General Description:

The montfort path is the same one which Wisdom took to enter the human family: the Immaculate Mary. Her spirit permeates every aspect of Father de Montfort's staunchly Christ-centered doctrine. To be bathed in her spirit is the turning point of our advance into a renewed baptismal consecration of union with the triune God.

The key, then, to an understanding of montfort spirituality is to grasp that this vagabond saint is unreservedly - madly -, the world would say - in love with Love Itself, who becomes enfleshed through Mary's "Yes."...

"Too long has this treasure been hoarded. This Handbook is published so that all, most especially Montfort's beloved laypeople, can share in this saint's evangelical vision. Its appearance marks an important moment not only in the history of the communities Saint Louis de Montfort founded, but for the faithful throughout the world."
- Patrick Gaffney, S.M.M., from his Introduction

"St. Louis de Montfort has had a remarkable influence on the Church...and bids fair to have a much wider influence in the years to come. His preaching, his writing, and his conversation were all impregnated with prophecy and with anticipations of the later ages of the Church."
- Fr. Fredrick Faber

Imprimatur: Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin - Archbishop of Hartford.

Profile
Born poor. Studied in Paris, and ordained in 1700. While a seminarian he delighted in researching the writings of Church Fathers, Doctors and Saints as they related to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom he was singularly devoted.

Under Mary's inspiration, he founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Wisdom, a religious institute of women devoted to the care of the desititute. During this work, he began his apostolate of preaching the Rosary and authentic Marian devotion. He preached so forcefully and effectively against the errors of Jansenism that expelled from several dioceses in France. In Rome Pope Clement XI conferred on him the title and authority of Missionary Apostolic, which enabled him to continue his apostolate after returning to France. He preached Mary everywhere and to everyone. A member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic, Saint Louis was one of the greatest apostles of the Rosary in his day, and by means his miraculously inspiring book, The Secret of the Rosary, he is still so today; the most common manner of reciting the Rosary is the method that originated with Saint Louis's preaching. In 1715, he founded a missionary band known as the Company of Mary.

His greatest contribution to the Church and world is Total Consecration to the Blessed Virgin. He propagated this in his day by preaching and after his own death by his other famous book True Devotion to Mary. Consecration to Mary is for Saint Louis the perfect manner of renewing one's baptismal promises. His spirituality has been espoused by millions, especially Pope John Paul II, who has consecrated not only himself but every place he has visited as pope. In True Devotion to Mary, Saint Louis prophesied that the army of souls consecrated to Mary will be Her instrument in defeating the Devil and his Antichrist. As Satan gains power in the world, so much more shall the new Eve triumph over him and crush his head.

The cause for his declaration as a Doctor of the Church is now being pursued.
