Basically, that is true devotion. It is not the person who says the most rosaries and the most litanies, the one who has the greatest number of statues in his home or the one who makes the most pilgrimages that has the greatest devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Understand what I mean: it is good to recite rosaries and make pilgrimages, but what I want you to realize is that true devotion does not reside chiefly in these things. You can do all that, have all that, and not be true devotees of the Blessed Virgin. What makes a devotee of the Blessed Virgin is the accomplishment of what pleases Her. The more we accomplish what pleases Her – and consequently what pleases God – the more we will be Her devotees. The rest is merely the means. Let us return, for example, to the recitation of the rosary, a wonderful prayer that was requested by the Blessed Virgin Herself: we say it precisely to obtain the grace to please God, to meditate on the life of Jesus and Mary, to learn to conform our life to Theirs, in order to resemble Them, imitate Them. That is the purpose of reciting the rosary. 20 MARY, THE SPEEDWAY
