St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort’s Treatise on the True Devotion to the Holy Virgin has
influenced innumerable Christians since its discovery in 1842. These include Mr. Frank Duff, the
founder of the Legion of Mary; Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta, and His Holiness
Pope John Paul II; not to mention the thousands of priests, religious and laity who live their
consecration to Jesus through Mary.

The Echo of God is a most valuable study guide for understanding and living the lifestyle of true
devotion with its simple explanation and application of Grignion de Montfort’s inspired principles
of Marian spirituality—which is always Christocentric! This book contains the full text of True
Devotion complete with commentary, Scripture references and application questions. It is ideal
for individual or prayer group study, seminarian and novitiate formation, and retreat work. It is
also a helpful aid for leaders of prayer groups and those involved in spiritual direction.

The Echo of God is a work which is long overdue and will assist any reader who finds difficulty
in appropriating Grignion de Montfort’s sublime teaching on the role of Mary in the formation of
saints for the latter times.
