What does the devotion do to us? What does it mean to us?
On September 24, 1948 message to Sr. Teresita, Our Lady said: “I want you to consecrate yourselves to me on the 7th of October and become my beloved slaves.” This is the holy slavery to Mary as taught by St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort, imitating Mary who imitated Jesus. Mary is the first disciple of Jesus and she is pointing the way to us, to Jesus. She leads her little ones who in their sinfulness falls too often but with great faith and confidence will continue in the path Our Lady leads us to.
On the messages to Sr. Teresita on September 26, 1948, it says: “Do not forget that my Son is the ‘Way’. If you lose your way He will tell you: ‘Come my little ones and I will lead you on the way to Heaven.’ He says, ‘I am the Truth’. Jesus reminds you that the Holy Spirit will help you to recall to your minds all He taught you and will help you apply His teachings to your everyday life. Then He says: ‘I am your life’. He makes all realize that sin alone will destroy the promised everlasting life, unless you take the thorny and narrow path, carry the cross, follow Him, for at the end of this path is HEAVEN.”
