This is the original âÇÖscrupulously faithfulâÇÖ 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, âÇÖTotus TuusâÇÖ is inspired by the teaching of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. These two words express total belonging to Jesus through Mary: âÇÖTuus totus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt,âÇÖ St Louis Marie wrote, and he translates his words: âÇÖI am all yours, and all that I have is yours, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, your most holy MotherâÇÖ (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 233). This SaintâÇÖs 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
