One day Saint Jama went into an axe to see and during the sex to see, she asked her Lord for the conversion of an obstinate center, a high ranking Freemason. Our Lord wouldn't hear of it. He told St and Shama he has abused grace too much, his hardened and his evil ways and I've abandoned him, but same channel wouldn't give up. Saving. Jesus saved him. He could to him. Jesus. Don't say that to me and I'm out. That word abandoned sounds bad. I must not say it. Despite all the saint gem as begging, our Lord continued to insist undefined justice saint to him. I didn't give up and replied, I am not seeking.
Speaker 0 01:19 I just Lord, I am employing nine mercy. Jesus going search of that poor center or Lord would not yield. Then our Lord explained to St Jama in perfect detail all the evil deeds of that center and added. That's for that sin. Then the measure of sin had been filled up, but Saint John was still didn't give up. She begged once more for the conversion of the Freemason, but our Lord remained and flexible change. Emma became quiet for a moment and then said, well, I am a sinner and so I um, am unworthy. You should listen to me, but I'm going to go to your mother. Imagine saying no to the mother. Surely Thou cannot say no to her and stuff. Saint Jama turn to our lady. Her spiritual director recorded what happened. Next quote, Jemma with the look of indescribable joy explained, he is saved, he is saved and then she came out of his ex, out of the ecstasy when it was over having withdrawn from my room with my mind and gross by a thousand thoughts, I suddenly heard a tap at my door.
Speaker 0 02:46 A strange gentleman, father was called and wishes to see you. I bade him come in. He threw himself at my feet, sobbing and said, father, hear my confession. Good Lord. I thought my heart would burst. It was Jim, the sinner converted. At that same hour, he accused himself of all that I had heard repeated by her in ecstasy. He's forgotten one thing only and I was able to remind him of it. I consult him, told him what had just happened, and got his leave to narrate these wonders of the Lord. Close quote, this practice conversion reminds is today on the crepes feast of Our Lady of how great and powerful our lady really is. Saint Gregory, the great used to say, quote, nothing resists your power on Mary and your son appears to be fulfilling a duty when he grants your prayers. Close quote, we can easily see the truth there.
Speaker 0 03:59 When we see the case of this Freemason Hardman sin, and yet when our lady asked her son for his conversion, our Lord just couldn't say no. Just think of how incredibly powerful her intercession is. Our ladies influence over. Our Lord is so great that that great they shift and Dr The church, Saint Hillary says, quote, no matter how sinful one may have been, if he has devotion to Mary, it is impossible that he'd be lost. Close quote, no matter how sinful one man fan he has devotion to our lady, it is impossible that he will be lost. How can this be Saint Alphonsus explains quote, Mary is our mother. What mother would not deliver her son from a death sentence if the only dependent on her asking a favor of the judge he can. We think that Mary who loves those devoted to her with a mother's most tender love will not deliver her own children from eternal death.
Speaker 0 05:11 When she can do that so easily. Close quote or lady is the mother of mercy. She's our advocate and she's on hope no matter how Austin. So we've been, if we have devotion to our lady, we can be confident of our salvation. So nothing should stop us from expressing that devotion when we read the lives of the saints. Examples of their devotion to our lady chump out from all this to every page. What can we do? We can put an alter up in our house in honor of our lady or a shrine in our yard. We could cook flower, some sign of her image, your statue. We can wear her miraculous medal. We should say the three hail Marys every morning and every night we should be enrolled in her bound scapular or better yet the five scapulars. We definitely should say I rosary daily. All those are wonderful devotion, but today we're going to talk about the best of ocean.
Speaker 0 06:20 Before talking about this devotion, let's consider a few of the recommendations it has. Hello reading this book was a decisive turning point in my life. This perfect devotion is indispensable to anyone who means to give himself without reserve to Christ until the work every damn shoe. Pope John Paul is second quo, the forest and function of the words that Mary's serving and not only touch the captivated and converted many souls. Oh Pius the 12th quote. I've practiced just the whole ocean ever since my youth, Paul Pius the 11th quote, small in size, but of what creative Doroty and what graves sweetness may be sped evermore and still more and rekindle and Christian spirit in souls and ever growing numbers. Pope Benedict the 15th quote, I hardly recommend true devotion to Mary and to all who read it, I grant the epistolic Benediction, Saint Pius the 10th on his deathbed, Leo the 13th renewed his consecration to the blessed Virgin Mary.
Speaker 0 07:38 And finally, this is the best and most acceptable for me to host to I blasted lady. Bless the Pius tonight. This is the best, the most acceptable for him, of devotion to the blessed mother. So what is it? What is the best and most acceptable for of the devotional blessing lady? The true devotion to Mary, which is explained in the book to the same title written by Saint Louis De Montfort. This is the best, in fact, the difference between this devotion and all the other devotions to Mary and the spirit. It's just like in the spiritual realm, the difference between conventional and thermonuclear war. You can't get any more powerful than this. This is it. This is the limit. Although St Louis Merissa then 170 some pages explaining it was finer points to this devotion, the basic concept, it's really easy to sum up. Being truly devoted to Mary means, depending on her in all things and at all times the foundation of the best and most acceptable devotion.
Speaker 0 08:44 Mary means being dependent on her in all things and all times and St Louis Maria says, are we so senseless as to imagine we can find a more perfect or shorter means of glorifying God than just submitting ourselves to Mary after the example of her son? Close quote, for the sake of time, we'll only consider one of the many reasons St Louis Murray for why this devotion is the best because by this practice we give to our lower through his mother's hands, all our good works so that I are good, are good. Mother purifies them, embellishes them and makes them acceptable to her son. Close quote Saint Louis. Marie explains how our lady does this. He asked us to imagine a poor little peasant who wants to gain this friendship. He could favor of the king, but the very best president he can come up with is a single piece of fruit.
Speaker 0 09:53 That's not exactly overwhelming. A piece of fruit. Kings are probably aren't overly impressed. If you walk in and says, here's an apple king, can you do me a favor? Probably not. It's the St Louis Murray points out, but this is just as if the true devotion is just as fast as present. Takes this piece of fruit to the Queen and gives it to her. Then what does she do? She takes the fruit, posh it up, puts it on a golden dish, and then she herself presents it to the King Dennis St Louis Murray points style because of the golden dish I want you to placed, and the queen who presented it as a piece of fruit become worthy of the majesty of the king. Hold on just one sec.
Speaker 0 10:39 The devil sternum them all up. When you start preaching our lady, this is real typical, so don't be disturbed. It's it's, he's just irritating those little kids. He just say a prayer and it'll quiet down anyway and that's what's going on right now. She don't let him rattle your cage. Okay, so this piece of fruit in itself, big deal, you know, to the king, but because his mother is coming in, the queen comes in with this golden plate and presents it. The king. All right, this is Saint Louis. Murray says, quote, well we present anything to Jesus by ourselves. He examines it and if it's stained with our self love, he oftentimes rejects it. But when we present anything to Jesus by the pier and virtual hands of his mother, he is not considered so much the thing that's given to him as the mother who presents it.
Speaker 0 11:29 Close quote, he's not constrained so much. I request as who is making the request on our behalf and he can't beat that. That's just what we saw with St Gemma as she herself pointed out she was a sinner and so she was unworthy that the good God listened to her. He had every right not to exceed the request, but even though our Lord wouldn't accept her request, he immediately accepted exactly the same request. When she turned to our mother, he came from his mother and he ran it instantly. Now, we can clearly see from that example why the true devotion is the Bestival because by everything that we do or ask passes through our lady's hands to our Lord and our lady is our advocate. That's what we call her in the Hail Holy Queen. Our advocate, she's advocating for us when we asked her to. She's the best of mothers.
Speaker 0 12:27 She hurries to ask our Lord for what we need. She's on hope that besides the pumps we've already mentioned in St Louis, Maria, your mantra, the true devotion, the barrier was practiced among others by doctors. The church, Saint Alphonsus rally is another side of the Tabernacle, Saint <inaudible>, saint Bonaventure saint and some Saint Bernard Salsa practice by St Bernadine, St Lana to Port Morris, Saint Peter, Julian Emar, Saint John Ravini that carry of ours. St gave her custody and the little flower saint about the company you'll be in if you practice this to go shit. Thank you about the company will be in. If you read this book, read the book, take your time, but read this book. At the very least read, he's got a little hit. St Louis knows how people are, so now he does. He have the book. He has a pamphlet. It's a short little pamphlet called the secret of Merrier.
Speaker 0 13:24 It's this book digested for people that are in a hurry. At the very least read the secret of married, busted pies tonight said this is the most pleasing, the best, most acceptable form of devotion to our lady and he knew what he's talking about. His devotion is incredible. The change your life. I speak from personal experience. Anyone that enters into this devotion and really tries to live it, your life will change and you'll be full of hope. Come on, man. Here's something that each one of us needs to ask himself. If Our lady can get her son to instantly, instantly convert and obstinate, abandoned, center like that Freemason and save him from distraction, what will she get her son to do for me? If I practiced the true devotion and voluntarily turn over the handling of my spiritual life to her, if she can give someone like that free mason, he's such a big spiritual boost.
Speaker 0 14:27 What can she do for me if I turned to her now, we're not the only ones thinking about what her lady will do for us if we turn over our spiritual life for the devil. As we've noticed, Austin knows full well that it's impossible for someone truly devoted to Mary to be lost and he also knows full well that the true devotion to Mary is a weapon of mass destruction with to his kingdom. St Louis Murray himself prophesied quo. I clearly foresee that raging beasts or come inferior to tear with the diabolical little teeth, this little writing about true devotion or at least to smother it in the darkness and silence and the coffer that it may not appear close. Quote. This prophecy came true to the exact letter. The manuscript was unknown for 126 years after Saint Louis Emory's death until its fallen and its festival books by monster father.
Speaker 0 15:26 The devil knows who's going to crush his head. He knows. He knows. What are we saying here? We're saying that the saints and the Pope's all love this devotion. The devils all heyday. Well, if the saints and the pubs, I love this devotion and the devil is heyday, it's kind of a no brainer. What we ought to do. Let's close with a reflection from the true devotion to Mary by Saint Louis Marie. Demonic quote, those who practice the true devotion shall be true disciple of Jesus Christ, walking in the footsteps of his poverty, humility, contempt of the world, charity teaching the narrow way of God and pure truth according to the Holy Gospel and not according to the maxims of the world. Troubling themselves about nothing unaffected by others' opinions. No matter how influential they may be, they still have in their mouths the two edge sword of the word of God.
Speaker 0 16:35 They should carry on their shoulders, the bloody standard of the cross, the crucifix and the right hand and the roastery in their left hand. The sacred names of Jesus and Mary in their hearts and the modesty and modification of Jesus Christ and their own behavior. And Mary is the one by the order of the most high shall fashion. Then close quote and let her house in for one may have been if he has a devotion to Mary is impossible and he'd be lost. Those who practice the true devotion will be true. Disciples of Jesus Christ walking in his footsteps, carry on their shoulders, the bloody standard of the cross, the crucifix in their right hand who relish Raymond left the sacred names of Jesus and Mary in their hearts and modesty and modification. If you just Christ and your own behavior. And Mary is the one by the order of the most high shall fashion now married shall fashion now.
