Vera Devozione a Maria – Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“True Devotion to Mary – Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...
What does it mean to have true devotion to Mary? St. Louis de Montfort offers deep insights into how we can form a relationship with Our Blessed Mother. Interior: True devotion must flow from the heart, rooted in love and reverence for Mary. Tender: Like a child trusting a loving mother, her help is sought with simplicity and confidence. Holy: This devotion should inspire the imitation of Mary’s humility, faith, purity, charity, and patience. Constant: It keeps one firm in spiritual practices, ensuring unwavering commitment. Disinterested: True devotion is selfless, loving Mary not for what can be gained, but for her worthiness as God’s chosen. One of the most beautiful expressions of Marian devotion is the Rosary, or “Crown of Roses.” Each Hail Mary is like offering Mary a rose, and a complete Rosary forms a crown. The Rosary is more than a recitation; it is a contemplative prayer. As St. John Paul II said, “Whoever recites it is united to Mary in meditating the mysteries of Christ.” "Through the Rosary, Mary guides her devotees through life's challenges, deepening their experience of Jesus' life. Devotion to Mary is often misunderstood, with concerns it might detract from love for Jesus. However, just as loving those dear to someone amplifies love for that person, devotion to Mary deepens love for Christ. The saints offer clear examples: *St. John Paul the Great found that Marian devotion leads directly to Christ: “Christ leads us to His Mother.” *St. Thérèse of Lisieux stated, “Do not be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her enough.” *St. Maximilian Kolbe boldly affirmed, “You can never love her more than Jesus did.” To seek a deeper relationship with Christ, it is necessary to embrace His Mother. Mary’s guidance leads directly to her Son, revealing the fullness of His love. "To seek a deeper union with Christ, embrace His Mother and the love she embodies in this painting."
