To Jesus through Mary

Visit the forum of this group.
Group created by De_Montfort

This is a group for those who wish to go to Christ through his loving Mother. It follows the spirtuality of St. Louis de Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe."They will see clearly that she is the safest, easiest, shortest and most perfect way of approaching Jesus and will surrender themselves to her, body and soul, without reserve in order to belong entirely to Jesus."

"Now of all God's creatures Mary is the most conformed to Jesus. It therefore follows that, of all devotions, devotion to her makes for the most effective consecration and conformity to him. The more one is consecrated to Mary the more one is consecrated to Jesus. That is why perfect consecration to Jesus is but a perfect and complete consecration of oneself to the Blessed Virgin."
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"Mary was created only for God, and it is unthinkable that she should reserve even one soul for herself. On the contrary she leads every soul striaght to God and to union with him. Mary is the wonderful echo of God. The more a person joins himself to her, the more effectively she unites him to God. When we say 'Mary' she re-echoes 'God". When, like St. Elizabeth, we call her blessed, she gives the honor to God."
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"Let us not imagine, then as some misguided teachers do, that Mary being simply a creature would be a hindarnce to a union with the Creator. Far from it, for it is no longer Mary who lives but Jesus Christ himself, God alone, who lives in her. Her transformation into God far surpasses that experienced by St. Paul and other saints, more than heaven surpasses the earth."
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"But whatever gifts this sovereign and lovable Queen bestows upon us, she is not satisfied until she has given us incarnate Wisdom, Jesus her Son; and she is ever on the look out for those who are worthy of Wisdom, so that she may give him to them."
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"Mary presents our good works to Jesus. She does not keep anything we offer for herself, as if she were our last end, but unfailingly gives everything to Jesus. So by the very fact we give anything to her, we are giving it to Jesus. Whenever we praise and glorify her, she immediately praises and glorifies Jesus. When anyone praises and blesses her, she sings today as she did on the day Elizabeth praised her, 'My soul glorifies the Lord.'"
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"Mary scarcely appeared in the first coming of Jesus Christ. Because she kept herself hidden in this world and in her great humility considered herself lower than dust. But in the second coming of Jesus Christ, Mary must be known and openly revealed by the Holy Spirit so that Jesus may be known, loved and served through her. The reasons which moved the Holy Spirit to hide his spouse during her life and reveal but little of her since the first preaching of the gospel exist no longer. God wishes therefore to reveal Mary, his masterpiece, and make her more known in these latter times."
(St. Louis de Montfort)

"The Mother of God cannot lead us anywhere except to the Lord Jesus."
(St. Maximilian Kolbe)

"Jesus was the first to honor her as His very Mother and we must imitate Him also in this. We will never, as much as we try, love Her with a love equal to that which Jesus loves her."
(St. Maximilian Kolbe)

"Do you forget that not only does Jesus reside and dwell perpetually in Mary's heart, but that He is in truth the heart of her heart and the soul of her soul; and that therefore coming to the heart of Mary means to honor Jesus and to invoke her heart is to invoke Jesus?"
(St. John Eudes)

    Hail Mary full of grace "the Lord is with Thee, in a nobler and more intimate way than he is with the saints and the just, because thou art one with Him, He is thy Son and his Flesh is thy Flesh; thou art united to the Lord because of thy perfect likeness to him and by your mutal love, for thou art his Mother"

    ACT OF DEDICATION TO OUR LADY

    Most holy, immaculate Virgin Mary,
    to Your motherly heart Jesus entrusted his disciples
    and to us He has given You.
    I thank You, O most beautiful and noble of women,
    that You have always loved me as a mother,
    and I want to provide afresh for You an honored place in my life.
    Obtain for me from Jesus
    the gift of a new beginning and a new heart:
    a heart open and obedient to God's Word;
    a heart simple as a child's;
    a heart bold in sacrifice;
    a chaste heart;
    a thankful heart;
    a compassionate heart;
    a heart like Yours,
    O Mary.
    Enfold in Your mercy, dear Mother,
    all my dear ones especially....(pause)
    and all who have a special claim to Your help

    -children and young people,
    -the sick and the suffering,
    -the forgotten and the poor of this world.

    Join Your prayers to our petitions
    for those who do not cease to be Your children
    even though they have abandoned the faith and fallen into sin.
    May a remembrance of Your love and beauty
    touch their hearts at depths we can not reach.
    As at Pentecost,
    so now pray for the Church;
    pray for our parish,
    our priests,
    our Brothers and our Sisters,
    and for all of us,
    who strive to serve others in the name of Jesus, Your Son.
    With all generations,
    we will ever call You blessed, O Mary,
    our Mother of Perpetual Help,
    for God, the Almighty,
    has indeed done great things for You,
    and You have been and are so gracious to us:
    O clement, O loving,
    O sweet Virgin Mary.

    Amen.

    PRAYER OF ACCLAMATIONS TO MARY

    O gracious and beautiful Heaven,
    more vast than the heavens themselves,
    for they cannot contain God,
    Who is immense, but He concealed Himself in Thy womb;
    O richest of all treasures,
    in which was deposited the treasure of our redemption;
    O Mother of sinners,
    under Whose mantle we are defended;
    O consolation of the world,
    in which all who are afflicted, infirm, and disconsolate,
    find consolation;
    O beautiful eyes, which steal hearts;
    O coral lips, which imprison souls;
    O generous hands, filled with lilies,
    and which always distribute graces;
    O pure creature. Who appearest a God,
    and Whom I should have taken for a God,
    had not faith taught me that Thou art not so,
    although Thou hast a splendor,
    and I know not what of Divine sovereignty;
    O great Lady, empress of Heaven,
    enjoy for a thousand eternities the greatness of Thy state,
    the immensity of Thy greatness,
    and the happiness of Thy glory,
    We only beseech Thee,
    O compassionate Mother, not to forget us,
    who glory in being Thy servants and children,
    And since in Thee are deposited all graces,
    and the best and most privileged of all created things,
    grant, O Lady, that we,
    Thy devout children,
    may be favored more beyond comparison
    than are all other men on earth,
    The whole world should know that the dear children of Mary
    are the best of Heaven and earth:
    they are the spoilt children,
    who enjoy all the choicest possessions of their Mother;
    they are the beloved Benjamins,
    who, being caressed in the bosom of the Queen of Heaven,
    are doubly favored
    and doubly caressed by the Majesty of God,
    This I hope, O most beautiful Rachel;
    and this I am confident that Thou wilt do,
    O sovereign Princess,
    in the name of what Thou art, do it;
    for all Heaven prostrate at Thy feet beseeches Thee,
    and with importunity asks it of Thee.
    Say only yes, pronounce only a loving consent;
    be it done, be it done, fiat, fiat!

    O men, of what are you thinking?
    How can you love earthly, deceitful, and lying creatures,
    which betray you and cause you to lose your souls,
    your bodies, Paradise, and God!
    And why do you not love the most loving,
    the most amiable,
    the most faithful Mary, Who,
    after having enriched you with consolations and graces in this life,
    will obtain you from Her Divine beloved Son
    the eternal glory of Paradise?

    O Mary, Mary more beautiful than all creatures,
    lovely after Jesus above all loves,
    more dear than all created things,
    gracious above every grace,
    pity this miserable heart of mine;
    miserable because it does not love Thee;
    and it ought to love Thee.
    Thou canst inflame it with Thy holy love.
    Turn, O Mary, Thy loving eyes upon me;
    look at me, and draw me to Thee;
    and grant that after God I may love no other but Thee,
    most gracious, most amiable Mary,
    Mother of Jesus,
    and my Mother.

    Amen.

    A NIGHT PRAYER TO OUR BLESSED MOTHER


    Night is falling dear Mother, long day is o'er;
    Before Thy image I am kneeling once more
    To thank Thee for keeping me safe this day,
    To ask Thee this night to keep evil away.

    Many times have I fallen Mother dear;
    Many graces neglected since last I knelt here;
    Wilt Thou not in pity, my own Mother Mild,
    Ask Jesus to pardon the sins of Thy child?

    I am going to sleep now, day's work is done;
    Its hours and its moments have passed one by one.
    God Who will judge me, has counted them all;
    He has numbered each grace, He has counted each fall;

    In His book they are written against the last day.
    Oh! Mother Ask Jesus to wash them away.
    For one drop of His Blood for sinners was spilt,
    Is sufficient to cleanse the world of its guilt.

    And if er' the dawn I should draw my last breath;
    The sleep I take be the long sleep of death;
    Be near me Mother for dear Jesus' sake.
    When at eternity shore my soul shall awake.

    Amen.

    ACT OF DESIRE

    My soul, the happy hour is arrived;
    Jesus comes to dwell in my poor heart.
    Behold the King of heaven,
    thy Redeemer and thy God,
    coming to thee;
    prepare thyself to receive Him with love;
    say to Him with the most ardent desire:
    Come, O my Jesus,
    come to me:
    I desire to receive Thee,
    before Thou dost give Thyself to me,
    I desire to give Thee my miserable heart;
    accept it,
    come and take full possession of it.
    Come, my God, make haste;
    do not delay.
    I would wish to receive Thee
    with that love with which the most holy and loving souls,
    with which Immaculate Mary received Thee.
    With their Communion I unite this Communion of mine.
    Most holy Virgin, my Mother, Mary,
    behold I am going to receive Thy Son.
    I would wish to have Thy heart,
    and the love with which Thou didst communicate:
    give me this morning Thy Jesus,
    as Thou gavest Him
    to the shepherds and to the Magi.
    I wish to receive Him from Thy most pure hands;
    tell Him that I am Thy servant,
    and that I am devoted to Thee;
    and when He comes to me,
    He will look on me with a more loving eye,
    and will unite Himself more closely to me.

    Amen.

    CONSECRATION TO MARY

    My Queen and my Mother,
    I give myself entirely to You;
    and to show my devotion to You,
    I consecrate to You this day my eyes,
    my ears, my mouth, my heart,
    my whole being without reserve.
    Wherefore, good Mother,
    as I am Your own,
    keep me, guard me,
    as Your property and possession.

    Amen.

    THE PRAYER MOTHER OF SWEETNESS

    Mother of Sweetness,
    the faith and love with which Thou giveth Thy Divine Son
    urges me to open my heart to the love of Thy heart
    so that the sweetness of Thy Mother's love may touch me deeply.
    May the sweetness of Thy heart cause me
    to share with others Thy love for Jesus.

    When I meditate on the mysteries of Jesus Christ
    in the most Holy Rosary,
    ever-Virgin Mother Mary,
    reveal to me the sweetness of Thine own Immaculate Heart.

    Amen.

    PRAYER TO THE MOTHER OF SORROWS

    Ah, my Blessed Mother,
    it is not one sword only with which I have pierced Thy heart,
    but I have done so with as many
    as are the sins which I have committed.
    Ah, Lady, it is not to Thee,
    Who art innocent,
    that sufferings are due, but to me,
    who am guilty of so many crimes.
    But since Thou hast been pleased to suffer so much for me,
    ah, by Thy merits,
    obtain for me great sorrow for my sins,
    and patience under the trials of this life,
    which will always be light in comparison with my demerits;
    for I have often deserved Hell.

    Amen.

    PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP

    Mother of Perpetual Help,
    You have been blessed and favoured by God.
    You became not only the Mother of the Redeemer,
    but Mother of the redeemed as well.
    We come to You today as Your loving children.
    Watch over us and take care of us.
    As You held the Child Jesus in Your loving arms,
    so take us in Your arms.
    Be a mother ready at every moment to help us.
    For God Who is mighty has done great things for You,
    and God's mercy is from age to age
    on those who love God.
    Intercede for us, dear Mother,
    in obtaining pardon for our sins,
    love for Jesus,
    final perseverance,
    and the grace always to call upon You,
    Mother of Perpetual Help.

    Amen.
