The Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary presents the spirituality proposed by Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort, centered on the idea that the most perfect way to approach 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 surrender their lives, merits, and actions to God through the hands of Mary. The author argues that this devotion does not distance one from Christ, but rather leads to a deeper union with Him. The book also warns against false devotions and teaches the characteristics of true Marian devotion, such as humility, confidence, love, and perseverance. It is considered one of the most influential texts in Catholic spirituality, having inspired numerous saints and faithful throughout the centuries.
