“Here is a secret, chosen soul, “ St. Louis de Montfort writes in The Secret of Mary Unveiled to the Devout Soul, “which the most High God taught me and which I have not found in any book, ancient or modern. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, I am confiding it to you… use this secret to become holy and worthy of heaven…” Total consecration to Mary is, for Saint Louis, the supreme method of renewing one’s baptismal promises. His rich and inspiring approach to Marian spirituality has been espoused by millions, including Pope John Paul II, who consecrated not only himself but every place he visited as pope to Our Lady. Saint Louis prophesied that it will be through the army of human souls consecrated to Mary that she will secure final victory over the Devil and his Antichrist. The Secret of Mary unveils to every devout soul a sure path to holiness, and to securing one's place amongst the consecrated forces of the Holy Mother of God.
