“If devotion to the Blessed Virgin is necessary for all men simply to work out their salvation, it is even more necessary for those who are called to a special perfection. I do not believe that anyone can acquire intimate union with our Lord and perfect fidelity to the Holy Spirit without a very close union with the most Blessed Virgin and an absolute dependence on her support.” IfsMenBelieveChristianSpiritPerfectLordSupportSpecialHolyPerfectionAbsolutesBlessedSalvationUnionsWork OutDevotionIntimateHoly SpiritAcquireDependenceVirginsOur LordFidelityHoly Mary Author:Louis de Montfort

“In recent years my understanding of God had evolved into increasingly remote abstractions. I'd come to think of God in terms like Divine Reality, the Absolute, or the One who holds us in being. I do believe that God is beyond any form and image, but it has grown clear to me that I need an image in order to relate. I need an image in order to carry on an intimate conversation with what is so vast, amorphous, mysterious, and holy that it becomes ungraspable. I mean, really, how to you become intimate with Divine Reality? Or the Absolute?” ThinkingNeedsYearsBelieveMeanRealityFormOrderUnderstandingTermClearDivineHolyConversationAbsolutesMysteriousRelateIntimateAbstractionIntimate Conversation Book:Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France Source: Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France
