IMPOSTORS

"Just as in the natural order, every child must have a father and a mother, so, in the order of grace, every true child of the Church must have God as Father and Mary as Mother. And whoever boasts of having God as Father, but does not show Mary the tenderness and affection of a true child, will be nothing more than an impostor, whose father is the devil..."

Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort
"The Secret of Mary."

ST. LOUIS MARIE DE MONFORT DIXIT

 

BY THE HAND OF MARY

“With Mary everything is easy. I place all my confidence in her, despite the snarls of the world and thunders of hell. I say with St. Bernard: ‘In her I have placed unbounded confidence; she is the whole reason for my hope. Have these words explained to you for I would not have dared to propose them on my own authority. It is through Mary that I seek and that I will find Jesus, that I will crush the head of the serpent and overcome all my enemies and myself, to the greater glory of God.”

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

MARY’S POWER

“Mary’s power over all demons will shine in a particular way in the end times, when Satan will undermine her heel, that is, her poor slaves and humble children whom she will raise up to wage war against him. These will be small and poor according to the world, as low to all as the heel, trampled and abused as the heel is in comparison to the other limbs of the body. In exchange they will be rich in divine grace, which Mary will communicate to them in abundance; great and elevated in holiness before God; superior to any other creature because of their ardent zeal; and so strongly supported by divine help, that with the humility of their heel, united with Mary, they will crush the head of the devil and make Jesus Christ triumph”.

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

TRUE DEVOTION TO OUR LADY

True devotion to Our Lady is tender; that is to say, full of confidence in her, like a child’s confidence in his loving mother. This confidence makes the soul have recourse to her in all its bodily or mental spiritual necessities, with much simplicity, trust, and tenderness. It implores the aid of its good Mother, at all times, in all places, and about all things; in its doubts, that it may be enlightened; in its wanderings, that it may be brought into the right path; in its temptations, that it may be supported; in its weaknesses, that it may be strengthened; in its falls, that it may be lifted up; in its discouragements, that it may be cheered; in its scruples, that they may be taken away; in its crosses, toils, and disappointments of life, that it may be consoled under them. In a word, in all its evils of body and mind, the soul’s ordinary refuge is in Mary, without fearing to be importunate to her or to displease Jesus Christ.

HOW A TRUE SON SHOULD BE

 Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort, "The Secret of Mary".

SAINT LOUIS MARIE DE MONTFORT DIXIT :

 

WHOEVER PERSEVERES IN THE DAILY PRAYER OF THE HOLY ROSARY WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED, THE DEVILS THEMSELVES HAVE CONFESSED IT

-THE DEVIL WILL PRESENT YOU WITH MANY OBSTACLES SO YOU DO NOT PRAY IT 

 Then, forced by God, the demons said to Saint Dominic: 

“… This Mother of Christ is omnipotent, and can prevent her servants from falling into hell. She, like a sun, dissipates the darkness of our cunning machinations. Discovers our intrigues, breaks our nets and reduces all uselessness our temptations WE ARE FORCED to confess that no one who perseveres in his service condemns with us. 

“A single sigh that she presents to the Holy Trinity is worth more than all the prayers, vows and desires of all the saints We fear her more than all the blessed together and we can do nothing against her faithful servants. 

"Also keep in mind that many Christians who invoke her at death and who should be condemned according to ordinary laws, are saved thanks to her intercession. We have to add, with greater clarity and precision - BOUND by the violence they cause us - that no one who perseveres in the prayer of the Rosary will be condemned. Because she obtains for her faithful devotees the true contrition of sins, so that they may confess them and achieve their forgiveness.” 

 Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary 

WHOEVER HAS GOD FOR THEIR FATHER MUST HAVE MARY FOR THEIR MOTHER

Just as in the natural life, a child must have a father and a mother, so in the supernatural life of grace a true child of the Church must have God for his Father and Mary for his mother. If he prides himself on having God for his Father but does not give to Mary the tender affection of a true child, he is an impostor and his father is the devil.

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

POWERFUL MEANS

 “For myself, I know of no better way of establishing the kingdom of God, Eternal Wisdom, than to unite vocal and mental prayer by saying the holy Rosary and meditating on its fifteen mysteries.”

The Reason for My Hope

"With Mary everything is easy. I place all my confidence in her, despite the snarls of the world and thunders of hell. I say with St. Bernard: ‘In her I have placed unbounded confidence; she is the whole reason for my hope.’ …. Through Mary I will seek and find Jesus; I will crush the serpent’s head and overcome all my enemies as well as myself for the greater glory of God."

The Mark of God's Reprobation

Who does not Have Mary for His Mother, does not Have God for His Father: Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

Our condition of children of Mary is by express will of Jesus, who wanted His Church not to be orphaned, but to have a Mother to love, invoke and imitate, this means we necessarily need to turn to her.

Represented by Saint John at the foot of the Cross, Christ left us as a testament: "Behold your Mother".

The way to reach Christ is through Mary, those who flee from her will not find peace": Saint Bonaventure

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort teaches us on A Treatise on the True Devotion to Mary, p. 284):

“Just as in natural and bodily generation there is a father and a mother, so in the supernatural and spiritual generation there is a father who is God and a mother who is Mary.”

“All true children of God have God for their father and Mary for their mother; anyone who does not have Mary for his mother, does not have God for his father. This is why the reprobate, such as heretics and schismatics, who hate, despise or ignore the Blessed Virgin, do not have God for their father though they arrogantly claim they have, because they do not have Mary for their mother. Indeed if they had her for their mother they would love and honour her as good and true children naturally love and honour the mother who gave them life.”

“An infallible and unmistakable sign by which we can distinguish a heretic, a man of false doctrine, an enemy of God, from one of God's true friends is that the heretic and the hardened sinner show nothing but contempt and indifference for our Lady. He endeavours by word and example, openly or insidiously - sometimes under specious pretexts - to belittle the love and veneration shown to her.”

How to Pray and What Fruits Are Obtained From The Hail Mary by St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort

Brief explanation of the Hail Mary

Are you in the miserable state of sin? Then call on Mary and say to her, "AVE!" which means "I greet thee with the most profound respect, thou who art without sin," and she will deliver you from the evil of your sins.

Are you groping in the darkness of ignorance and error? Go to Mary and say to her, "HAIL MARY!" which means "Hail, thou who art bathed in the light 60 of the Sun of Justice 61," and she will give you a share in her light.

Have you strayed from the path leading to heaven? Then call on MARY, for her name means "Star of the Sea, the Polar Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life," and she will guide you to the harbour of eternal salvation.

Are you in sorrow? Turn to MARY, for her name means also "Sea of Bitterness which has been filled with bitterness in this world but which is now turned into a sea of purest joy in heaven," and she will turn your sorrow into joy and your affliction into consolation.

Have you lost the state of grace? Praise and honour the numberless graces with which God has filled the Blessed Virgin and say to her, THOU ART FULL OF GRACE and filled with all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and she will give you some of these graces.

Are you alone, having lost God's protection? Pray to Mary and say, 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 mutual love, for thou art his Mother. And then say to her, "The three persons of the Godhead are with thee because thou art the Temple of the Blessed Trinity," and she will place you once more under the protection and care of God.

Have you become an outcast and been accursed by God? Then say to our Lady, "BLESSED ART THOU ABOVE ALL WOMEN and above all nations by thy purity and fertility; thou hast turned God's maledictions into blessings for us." She will bless you.

Do you hunger for the bread of grace and the bread of life? Draw near to her who bore the living Bread which came down from heaven, and say to her, "BLESSED BE THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, whom thou hast conceived without the slightest loss to thy virginity, whom thou didst carry without discomfort and brought forth without pain. Blessed be JESUS who redeemed our suffering world when we were in the bondage of sin, who has healed the world of its sickness, who has raised the dead to life, brought home the banished, restored sinners to grace, and saved men from damnation. Without doubt, your soul will be filled with the bread of grace in this life and of eternal glory in the next. Amen."

Conclude your prayer with the Church and say:

"HOLY MARY," holy because of thy incomparable and eternal devotion to the service of God, holy in thy great rank as Mother of God, who has endowed thee with eminent holiness, in keeping with this great dignity.

"MOTHER OF GOD, and our Mother, our Advocate and Mediatrix, Treasurer and dispenser of God's graces, obtain for us the prompt forgiveness of our sins and grant that we may be reconciled with the divine majesty.

"PRAY FOR US SINNERS, thou who art always filled with compassion for those in need, who never despise sinners or turn them away, for without them you would never have been Mother of the Redeemer 62.

"Pray for us NOW, during this short life, so fraught with sorrow and uncertainty; now, because we can be sure of nothing except the present moment; now that we are surrounded and attacked night and day by powerful and ruthless enemies.

"AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH, so terrible and full of danger, when our strength is waning and our spirits are sinking, and our souls and bodies are worn out with fear and pain; at the hour of our death when the devil is working with might and main to ensnare us and cast us into perdition; at that hour when our lot will be decided forever and ever, heaven or hell. Come to the help of your poor children, gentle Mother of pity, Advocate and Refuge of sinners, at the hour of our death drive far from us our bitter enemies, the devils, our accusers, whose frightful presence fills us with dread. Light our path through the valley of the shadow of death. Lead us to thy Son's judgment-seat and remain at our side. Intercede for us and ask thy Son to pardon us and receive us into the ranks of thy elect in the realms of everlasting glory. Amen."

- oOo -

No one could help admiring the excellence of the holy Rosary, made up as it is of these two divine parts: the Lord's Prayer and the Angelic Salutation. How could there be any prayers more pleasing to God and to the Blessed Virgin, or any that are easier, more precious, or more helpful than these two prayers? We should always have them in our hearts and on our lips to honour the most Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ our Saviour and his most holy Mother.

In addition, at the end of each decade it is good to add the Gloria Patri, that is: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

“If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins "you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory." Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell… sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul, if - and mark well what I say – IF YOU SAY THE ROSARY DEVOUTLY EVERY DAY UNTIL DEATH”: St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort.

A "Christian" Who Takes Pride in Having God as a Father, but Refuses to Love the Mother of God and Recognize Her as Our Mother, is an Impostor

Represented by St. John at Calvary, we received as a heritage from Christ on the Cross His own Mother, whom He loved and worshiped very deeply: "When Jesus therefore had seen His mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, He saith to his mother: 'Woman, behold thy son'. After that, He saith to the disciple: 'Behold thy mother'". (Jn. 19, 26-27).
