Synopsis

To find the grace of God, we must discover Mary.

Described as "authentic Marian spirituality" by Pope John Paul II, this short but powerful work will lead you on the path to perfect consecration to Jesus Christ through the hands of his mother, Mary--for she "has a precise place in the plan of salvation."

In this down-to-earth handbook, Saint Louis de Montfort provides excellent recommendations for both interior and exterior practices of devotion, and carefully explains the wonderful effects that this consecration can bring about in your life. This little-known devotion truly frees the soul, giving it the freedom of the children of God. You will find many fruits of grace. You will be surprised. And you will be filled with joy.

"You must use this secret for your own growth in holiness and for the saving of your soul. It will help you only if you use it. The more you use it the more it will help you."

This is a message desperately needed in our day, and for this reason--and at the request of the Montfort Missionaries--St. Louis' classic work has been adapted for modern times by popular contemporary journalist, Eddie Doherty.

This audio edition of The Secret of Mary is read by Father Jim Duffy, a long-time priest of the Madonna House Apostlate who is has dedicated all of his priestly life to making consecration to Jesus through Mary known. His own great love for the Mother of God shines through this presentation.
