There is no better way to advance quickly in holiness, no better way to please God, and no better way to guarantee one's present sanctity and eternal salvation than the true devotion to Mary.

Does Our Lady purify our intentions?

St Louis de Montfort seems to think so. In True Devotion no. 145 he says

§ 1. She purifies them [our good works] of all the stain of self-love, and of that imperceptible attachment to created things which slips unnoticed into our best actions. As soon as they are in her most pure and fruitful hands, those same hands, which have never been sullied or idle and which purify whatever they touch, take away from the present which we give her all that was spoiled or imperfect about it.

But specifically regarding our own intentions, he says in no. 222 that

Since you do everything through the Blessed Virgin as required by this devotion, you naturally lay aside your own intentions. You abandon yourself to Our Lady's intentions even though you do not know what they are.

At the beginning of 145 he notes the caveat "if he is perservering [in this true devotion, I think]" so one still needs to be actively ensuring his devotion is not a false one.
