I am all for healthy devotion; as much as any sane man. However, St. Louis' devotion IS healthy.

According to the Saint Louis de Montfort consecration vow, the person who offers their soul in exchange for the forgiveness of sins agrees with this statement, "I do not deserve to be called Thy child, nor yet Thy slave; and as there is nothing in me which does not merit Thine anger and Thy repulse..."2 This attitude represents an unhealthy and distorted relationship with God that is in direct conflict with the truth found in Sacred Scripture:

Oh please! Christ, the God-man made Himself like unto a salve for us, how much more so should we be humbled and downtrodden for His sake!
