Background: Always a pious child and especially devoted to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, when the brilliant St. Louis de Montfort (A.D. 31 January 1673 - 28 April 1716) reached the age of 19, he gave away all he had and resolved to live on alms.

Psalm 49:14-15 &quot;Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.&quot; 





The Most Common Votives



Ex voto offerings most often take the form of the lighting of candles, the placing of flowers or pictures before icons, and leaving thank-you notes, money, or little tokens on or near the altars or statues of Saints in churches, shrines, or family altars.

			<description> Introduction of St. Louis-Marie



	1. It was through the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus came into the world, and it is also through her that he must reign in the world.



2. Because Mary remained hidden during her life she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church &quot;Alma Mater&quot;, Mother hidden and unknown. So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.



3. In answer to her prayers  ...</description>

 Neccesity of Devotion to Our Lady



	



1. Mary's part in the Incarnation



14. With the whole Church I acknowledge that Mary, being a mere creature fashioned by the hands of God is, compared to his infinite majesty, less than an atom, or rather is simply nothing, since he alone can say, "I am he who is". Consequently, this great Lord, who is ever independent and self-sufficient, never had and does not now have any absolute need of the Blessed Virgin for the accomplishment of  ...</description>

1. Basic principles of devotion to Mary



60. Having spoken briefly of the necessity of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, I must now explain what this devotion consists in. This I will do with God's help after I have laid down certain basic truths which throw light on the remarkable and sound devotion which I propose to unfold.



First principle: Christ must be the ultimate end of all devotions

			<description> The Perfect Consecration to Jesus Christ

	



1. A complete consecration to Mary



120. As all perfection consists in our being conformed, united and consecrated to Jesus it naturally follows that the most perfect of all devotions is that which conforms, unites, and consecrates us most completely to Jesus. Now of all God's creatures Mary is the most conformed to Jesus. It therefore follows that, of all devotions, devotion to her makes for the most effective consecration and conformity  ...</description>

			<description> Motives Which Recommend This Devotion 





 1. By it we give ourselves completely to God



135. This first motive shows us the excellence of the consecration of ourselves to Jesus through Mary.



We can conceive of no higher calling than that of being in the service of God and we believe that the least of God's servants is richer, stronger, and nobler than any earthly monarch who does not serve God. How rich and strong and noble then must the good and faithful servant be, who serves  ...</description>

			<description> The Biblical Figure of this Perfect Devotion:  Rebecca and Jacob 





	183. The Holy Spirit gives us in Sacred Scripture, a striking allegorical figure of all the truths I have been explaining concerning the Blessed Virgin and her children and servants. It is the story of Jacob who received the blessing of his father Isaac through the care and ingenuity of his mother Rebecca.



Here is the story as the Holy Spirit tells it. I shall expound it further later on.

1. Knowledge of our unworthiness



By the light which the Holy Spirit will give you through Mary, his faithful spouse, you will perceive the evil inclinations of your fallen nature and how incapable you are of any good apart from that which God produces in  ...</description>

1. Exterior Practices



226. Although this devotion is essentially an interior one, this does not prevent it from having exterior practices which should not be neglected. &quot;These must be done but those not omitted.&quot; If properly performed, exterior acts help to foster interior ones. Man is always guided by his senses and such practices remind him of what he has done or should do. Let no worldling or critic intervene to assert that  ...</description>

2) Renounce your corrupt nature and dispositions, no matter how good self-love makes them appear to you.



3) Renew your consecration saying, &quot;I belong entirely to you, dear Mother, and all that I have is yours.&quot;
