HOW TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION IN THE SPIRIT OF TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY Taken from the writing of St. Louis de Montfort, TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY [nos. 270, 273] After Holy Communion, inwardly recollected and holding your eyes shut, you will introduce Jesus into the Heart of Mary. You will give Him to His Mother, who will receive Him lovingly, will place Him honorably, will adore Him profoundly, will love Him perfectly, will embrace Him closely, and will render to Him, in spirit and in truth, many homages which are unknown to us in our thick darkness.   There are an infinity of other thoughts which the Holy Spirit furnishes, and will furnish you, if you are thoroughly interior, mortified and faithful to this grand and sublime devotion which I have been teaching you. But always remember that the more you allow Mary to act in your Communion, the more Jesus will be glorified; and you will allow Mary to act for Jesus and Jesus to act in Mary in the measure that you humble yourself and listen to them in peace and in silence, without troubling yourself about seeing, tasting or feeling; for the just man lives throughout on faith, and particularly in Holy Communion, which is an action of faith: “My just man liveth by faith.” (Heb 10:38).
