Ever since its discovery, in 1842, St. Louis De
Montfort’s treatise on True Devotion to Mary has been a
best-seller in the Catholic Church. Rarely has one book
been the butt of so much abuse; rarely has one book
received so many papal commendations! Translated into
some forty or more languages, its popularity far from
decreasing has increased with the years, particularly
with the advent of the Marian age in which we now live.
From the first English translation, by the wellknown English writer, Father Frederick William Faber,
down to our own latest American editions, there has
been a constant concern on the part of the editors to
adapt De Montfort’s style and terminology to the contemporary modes of expression, without in any way
watering down the doctrine or misrepresenting the
author’s thought.
Despite these attempts, however, some still find the
book difficult to understand. Some of the Saint’s words
and expressions, although theologically accurate, are
sometimes misunderstood. Hence, the need for a broader translation, one that will express the saintly author’s
thought in different words and in a style that is popular
and easily understood by the average layman.
For such a difficult task one could hardly be better
qualified than Eddie Doherty, one of America’s finest
and most popular Catholic writers, editor, reporter and
Slave of Jesus and Mary. Undertaken at our request, Mr.
Doherty has made of this a work of love. With the help
of Miss Francoise de Castro, Ph.D., who gave him a
word-for-word translation from the original French, the
writer made the adaptation you now hold in your hands.
Although the student of Mariology and those concerned with getting De Montfort’s thought, as expressed
in the original manuscript, will prefer the standard edition, we feel that Eddie Doherty’s version will open the
way to many other souls by whom De Montfort’s treatise
might otherwise have remained unexplored. We hope
that its fresh, breezy style will lead many more souls to
a better understanding of the De Montfort way of life.
