"Whom God would make a very holy, very devoted to the Virgin Mary."
(St. Louis de Montfort)



is the founder of parents Montfort and the Sisters of Wisdom. Born in Montfort, France, in 1673. The eldest of a family of eight hijosDesde very young was a great devotee of the Blessed Virgin. At 12 years and people saw him spending time on his knees before the statue of the Mother of God. Before going to school in the morning and after school in the afternoon, going to kneel before the statue of Our Lady and there was as ecstatic. When he left the temple after de haber estado rezando a la Reina Celestial, sus ojos le brillaban con un fulgor especial.

Luis no se contentaba con rezar. Su caridad era muy práctica. Un día al ver que uno de sus compañeros asistía a clase con unos harapos muy humillantes, hizo una colecta entre sus compañeros para conseguirle un vestido y se fue donde el sastre y le dijo: "Mire, señor: los alumnos hemos reunido un dinero para comprarle un vestido de paño a nuestro compañero, pero no nos alcanza para el costo total. ¿Quiere usted completar lo que falta?". El sastre aceptó y le hizo un hermoso traje al joven pobre.

El papá de Luis María era sumamente colérico, un hombre muy violento. Psychologists say that if Montfort had not been so extremely devoted to the Virgin Mary, would have been an angry man, despotic and arrogant because he was the temperament he had inherited from his father. But nothing soothes roughness both male and goodness and kindness of a holy woman. And this was what saved the temperament of Louis. When his father burst into fits of bad temper, the young man took refuge there in lonely places and prayed to the Virgin amiable, Mother of the Lord. And it makes him throughout his life. In its 43 years, when misunderstood, persecuted, insulted with the utmost contempt, will always find peace in prayer to the Heavenly Queen, relying on powerful aid and relief in her maternal heart, penalties invading your child's heart.

achieved with great sacrifices to get to study how the most famous seminary in France, the seminary of St Sulpice in Paris. There emerged as a fully Marian seminarian. I felt great joy always keep flowers adorned the altar of the Blessed Virgin.

Louis Grignon de Montfort is a great pilgrim during his life as a priest. But when he was a seminarian granted a special trip to a shrine of Our Lady to those who excel in piety and study. And Roger has won this award. He went on pilgrimage to the Shrine of Virgin at Chartres. And once there remained eight hours to pray on their knees, without moving. How could she spend so much time in prayer and of still? Is that he would not like some of us to pray as a beggar who asks to be away to attend quickie. He would chat with her two best friends, Jesus and Mary. And with them the hours seem like minutes.

wanted to celebrate his first Mass at an altar of the Virgin, and for many years the Cathedral of Notre Dame was their favorite temple and refuge.

San Luis Maria de MonfortMontfort devoted all his great qualities as a preacher and conductor of crowds to preach missions to convert sinners. Large crowds followed him from one village to another after each mission, praying and singing. He realized that the song check out many moods and lights the passion. He said that a mission without singing was like a body without a soul. The same composed the words to many songs to our Lord and the Virgin Mary and was singing to the crowds. Reached the most unlikely places and people asked: "Do you love the Lord?" And why not love him more? Offend the good God? And why offend if so holy? ".

was any fire to preach. Where Montfort came, sin was to run away. But it was not he who was getting conversions. It was the Virgin Mary, whom constantly invoked. She prayed to Jesus and Jesus changed hearts. After a few retreats wrote, "is born in me a boundless confidence in our Lord and his Blessed Mother." I was not afraid or bars, or gambling sites, or places of perdition. There he was determined to try to remove souls to the devil. And traveling confident because never went alone. It took the crucifix and the image of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and behaved with him as formidable defenders.

A charity walk and went to Rome, asking God for the efficacy of the word, and obtained such So to hear his sermons turned even the most hardened sinners. Pope Clement XI received him very kindly and gave him the title "Apostolic Missionary" with permission to preach everywhere.

in every town or village where he preached tried to stop a cross, built on site would be visible to walkers and left in all a great love for the sacraments and the Holy Rosary. This does not forgive the Jansenist heretics who claimed that there was almost never receive the sacraments because they are not worthy to receive them. And with this theory as harmful cooled much faith and devotion. And as Louis de Montfort said the opposite and worked to spread the frequent confession and communion and a great devotion to Our Lady, chasing him everywhere. But he well remembered those words of Jesus: "The disciple is not above his master. If they persecuted me and I have invented many things, so I will treat you." And our saint was glad because the persecutions became more akin to the Divine Master.

Before going to dangerous areas or places where much has sinned, he prayed fervently to the Blessed. Virgin, and below that "where the Mother of God is, there is no devil to resist." People who had been victims of doom and be amazed by the way as frank as he spoke the man of God. And the Virgin Mary was responsible for achieving effectiveness in their preaching.

St. Louis de Montfort founded a religious communities who have made immense good in the souls. Parents Montfort (whose farm he named "Company of Mary") and the Sisters of Wisdom.

San Luis died April 28, 1716, at the age of 43, exhausted from so much work and preach.
