THE TRUE DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (HARDBOUND)

This book is published by Baronius Press.  For this edition, Baronius Press has the book re-typeset using the text of the 1947 edition originally published by The Father's of the Company of Mary, Colbury, Totton under the imprimatur of Johannes Henricus, Epus Portus Magni, May 21, 1947.

It considers The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin as one of the greatest and most celebrated books ever written about Our Lady. Praised by popes, mystics and theologians, this profound and powerful book presents Mary as the essential and infallible key to the heart of Jesus. Nowhere will you find a deeper and more life-changing book on that quintessentially Catholic doctrine: the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the Christian and the life of the Church.

This book was unpublished during the life time of its author, St. Louis-Marie De Montefort.  It has enjoyed the endorsement of the many outstanding popes the Church has been blessed with since its discovery in 1842. John Paul II, in particular, was its tireless champion, crediting True Devotion with a turning-point in his spiritual life, adopting his motto, Totus tuus, from St. Louis. 

The key to De Montfort's Marian spirituality is that he considered Our Lady to be the infallible and chosen gate to the heart of Christ – To Jesus through Mary: it is Christ Himself Who is at the centre of True Devotion.
