Saint Louis Marie de Montfort (1673-1716) Biographical Notes Summary: Childhood and Family Life in the Countryside (1673-1684) Schooling in Rennes (1684-1692) A student in Paris Searching for a field of apostolate The hospital in Poitiers Missionary work Pilgrimage to Rome The era of the missions The death of an apostle The physiognomy of a Saint Activity of the man Thousands of human beings have peopled this planet since its beginnings. The number of those whose names history has preserved is relatively small. “From the rising of the sun to its setting”, and from pole to pole, a few volumes would be enough to provide an exhaustive list. St Louis Marie de Montfort is found among this number. His influence, after more than two centuries, stills exerts itself among those who have followed him in his way of reading the Gospel and living it out. “True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin”, the best known of his writings, had appeared in no less that 387 editions in 1992, and that same year there were already 113 biographies that had been written. The truly amazing thing is the number of languages in which the writings have appeared and the biographies written: around thirty languages, spoken on all the continents. CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE (1673-1684) Louis Grignion was born on 31 January 1673 in Montfort-la-Cane, a small provincial town 23 km from Rennes, the capital of the Duchy of Brittany. His home town is today called Montfort-sur-Meu; it is a small sub-prefecture with about 5,000 inhabitants.

Il a de nouveau inspiré le Pape Fran- çois pour cette nouvelle Encyclique qui nous concerne tout particulièrement, nous qui portons la belle dénomination de « Frères ». Le Pape ajoute que si le Patriarche orthodoxe Bartholomée l’avait encou- ragé à écrire Laudato si’, cette fois-ci c’est le Grand Iman Ahmad Al- Tayyeb rencontré à Abou Dhabi qui l’a encouragé à rappeler que Dieu « a créé tous les êtres humains égaux en droits, en devoirs et en dignité, et les a appelés à coexister comme des frères entre eux ». (5) ÉDITORIAL Le Pape François nous invite dans son texte à changer notre regard et à élargir notre cœur pour voir en tout homme ou toute femme, un frère ou une sœur à aimer. Nous avons tous Dieu pour Père et il nous aime tous comme ses enfants. « Sans une ouverture au Père de tous, il n’y aura pas de raisons solides et stables à l’appel à la fraternité. » (272) En terminant le Pape parle de ceux qui l’ont stimulé pour cette réflexion sur la fraternité universelle, en plus de François d’Assise : « Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi et beaucoup d’autres encore.

He was known in his time as a preacher and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI. Louis de Montfort 2 As well as preaching, Montfort found time to write a number of books which went on to become classic Catholic titles and influenced several popes. Montfort is known for his particular devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the practice of praying the Rosary. Montfort is considered as one of the early writers in the field of Mariology. His most notable works regarding Marian devotions are contained in The Secret of Mary and the True Devotion to Mary.

He moves from place to place teaching, preaching and healing in the footsteps of Christ the Wisdom Incarnate. We read him in his own words and actions. Montfort moves from Poitiers to Paris and starts to live and work in large poorhouse called La Salpetriere. From this location he gives lectures on Wisdom to the seminarians of Poulart des Places. These he works up in The Love of the Eternal Wisdom ( LEW), his most important text on Wisdom, most likely written after being expelled from La Salpetriere and while living under a staircase in the rue du Pot-de-Fer. His fascination with Wisdom at that time shows in a letter to his mother: “ In my new family..

Les Filles de la Sagesse s'attachent tout particulièrement au service des hôpitaux. Le traité établi pour leur installation à l'hôpital de Poitiers servira de modèle en France jusqu'au XXe siècle. La Congrégation s'installe à Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre en 1720, lieu de décès de Montfort. Elle y conserve sa maison-mère aujourd'hui. Son recrutement, d'année en année plus important, stoppé à la Révolution, reprend dès le Consulat avec l'appui des autorités civiles qui comptent sur elle, notamment pour les hôpitaux militaires. En 1811, un décret assure à la Congrégation une existence légale. En forte expansion au XIXe siècle, la congrégation diversifie ses oeuvres, avec certaines spécificités très particulières (éducation des sourdes-muettes-aveugles) mais les mesures anticongréganistes, préalables à la séparation de l'Église et de l'État (1905), obligent les soeurs à abandonner leurs oeuvres scolaires.

  • Mariology of the Saints 1 Mariology of the Saints
    Mariology of the saints 1 Mariology of the saints Throughout history Roman Catholic Mariology has been influenced by a number of saints who have attested to the central role of Mary in God's plan of salvation.[1] While the Marian teachings of some saints may have been virtually unknown during their own life, they have influenced the Church centuries later. An example is Saint Louis de Montfort who was a priest for only 16 years and had but a handful of followers upon his death at the beginning of the 18th century, yet influenced four popes, namely Leo Madonna and Child with saints by Duccio, 14th century XIII, Pius X, Pius XII and John Paul II who chose his personal motto Totus Tuus based on Montfort's influence. The influence of saints on Mariology continued in the 20th century, with Saint Maximillian Kolbe's focus on the Immaculate Conception and his Immaculata prayer.

  • The Origin and Spirituality of Teaching Orders in the Church.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 4, No
    Sauvage, Michel. “The Origin and Spirituality of Teaching Orders in the Church.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 4, no. 1 (Institute for Lasallian Studies at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota: 2013). © Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. The Origin and Spirituality of Teaching Orders in the Church 1 Michel Sauvage, FSC, S.T.D. Writing such an article as this presents several challenges. First, congregations and religious orders that can be termed “teaching orders” are numerous. Just to list them for France alone for the 19th century would be quite an achievement. It is known how they proliferated after the French Revolution. Some were formed on a diocesan scale or even at times from a few parishes. Perhaps it is less well-known that following the Catholic Reformation, the French seventeenth century also knew a similar proliferation, at least as regards female congregations. Second, the term teaching congregations seems self-explanatory. In reality, the teaching aim (in the actual meaning) of most of the congregations is not the prime aim. From the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, they were born with the aim of evangelization, often missionary; and their activity was defined in terms of catechesis. The terms “teaching” or “instruction” have to be understood, especially in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as concerned first and essentially with Christian doctrine and life. Later, the place of profane teaching will become more important, if not even preponderant over the primary aim.

  • A New Call of Wisdom… a Response Filled with Passionate Love
    A New Call of Wisdom… A Response Filled with Passionate Love... To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Beatification of Marie Louise of Jesus is for us, Daughters of Wisdom, both a source of joy and gratitude but also a profound challenge. I am convinced that it was not by chance that the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Beatification coincided with the event of the General Chapter. The Beatification allowed many among us to discover the endearing face of the first Daughter of Wisdom. We discovered with our eyes and hearts, the passionate and daring woman she was, responding to an exceptional call to live a new form of religious life for the time…an apostolic religious life. At the Beatification celebration in Rome, on May 16, 1993, Pope John-Paul II pronounced the following words concerning her: “Marie Louise of Jesus allowed herself to be seized by Christ, passionately seeking the inner covenant of human wisdom with eternal Wisdom. And the natural unfolding of the bond of deep intimacy, was a passionate action devoted towards the poorest of her fellow human beings. The adoration of the Wisdom of the Father, incarnated in the Son, always carries with it daily service to those who have nothing appealing to others, but who are always very dear in the sight of God.” One wonders how these words proclaimed by pope St John Paul II echo in our hearts as we prepare to live the General Chapter inviting us to “Love without Borders”? I believe that the first place of conversion to which God calls us is to let oneself be seized by Christ, to passionately seek Him in a relationship that naturally reconciles deep intimacy with Wisdom and loving action for the destitute.
