Translted by Frederick William Faber, D.D., of the Oratory. Illustrated throughout with reproductions of Christian art. Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Monttfort was born in Brittany, France on January 31, 1673. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1700 and distinguished himself by his zeal and missionary work. He preached so forcefully and effectively against the errors of Jansenism that he was expelled from several dioceses in France. He took his case to Rome, where Pope Clement XI conferred on him the title of Missionary Apostolic, enabling him to continue his apostolate. An ardent devotee of Our Lady, he preached Mary everywhere. In his "Treatise on True Devotion to Mary" he fervently advocates the path taken by the God-man for our redemption as our path to holiness. "To Jesus through Mary" became his motto and total concentration as slaves of love to Mary became his means. His inspiring work, "The Secret of the Rosary," cemented his legacy as one of its greatest apostles. Saint Louis also founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Wisdom and a missionary order known as the Company of Mary. He died on April 28, 1716 at Saint-Laurent-sur Sevre, France. He was forty-three. His last words were: "I am Thine, and all I have is Thine, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, Thy Holy Mother." He was Marist to the last. Pope Pius XII canonized the "Apostle of Mary" in 1917. The cause for his declaration as Doctor of the Church is now in progress. Religion.
