“Chosen Soul, here is a secret that the Most High has taught me, and which I have never been able to find in any book, either ancient or modern. I confide to you by the Holy Ghost, on condition...”

God is pressing for a greater, a wider, a stronger devotion to His Blessed Mother. I cannot think of a higher work or a broader vocation for anyone, than the simple spreading of this peculiar devotion of Bl. Grignon de Montfort. Let a man but try it for himself, and his surprise at the graces it brings with it, and the transformations it causes in his soul, will soon convince him of its otherwise almost incredible efficacy as a means for the salvation of men, and for the coming of the Kingdom of Christ. O, if Mary were but known, there would be no coldness to Jesus then! O, if Mary were but known, how much more wonderful would be our faith, and how different would our Communions be! O, if Mary were but known, how much happier, how much holier, how much less worldly should we be! and how much more should we be living images of our sole Lord and Saviour, her dearest and most blessed Son!

May the Holy Ghost, the Divine Zealot of Jesus and Mary, deign to give a new blessing to this work; and may He please to console us with the speedy coming of that great age of the Church which is to be the Age of Mary!
