St. Peter Chanel
St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is a special feast day, the memorial of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. St. Louis was born in 1673, and became a Dominican priest who loved the poor, lived humbly and had a great devotion to Our Lady. He wrote "True Devotion to Mary" in which he shared his understanding of Our Lady's role in the latter days, but it was not published before his death. It was found many years later, in 1842 and after much study, was published in 1853. He understood in a prophetic way the role that Our Lady would play in the last days. He was certain she was indispensable to the return of Jesus Christ. He wrote "True Devotion to Mary" to explain Mary's role in the coming of Christ.
One of the things that he said was that Mary would become present to souls, who would become united to her in love. These souls would glorify God in the last days. Here is an excerpt from "True Devotion to Mary" in which he describes those souls who loved Mary:

Communication of the spirit of Mary
217. The soul of Mary will be communicated to you to glorify the
Lord. Her spirit will take the place of yours to rejoice in God, her
Savior, but only if you are faithful to the practices of this devotion.
As St. Ambrose says, "May the soul of Mary be in each one of us to
glorify the Lord! May the spirit of Mary be in each one of us to rejoice
in God!" "When will that happy day come," asks a saintly man of our own
day whose life was completely wrapped up in Mary, "when God's Mother is
enthroned in men's hearts as Queen, subjecting them to the dominion of
her great and princely Son? When will souls breathe Mary as the body
breathes air?"
When that time comes wonderful things will happen on earth. The
Holy Spirit, finding his dear Spouse present again in souls, will come
down into them with great power. He will fill them with his gifts,
especially wisdom, by which they will produce wonders of grace. My dear
friend, when will that happy time come, that age of Mary, when many
souls, chosen by Mary and given her by the most High God, will hide
themselves completely in the depths of her soul, becoming living copies
of her, loving and glorifying Jesus? That day will dawn only when the
devotion I teach is understood and put into practice. Ut adveniat regnum
tuum, adveniat regnum Mariae: "Lord, that your kingdom may come, may
the reign of Mary come!" (N 217 - True Devotion to Mary. St. Louis de
Montfort)
"When will that happy day come???" I believe that that day has come, in
Medjugorje! Our Lady has come to fill us with her soul and spirit, by
teaching us how to love her Son and receive the Holy Spirit. In fact, we
are being "wrapped up in Mary" just like that saintly man St. Louis
described. (I think he was referring to himself!) September 25, 2019 "Dear children! Today I am calling you to pray for my intentions so that I may help you. Little children, pray the Rosary and meditate the mysteries of the Rosary because, in your life, you are also passing through joys and sorrows. In this way, you are transforming the mysteries into your life, because life is a mystery until you place it into God's hands. In this way, you will have the experience of faith like Peter who met Jesus and the Holy Spirit filled his heart. Little children, you are also called to witness by living the love with which, day by day, God wraps you with my presence. Therefore, little children, be open and pray with the heart in faith. Thank you for having responded to my call."
You see, she tells us what God is doing today:
"Little children, you are also called to witness by living the love with which, day by day, God wraps you with my presence."
We are being "wrapped up in Mary", just as St. Louis described. We are those souls who breathe Mary just as the body breaths air!! This is the age of Mary!! She has come down to us and she has chosen us to be living copies of herself.
When St. Louis wrote these words, no one could have imagined Our Lady would actually come to be present in a little village in a remote part of Hercegovina. St. Louis would not have been able to predict such an event. But the fruit is evident now. Many, many souls have encountered Our Lady in Medjugorje, and are now living according to her school, bringing her love and truth to a world so much in need of it.

Thank you St. Louis de Montfort, for boldly writing these prophetic
words, and trusting that even though you would never see them published
and spread throughout the Church in your lifetime, they would one day
be discovered and published when the time was right. Please pray for us,
that in our day we can be faithful to Our Mother and Queen, as you
were, and live her messages with trust so that one day in the future, we
will bear fruit for the salvation of the world.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
