 General Description:

  The writings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort are of great interest today for many reasons.  First, because they are centered on Christ, Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom.  Second, because they focus attention on the importance of  Mary's role in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church-a subject of renewed interest both within the Catholic Church and other Christian churches.  Third, because they embody a form of "Marian Spirituality" that goes far beyond mere Marian devotion, as Pope John Paul II pointed out in his Marian Year encyclical:  St. Louis Marie de Montfort "proposes consecration to Christ through the hands of Mary, as an effective means for Christians to live faithfully their baptismal commitments."  Fourth, because they reflect the thinking and pastoral experiences of a man of  vision whose writings have a definite prophetic ring relative to the latter times.  They likewise reflect his unusually profound understanding of the Scriptures concerning Christ, Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom, as well as his own personal discovery of Mary, the "easy, short, perfect and sure way" to obtain full possession of Divine Wisdom in our souls.  In a sense, we can say that his writings have revolutionized the whole concept of true devotion to Mary by presenting it as a way of life...

This is the softcover edition. The hardcover is now out of print.

Patron Of: Preachers

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.
