Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Saint Louis de Montfort (1673–1716) was a French priest whose special devotion to Mary made him one of the earliest writers on the subject of Mariology. After being declined permission to be sent on a missionary to Canada, Saint Louis founded the Company of Mary (the Montfort Fathers), a missionary group of priests with the Blessed Mary as their inspiration. Soon, along with Blessed Marie Louise Trichet, he founded the Daughters of Wisdom, whose mission was to educate poor girls in addition to hospital work. A gifted speaker, Saint Louis quickly gained fame throughout western France for his fervent sermons and teachings.

I found this book to be very surprising. It made me think of Mary in an entirely new way. If you are confused regarding the Catholic view on Mary this will enlighten you. I learned a lot about Mary’s role that I didn’t know prior to reading this book. It brought me closer to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful book
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023

The consecration is beautiful.
The art is beautiful.
The explanation of why devotion to Jesus through Mary is holy and welcomed by Jesus is very, very well written.

St. Louis de Montfort's language is flowery and on point. He understands the objections to Marian devotion, and makes great strides to explain the Catholic view point here. Pair this with Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary: Unveiling the Mother of the Messiah by Brant James Pitre and you have a powerful 1-2 to better understanding biblically based Marian theology.

Finally - a new edition of True Devotion to Mary which combines this celebrated marian work with all the readings necessary to prepare for the initial or renewal of the consecration to Jesus through Mary. For readers well familiar with this work, they will welcome the new look and feel - just beautiful and very well done. But they'll also appreciate the over 130 pages of extra readings to prepare oneself spiritually for the devotion which St. Louis de Montfort describes. This additional material includes several chapters from the Holy Gospel as well as The Imitation of Christ, in addition to all of the prayers recommended by St. Louis de Montfort.

For the uninitiated truly interested in Marian devotion there really is no other book on par with this one. Praised by popes, saints and other holy persons, the book situates Marian devotion within the most effective and humble paths to perfection, well tested over time, and attested throughout the last two thousand years from the earliest fathers and saints of the Church to the most recent approved marian apparitions. Readers of this book have always found that it lays out in a very compelling and progressive manner how to best approach this beloved devotion, pointing out some of the dangerous and erroneous practices that have lead souls astray and created so much misgivings between Catholic and Protestant Christians, and leading the reader ever closer to the true devotion which is tender, honest, cognisant of our own incapacities and ever focussed on the ultimate objective, a perfect union with Jesus.

As has been commented by many, there is a peculiar quality to the book which, despite repeated readings, continues to engage the reader in a lively fashion and challenge the reader to increase their understanding of its spiritual depths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
This book is, itself, an excellent re-ordering of St. Louis Dr Monfort's treatise in that instead of flipping back and forth through the book for the various items you need for each day's devotion, everything you need for a particular day is found, in order, under that day's heading. This transforms a complicated process into a very convenient and easy to follow devotion. I highly recommend this book on that basis alone.

There is a large caveat, however, to wit: whomever prepared the Kindle edition must surely have failed to submit it to a proofreader, as there typos, omissions, and misspellings on every page. This naturally disrupts the flow of reading, which is bad enough for one in prayer, but it also introduces actual error into what the Saint is writing. A revised, carefully corrected edition must be prepared and issued quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing Book and Practice
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is the third copy I own. This particular copy is for a friend who has borrowed mine, and supersedes the copy I ordered elsewhere on back order. I will keep one copy unmarked and the other now I can highlight and write notes in the margins. I much more prefer to use this original Louis de Montfort preparation over the Thirty Three Days to Morning Glory precisely because of the lengthier traditional prayers; and also the translation from de Montfort's late 17th-early 18th c. French. I love this book; the first time I read True Devotion to Mary online; I was floored; completely blown away by the mystical language and visionary style. I've never experienced anything like this since. Thank you for reading this. Ave Maria.

Total Concentration to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort is a perfect book for those seeking growth in holiness and union with Christ, for our Lady is the mould of God, the most perfect instrument of God, the most sweetest and easiest path to Jesus. For it was through her God came to us and it is only through her that we can rightly come to Jesus. Truly without our Blessed Mother I would have never come to our Lord.

This book is a must-have for everyone; if you desire to go deep into your catholic faith, I recommend this book because it's a profound act of consecration to Mary must explicitly state that our ultimate goal and the end is Christ our Lord, immersing in Holy Spirit and consequently resulting in a complete conversion.

If you want to know what it is to consecrate your heart to Mary then this is the apt book. IT also reflects on Mother Mary's journey and her role in discipleship to Jesus. It helps to strengthen our relationship with the Mother of God and through her to get to know her son Jesus better.
