revealed to him...
"...a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths" (True Devotion, #152).
Final perseverance is the most precious grace that this devotion to Our Lady obtains for you. Because you can't be saved without it.
Jesus said: "He that shall persevere unto the end shall be saved" (Mt. 10:22). That means he who doesn't persevere won't be saved.
St. Louis promises you:
"Our Blessed Lady is the faithful Virgin, who by her fidelity to God repairs the losses which the faithless Eve has caused by her infidelity. It is she who obtains fidelity to God and final perseverance for those who commit themselves to her" (True Devotion, #175).
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 the devil was able to easily convince Eve to act immediately on his diabolical suggestion...
Doesn't it make much more sense for you to act immediately on Jesus' command to be ready for His return: "Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come" (Mt. 24:44)?
