A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin or True Devotion to Mary is considered the greatest book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever written and has been recommended and practiced by eight Popes. This is the original ‘scrupulously faithful’ translation by Reverend Frederick William Faber, D.D.. The great Marian Pope, Blessed Pope John Paul II practiced this Devotion to Mary, in his Letter to the Montfort Fathers he says:

“A work destined to become a classic of Marian spirituality was published 160 years ago. St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote the Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin at the beginning of the 1700s, but the manuscript remained practically unknown for more than a century. When, almost by chance, it was at last discovered in 1842 and published in 1843, the work was an instant success, proving extraordinarily effective in spreading the “true devotion” to the Most Holy Virgin.”

“My motto; ‘Totus Tuus’ is inspired by the teaching of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. These two words express total belonging to Jesus through Mary: ‘Tuus totus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt,’ St Louis Marie wrote, and he translates his words: ‘I am all yours, and all that I have is yours, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, your most holy Mother’ (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 233). This Saint’s teaching has had a profound influence on the Marian devotion of many of the faithful and on my own life. It is a lived teaching of outstanding ascetic and mystical depth, expressed in a lively and passionate style that makes frequent use of images and symbols.”

“All our perfection,” St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort writes, “consists in being conformed, united and consecrated to Jesus Christ; and therefore, the most perfect of all devotions is, without any doubt, that which most perfectly conforms, unites and consecrates us to Jesus Christ. Now, Mary being the most conformed of all creatures to Jesus Christ, it follows that, of all devotions, that which most consecrates and conforms the soul to Our Lord is devotion to his holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to Mary, the more it is consecrated to Jesus.” (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 120)

“When we praise her, love her, honour her or give anything to her, it is God who is praised, God who is loved, God who is glorified, and it is to God that we give, through Mary and in Mary.” (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 225)

Saint Louis-Marie Grignon De Montfort was a Catholic Priest and Missionary in Brittany and Vendee, France. He was born in Montfort-sur-Meu in 1673 and died in 1716. He was canonized by Pius XII in 1947. His feast day is on April 28th. He is considered one of the early proponents of the field of Mariology as it is known today, and a candidate to become a Doctor of the Church.

💕 I ordered two of them and as soon as they arrived, I knew that I needed to share this joy with my friends (just bought more!). I bought the paper cover and I absolutely loved!!! The design, layout, colors...It looks so beautiful and (believe me) it feels great. I mean, the paper has a very unique texture 🤗 I'm so excited to start reading this book. It feels like I'm getting ready for a Spiritual Retreat 🍃🙏🏼. Thank you Catholic Way Publishing

good old fashioned, unapologetic devotion. Smasher of anti-Marian heresy and kindles a love for Jesus and His mother.

Do, however, pair with a more thorough 33-day prep, like Fr. Gaitley's if you're doing that. The one that is included at the end is supplementary, not original to de Montfort (he didn't write one out), and the 33-day prep is too important to leave un-explicated.

One thing that I liked about this edition of Montfort's work is the quality of the print and its clear subject lines.

It made this work very easy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece and a beautiful edition
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017

I bought the hardcover edition published by Catholic Way publishing. I had older TAN paperbacks which fell apart. It's worth it to go ahead and pay more for the hardcover. It is a beautiful, shiny book that seems like it will hold up well. I like that the Faber translation is used. I like the illustrations and the prefaces. I like that it includes the prayers to become totally consecrated to Jesus through Mary, which is a more than wonderful thing. I don't like that these books--and the TAN edition is the same way--add requirements for total consecration which go beyond what St. Louis wrote. So if there are too many readings and prayers, go back into St. Louis's own words in the book (True Devotion to Mary) itself and know that you need only follow these to the best of your ability. For example, during the first 12 days, St. Louis gives no requirements beyond praying to cast off the spirit of the world. He gives no specific readings requirements or prayers. Yet people have added certain readings and prayers, which is fine, as long as people know they are not required. But still, these readings and prayers are wonderful if people are able to do them, and this book and this devotion is wonderful beyond words for those who really want to do God's will in Jesus, through Mary.

Have taken my time with this book, (mostly picking it up here and there as my toddler won't allow for any consecutive amount of time to read) and I have enjoyed it. I keep it around the house and it allows me to connect to our Heavenly Mother during my day to day.

I'm almost done with my devotion and this is truly a beautiful book. Everything is nice as far as the writing is concerned (obviously).

I'd like to add, the book layout for this larger form is very nice! Everything is much more organized vs. The smaller print size. 11/10!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2018

It is a great grace to be able to read from the heart, True Devotion to Mary! A gift from God for which none of us will ever be worthy. St. Louis de Montfort teaches us what Totus Tuus actually means: the complete giving of ourselves and all that we possess interiorly and materially and all who live in our hearts, to Jesus through Mary. This means that with great love and complete confidence and absolute joy, we hand over everything to Mary, so that we become Her property and possession...and then,... we allow Her to mold our lives as She knows best, with total loving trust in Her immeasurable love for us! What will She do? She will gently take us by the hand to lead us on the path of holiness, in a knowledge of Her Son Jesus. And the more we know Him, the more we will love Him and give ourselves to His Will for us, without wanting anything in return, except the joy of knowing that we have let go of ourselves WITHOUT FEAR to Him through Her. Furthermore, She will teach us to do all things IN Her, THROUGH Her, WITH Her and FOR Her, so that it is no longer we who live, but Mary's Spirit alive in us to adore Our Lord.
I challenge you all to be brave in love for Our Lady, so that you might receive a joy beyond comprehension in this life. Do not allow the enemy of our souls to tempt you to think that you will insult Jesus by loving Mary too much. No - He is glorified by our love and trust in His Masterpiece, Mary Immaculate, Our Mother and His! No one could love Mary more than Jesus!
