The Treatise on True Devotion to the Most Holy Virgin Mary presents the spirituality proposed by Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, centered on the idea that the most perfect way to draw near to Jesus Christ is through the Virgin Mary.
The work explains Mary’s role in the plan of salvation and proposes the so-called “total consecration,” in which the faithful offer their life, merits, and actions to God through the hands of Mary. The author argues that this devotion does not lead away from Christ but rather brings about a deeper union with Him.
The book also warns against false devotions and teaches the characteristics of true Marian devotion, such as humility, trust, love, and perseverance. It is considered one of the most influential texts of Catholic spirituality, having inspired many saints and faithful throughout the centuries.
