PREFACE

With the wealth of devotions recommended to the faithful, many people become confused. They do not see the forest because of the leaves. They may lose sight of true devotion in the pursuance of certain external practices. They may take one leaf and say: "This is the forest." They may be ardently attached to a devotion to Our Lady under one title, such as Mother of Sorrows, Mother of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Fatima, and disparage any other, thereby paying homage to the name rather than to the person, who is identical no matter what the appellation.

The truly devout see that all the leaves belong to the forest; that there is only one Immaculate Mother of God, and many external practices in her honor, many requests of hers lovingly to be obeyed. They seek the person beyond all the titles, and render to her real and true devotion.

This little book is intended to present briefly and simply the essence of true devotion, and an admirable and sure way of rendering that service to the Immaculate Queen. It describes a devotion simple in nature, but all-embracing in its possible external manifestations.
 
May the words of this book draw many to an ever-growing love for Our Lady, a love that will be unwearied in seeking to extend her reign over the hearts of men!
