I Have Given You the Example

I Am Mary's Son Because I Willed It

Contemplate and Admire

My Mother, Your Mother

Part II - Requirements of the Ideal

Jesus: My brother, I have shown you the ideal; I am now going to show you what it requires. You have followed Me with joy up till now. Follow Me henceforth with joy still, but above all with love and generosity. It is no longer a matter of merely contemplating and admiring your Model; the question now is how to reproduce His characteristic traits. I am going to indicate them to you one by one. But you will reproduce them only very imperfectly unless you have learned to deny yourself and to love.

Appendix

Consecration to Mary

Entire consecration to Mary constitutes an essential element of filial and apostolic devotion to Mary considered as a participation in the filial love of Jesus towards His Mother as taught in this book. It is therefore important to make this consecration a memorable event in one’s existence and the starting-point of a new life.
