An Old and Divine Holiness: True Devotion to Mary according to St. Louis De Montfort:
I present you with a deep, powerful and highly-fruitful spirituality that is fully approved by the Church. It�s a simple spirituality. You only need to read two writings: True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin (also called True Devotion to Mary) and a letter called The Secret of Mary, in that order. The rest of the Montfort�s books will only deepen your devotion. Re-reading is encouraged.
