Grignon De Montfort The hymns of St. Ephrem are full of this doctrine. The following are verses from his Hymn XVIII. In Commemoration of the Mother of God : "The Adam from above appeared with all things that were of the former Adam and followed his steps, sin excepted. And for this reason was He called Adam by his herald Paul. . . . "Mary is the garden upon which descended from the Father the rain of benedictions. From that rain she herself sprinkled the face of Adam. Whereupon he returned to life and arose from the sepulchre—he who had been buried by his foes in hell. . . . "Sublime is the Mystery of the Virgin most pure, too great for all tongues to speak. "Eve in Eden became guilty. Great was the handwriting of the debt, whereby her posterity were doomed to death. The Serpent, that perverse Scrivener, wrote it out, signed and gave it force with the seal of his fraud. . . . "Eve it was that was found guilty of sin. But the debt was reserved for Mary, that so the daughter might pay her mother's debts and tear up the handwriting that had transmitted her groans to all generations. "Since Mary was the Virgin Inviolate—prepared by Eden's blest region ere its lands were torn by furrows—there blossomed from her Bosom the Tree of Life which by its taste, that is by its Mercy, gives life to souls." And again: "Instead of the Serpent arose Gabriel, and instead of Eve, Mary the Virgin. . . . "Eve became a debtor to God; she it was who gave ear to the Serpent's counsel. A child of one day, she despised the commandment, and therefore through a young Maiden, salvation was sent to the world. "Gabriel by his words undid the speech that the execrable wanderer had held with the virgin Eve. Eve had written the debt in her handwriting and the Virgin paid the debt. . . . "The daughter full of grace stood up in battle for her mother. Eve had fallen, Mary raised her up, and to the exiles was given hope of their reconciliation and return to Eden." (On the Annunciation of the Mother of God, Hymn II, verses 9-14.) We find an echo of this tradition even in the Koran. Mr. Rodwell writes: "According to a tradition of Muhammed every newborn child is touched by Satan, (Cf. p. 12.) with the exception of Mary and her Son, between whom, and Satan, God ' interposed a veil.' These words of the Koran, therefore, with verse 37 of the same Sura [iii] :O Mary, verily God hath chosen thee, and hath purified thee and chosen thee above the women of the world,' seem to show that Muhammed had received the Christian Tradition of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin." Gibbon, however, turns the facts round and suggests that " Christians borrowed this doctrine from the Koran." (Decline and Fall, Chapter I.) Belief in Mary's Immaculate Conception has remained living in the East—where Muhammed learned it—not only amongst Catholics, but also in separated heretical bodies where we might have expected that it would disappear; thus, it is to be found amongst the Eutychians, notwithstanding the fact, that their error commenced with the denial that Christ was of one substance, not with His Heavenly Father alone, but with his earthly Mother also, and amongst the Nestorians, whose specific heresy it is to deny to that Mother her title of Theotokos, that is Mother of God. 1 The Abyssinians, who are Eutychian in their Christological doctrine, to this day cherish a strange belief that the Blessed Virgin was created before the Fall, and was actually in the Garden of Eden, where our Lord made a compact with her about the salvation of the world. We have here, evidently, a corruption of the teaching of St. Irenaeus that Mary was Eve's advocate and undid her work. 2 The Holy Scriptures show us the idea of Mary emerging from the beginning, in the Mind of God, in the primeval prophecy. " I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed " (Gen. iii. 15)—these are divine words concerning the Woman who was to defeat the enemy to whom her first mother had succumbed. That Woman of Victory and of Prophecy is our Lady. We cannot doubt it when we read that the enmities were to be, not only between herself and Satan, but also between her Seed and his seed. Her seed undoubtedly is the Redeemer—Mary's Son. Thus do we find, at the very opening of our Sacred Books, Jesus and Mary, the Son and His Mother, joined together in our Reparation, as our first parents were joined in our Fall. Blessed Grignon De Montfort observes that God, the Author of Peace, has only made one enmity—that between good and evil, between Mary and Satan, but this God-made enmity is everlasting. It reached from the beginning to the end. Here, then, in the Book of Genesis, is the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, not yet stated explicitly, but necessarily involved in the thought which is suggested. Eve was God's daughter, clothed in grace; therefore she once was Satan's foe. Seduced by her enemy, she fell away; the place from which she fell was to be filled by Mary. In order that this should be verified Mary, like Eve, must be Immaculate from the first moment of her existence. 1 The learned Dr. Gustavus Bickell, who first published the Carmina Misilena in 1866, from the Syriac MS. in the British Museum, quotes George Varda, the most celebrated hymnographer of the Nestorians, as thus giving their tradition : " Mary was sanctified in the very moment of her Conception. She alone was preserved from the universal deluge of sin, and remained dry and unmoistened as the fleece of Gideon." 2 See Article in Dublin Review for April, 1868, pp. 356-60 ; also Livius, The Blessed Virgin in the Fathers of the First Six Centuries, pp. 208-254.

De heilige Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort was een van de grootste verspreiders van het rozenkransgebed. Van kindsbeen af stelde hij alles in het werk om zijn zusje Louise de rozenkrans te laten bidden. Als ze hem blijk gaf van enige tegenzin gaf hij haar geschenkjes en zei hij haar: ‘Mijn liefste zusje, je zal op je mooist zijn en iedereen zal van je houden als je van God houdt.’ Terstond volgde ze hem en in navolging van haar broer spoorde ook zij haar vriendinnetjes aan om met haar de rozenkrans te bidden. En om hen ertoe over te halen alle dagen de rozenkrans te bidden, gaf hij hen als cadeautjes het mooiste en het beste wat hij bezat. Uit: La vida del santo misionero apostolico

The image received will not have any watermarks on it. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort was born in 1673 in Montfort-sur-Meu, the eldest surviving child of eighteen born to Jean-Baptiste and Jeanne Robert Grignion. His father was a notary. Louis-Marie passed most of his infancy and early childhood in Iffendic, a few kilometers from Montfort, where his father had bought a farm. At the age of 12, he entered the Jesuit College of St Thomas Becket in Rennes, where his uncle was a parish priest.[2] At the end of his ordinary schooling, he began his studies of philosophy and theology, still at St Thomas in Rennes. Listening to the stories of a local priest, the Abbé Julien Bellier, about his life as an itinerant missionary, he was inspired to preach missions among the very poor. Bellier was propagating among his students a consecration and entrustment to Mary.[3][4] Under the guidance of Bellier and other priests, de Montfort began to develop his strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. 19th century depiction of St Sulpice where Montfort had earlier studied for the priesthood He was then given the opportunity, through a benefactor, to go to Paris to study at the renowned Seminary of Saint-Sulpice[5] towards the end of 1693. When he arrived in Paris, it was to find that his benefactor had not provided enough money for him, so he lodged in a succession of boarding houses, living among the very poor, in the meantime attending the Sorbonne University for lectures in theology. After less than two years, he became very ill and had to be hospitalized, but survived his hospitalization and the blood letting that was part of his treatment at the time. Upon his release from the hospital, to his surprise he found himself with a place reserved at the Little Saint-Sulpice, which he entered in July 1695. Saint-Sulpice had been founded by Jean-Jacques Olier, one of the leading exponents of what came to be known as the French school of spirituality.[3] Given that he was appointed the librarian, his time at Saint-Sulpice gave him the opportunity to study most of the available works on spirituality and, in particular, on the Virgin Mary's place in the Christian life. This later led to his focus on the Holy Rosary and his acclaimed book the Secret of the Rosary. Even as a seminarian in Paris, Montfort was known for the veneration he had toward the angels: he "urged his confreres to show marks of respect and tenderness to their guardian angels." He often ended his letters with a salutation to the guardian angel of the person to whom he was writing: "I salute your guardian angel". He also saluted all the angels in the city of Nantes, a custom that, it appears, he repeated when he entered a new village or city.[6] One of the reasons why Montfort had such devotion to the angels is that veneration of the pure spirits was an integral part of his training and also of his culture. His college teachers, the Jesuits, were known for their zeal in propagating devotion to the angels. Montfort's seminary training under the Sulpicians brought him into contact with the thought of Cardinal de Bérulle and Olier, both of whom had deep veneration for the angels. Furthermore, in the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, manuals of piety and treatises on the pure spirits were numerous.[6] He was ordained a priest in June 1700,[5] and assigned to Nantes. His great desire was to go to the foreign missions, preferably to the new French colony of Canada, but his spiritual director advised against it. His letters of this period show that he felt frustrated from the lack of opportunity to preach as he felt he was called to do. In November 1700 he joined the Third Order of the Dominicans and asked permission not only to preach the rosary, but also to form rosary confraternities.[7] He began to consider the formation of a small company of priests to preach missions and retreats under the standard and protection of the Blessed Virgin. This eventually led to the formation of the Company of Mary. At around this time, when he was appointed the chaplain of the hospital of Poitiers, he first met Marie Louise Trichet. That meeting became the beginning of Marie Louise's 34 years of service to the poor. Desiring to be a missionary, Montfort made a pilgrimage to Rome to ask the advice of Pope Clement XI.[3] The Pope recognized his real vocation and, telling him there was plenty of scope for its exercise in France, sent him back with the title of Apostolic Missionary.[8] On his return from his long pilgrimage to Rome, Montfort made a retreat at Mont Saint Michel "to pray to this archangel to obtain from him the grace to win souls for God, to confirm those already in God's grace, and to fight Satan and sin".[6] These occasions gave him time to think, contemplate and write. For several years he preached in missions from Brittany to Nantes. As his reputation as a missioner grew, he became known as "the good Father from Montfort". At Pontchateau he attracted hundreds of people to help him in the construction of a huge Calvary. However, on the very eve of its blessing, the Bishop, having heard it was to be destroyed on the orders of the King of France under the influence of members of the Jansenist school, forbade its benediction. It is reported that upon receiving this news, he simply said, "Blessed be God."[2] He left Nantes and the next several years were extraordinarily busy for him. He was constantly occupied in preaching missions, always walking between one and another. Yet he found time also to write: his True Devotion to Mary,[9] The Secret of Mary[10] and the Secret of the Rosary, rules for the Company of Mary and the Daughters of Wisdom, and many hymns. His missions made a great impact, especially in the Vendée. The heated style of his preaching was regarded by some people as somewhat strange and he was poisoned once.[2] Although it did not prove fatal, it caused his health to deteriorate. Yet he continued, undeterred. He went on preaching and established free schools for the poor boys and girls. The bishop of La Rochelle had been impressed with Montfort for some time and invited him to open a school there. Montfort enlisted the help of his follower Marie Louise Trichet, who was then running the General Hospital in Poitiers. In 1715 Marie Louise and Catherine Brunet left Poitiers for La Rochelle to open the school there and in a short time it had 400 students. On 22 August 1715 Trichet and Brunet, along with Marie Valleau and Marie Régnier from La Rochelle, received the approbation of Bishop de Champflour of La Rochelle to make their religious profession under the direction of Montfort. At the ceremony Montfort told them: "Call yourselves the Daughters of Wisdom,[5] for the teaching of children and the care of the poor." The Daughters of Wisdom grew into an international organization and the placing of Montfort's founders statue in Saint Peter's Basilica was based on that organization.[11] Montfort's 16 years of priesthood include many months of solitude, perhaps as many as a total of four years; at the cave of Mervent, amidst the beauty of the forest, at the hermitage of Saint Lazarus near the village of Montfort, and at the hermitage of Saint Eloi in La Rochelle. Worn out by hard work and sickness, he finally came in April 1716 to Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre to begin the mission which was to be his last. During it, he fell ill and died on 28 April of that year. He was 43 years old, and had been a priest for only 16 years. His last sermon was on the tenderness of Jesus and the Incarnate Wisdom of the Father. Thousands gathered for his burial in the parish church, and very quickly there were stories of miracles performed at his tomb. Exactly 43 years later, on April 28, 1759, Marie Louise Trichet also died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre and was buried next to Montfort. On 19 September 1996 Pope John Paul II (who beatified Trichet) came to the same site to meditate and pray at their adjacent tombs. In Montfort's approach to Marian consecration, Jesus and Mary are inseparable. He views "consecration to Jesus in Mary" as a special path to being conformed to, united and consecrated to Christ, given that " ...of all creatures the one most conformed to Jesus Christ, it follows that among all devotions that which most consecrates and conforms a soul to our Lord is devotion to Mary, his Holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to her the more will it be consecrated to Jesus Christ."[13] "God the Father made an assemblage of all the waters, and He named it the sea (mare). He has made an assemblage of all His graces, and He has called it Mary (Maria)."[14] According to Montfort, "Mary is the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus."[15] Montfort's process of Total Consecration has seven elements and effects: knowledge of one's unworthiness, sharing in Mary's faith, the gift of pure love, unlimited confidence in God and Mary, communication of the Spirit of Mary, transformation into the likeness of Jesus, and bringing more glory to Christ.[16] Montfort's practice of consecration to Mary has both internal and external components. The internal components focus on surrendering oneself as a slave to Mary and to Jesus through her, and performing all actions "with Mary, in Mary, through Mary and for Mary". The suggested exterior practices include enrolment in Marian societies, or joining Marian religious orders, making Marian privileges known and appreciated, and giving alms in honor of Mary.[17] Louis de Montfort influenced a number of popes.[18][19] In the 19th century, Pope Pius IX considered it the best and most acceptable form of Marian devotion, while Pope Leo XIII granted indulgences for practicing Montfort's method of Marian consecration.

SAN LUIS MARIA GRIGNON DE MONTFORT 28 de abril († 1716) Es el apóstol por excelencia de la Santa Esclavitud de María, o de la Perfecta Consagración a la Santísima Virgen, según la fórmula por él popularizada: "Por María, con María, en María, para María". Nació el 31 de enero de 1673 en Montfort (Bretaña francesa), no lejos de la ciudad de Rennes. Fueron sus padres Juan Bautista Grignon y Juana Robert de la Biceule. Bautizado con el nombre de Luis el 1 de febrero en la iglesia parroquial de San Juan, hizo su primera comunión en el vecino pueblo de Iffendic. El nombre de "María" le tomó en la confirmación. Ocho años de estudios, hasta el primero de teología inclusive, en el colegio de los padres jesuitas de Rennes (1685-1693), donde fue congregante mariano y trabó amistad con sus compañeros Juan Bautista Blain y Claudio Poullart des Places; y otros ocho en París (1693-1700) completando los estudios de teología y preparándose para el sacerdocio a la sombra del seminario de San Sulpicio. El 5 de junio de 1700 era ordenado sacerdote, y poco después, en el altar de Nuestra Señora de San Sulpicio, que muchas veces, con cariño filial, había él adornado, decía su primera misa: "como un ángel”, en expresión de su amigo Blain. Su gusto hubiera sido consagrarse a la evangelización de los infieles en las misiones extranjeras; pero su director, el señor Leschassier, que lo era de San Sulpicio, tenía otros planes. Los jansenistas de Nantes monopolizaban por entonces la enseñanza en aquella ciudad. Dueños de la Universidad, habían logrado, además, eliminar del Seminario Mayor a los sacerdotes de San Sulpicio. Para contrarrestar su influjo en el clero, un santo sacerdote, Rene Léveque, de la diócesis de Nantes, en unión con uno de los arcedianos de la misma, el señor Jonchéres, había fundado una asociación de celosos sacerdotes, que formaron la Comunidad de San Clemente, así llamada de la parroquia a que fueron adscritos. El señor Jonchéres se encargó del Seminario y el señor Lévéque de la Comunidad. Como auxiliar de este último, ya anciano, era enviado a Nantes Montfort. La estancia iba a ser para él durísima. En el Seminario, se había infiltrado el espíritu jansenista en la persona del profesor Lanoë-Menard, y, obligada a oír sus conferencias, se había contagiado también la Comunidad de San Clemente. Muy pronto se dio cuenta Montfort de aquel ambiente, irrespirable para un fervoroso hijo de la Iglesia romana. Providencialmente Dios le sacó pronto de aquella casa, encaminándole a Poitiers, donde le esperaban no ligeras cruces, pero donde encontraría a la que años adelante, bajo su dirección, sería la fundadora de las Hijas de la Sabiduría, María Luisa Trichet, hija del primer magistrado de aquella ciudad. Nombrado capellán del hospital de Poitiers, por tres veces Fue despedido malamente de él. En una de estas ocasiones se trasladó a París. Destrozado del viaje, hecho como siempre a pie, se acogió al hospital de La Salpêtriére, en el cual, escribía él, se encontró con 5.000 pobres enfermos. Apenas repuesto un poco, había comenzado a ejercitar allí el oficio de enfermero con la misma heroica abnegación que en Poitiers, cuando un día, al sentarse a la mesa, encontró bajo su cubierto una esquela en que se le despedía. Y allí quedaba sin asilo y sin pan en medio de la ciudad inmensa. El pan se lo dieron de limosna las benedictinas del Santísimo Sacramento, y, por fin, bajo una escalera en la calle del Pot-de-fer, halló un cuchitril donde cobijarse. En este rincón se cree que escribió su primer libro; El amor de la sabiduría eterna, y en este inmenso desamparo fue donde comenzó a planear la fundación de la Compañía de María, poniéndose al habla con su antiguo condiscípulo Poullart des Places. Vocación definitiva de Montfort era la de misionero popular. En el mismo Poitiers dio ya con gran fruto cuatro o cinco misiones; pero, en vista de las dificultades que se le presentaban en aquella y en otras diócesis de Francia, pensó de nuevo en las misiones de ultramar, y con este intento se encaminó a Roma para pedir la bendición del Papa. El 6 de junio de 1706 era recibido en audiencia por Clemente XI, el debelador del renacido jansenismo, que le mandó quedarse en Francia. Para autorizar sus misiones le concedió el título de misionero apostólico. En los diez años escasos que le quedan de vida Montfort misionará, primero en medio de grandes contrariedades, en las diócesis de Rennes (1706), de Saint Malo y de Saint Brieuc (1707-1708) y en la de Nantes (1708-1711). Sólo los cinco últimos años (1711-1716) trabajará con alguna tranquilidad en las diócesis de La Rochela y de Lujon, cuyos prelados no se habían doblegado al jansenismo. En estos últimos años, sobre todo, se esforzará por formar sus Congregaciones religiosas. Una de las grandes tribulaciones de la primera etapa (1706-1711), tal vez la mayor de toda su vida, fue la demolición ordenada por Luis XIV, siniestramente informado, del grandioso Calvario de Pontchateau, en que, durante quince meses, dirigidos por Montfort, habían trabajado más de 20.000 obreros. Las misiones en las diócesis de La Rochela y de Luon fueron en conjunto triunfales, aunque no sin cruces: "Ninguna cruz: ¡que gran cruz!", solía decir el Santo. En las afueras de La Rochela, y en una ermita llamada de San Eloy, fue donde compuso las Reglas de las Hijas de la Sabiduría, y también, según se cree, el tratado de la verdadera devoción. Allí, una vez más, sintió la necesidad de reclutar un escuadrón de sacerdotes que se dedicaran a misionar por los pueblos. Tal vez allí brotó de sus entrañas la llamada justamente oración abrasada. Un viaje a París en el verano de 1713 buscando candidatos para la Compañía de María en el seminario fundado por su condiscípulo Poullart, y otro a Rouen, en el de 1714 para invitar a su amigo Blain, canónigo en aquella catedral, a que se le uniera en el proyecto de esta fundación. A la vuelta de este viaje se detuvo unos días en Nantes, en la casa de los "Incurables" por él fundada; y en Rennes, el último día de unos ejercicios hechos en su antiguo colegio, escribió la encendida carta a los amigos de la cruz. Vuelto a La Rochela, se ocupó, sobre todo, en organizar las escuelas de caridad, y fue allí donde, llamadas por él, vinieron a encontrarle sus hijas, María Luisa Trichet y Catalina Brunet —otra joven vivaracha de Poitiers—, para ponerse al frente de las escuelas de niñas, que se llamarían Escuelas de la Sabiduría. Pero se acercaba el fin de su vida —el había presentido y aun predicho que moriría antes de acabarse aquel año 1716—; y las fundaciones por que tanto había suspirado apenas estaban esbozadas. Había que alcanzar del cielo su desarrollo; y acudió a Nuestra Señora de Ardillers. Postrado a sus plantas se sintió escuchado. Ya podía morir. Su última misión fue la de San Lorenzo de Sévre. Pudiera decirse que la muerte le asaltó en el púlpito, predicando el último día por la tarde ante su gran amigo el obispo de La Rochela. El 27 de abril, después de dictar su testamento en el que pedía que su corazón fuera enterrado bajo la tarima del altar de la Santísima Virgen, entregaba su espíritu al Señor. Tenía cuarenta y tres años y tres meses. No menos de 100.000 personas de la comarca acudieron a venerar los restos de su apóstol Apenas ha podido entreverse por lo dicho aquí la eficacia extraordinaria de su palabra evangélica. Debíase esta eficacia, desde luego, a la gracia divina, que el Santo alcanzaba muy principalmente por intercesión de la Virgen Santísima. Junto con el crucifijo llevaba él siempre consigo una estatuita de Nuestra Señora, que instalaba en su habitación, en el confesonario, en el púlpito... en todas partes: Era la "Reina de los Corazones". A los ojos del pueblo, su vida penitente, su pobreza en el vestir, su espíritu de oración, su modestia constante, le conciliaban la veneración de todos. Venía sobre esto la predicación sabia y ardiente. Al mismo tiempo Montfort era maestro, en utilizar toda clase de recursos populares. Hasta siete procesiones, nos dice su contemporáneo Grandet, organizaba en cada misión. Especial solemnidad revestía la de la renovación de las promesas del bautismo. Otro elemento capital en todas sus misiones eran los cánticos. Son unos 24.000 los versos compuestos por él, que abarcan todos los temas usuales en las Misiones. Nada podemos decir aquí del desarrollo que, por fin, han logrado sus fundaciones religiosas. En cuanto a sus libros, ya se indicó la difusión inmensa que han tenido El secreto de María y la Verdadera devoción. Esos y los demás pueden verse en la edición española de la B. A. C., vol. III (1954), donde se hallará, en la introducción, la bibliografía que puede desearse. El 22 de enero de 1888 el siervo de Dios fue beatificado por León XIII; y el 20 de julio de 1947 canonizado por Pío XII. CAMILO Mª. ABAD, S. I.

Desiring to be a missionary, Montfort made a pilgrimage to Rome to ask the advice of Pope Clement XI.[3] The Pope recognized his real vocation and, telling him there was plenty of scope for its exercise in France, sent him back with the title of Apostolic Missionary.[8] On his return from his long pilgrimage to Rome, Montfort made a retreat at Mont Saint Michel "to pray to this archangel to obtain from him the grace to win souls for God, to confirm those already in God's grace, and to fight Satan and sin".[6] These occasions gave him time to think, contemplate and write. For several years he preached in missions from Brittany to Nantes. As his reputation as a missioner grew, he became known as "the good Father from Montfort". At Pontchateau he attracted hundreds of people to help him in the construction of a huge Calvary. However, on the very eve of its blessing, the Bishop, having heard it was to be destroyed on the orders of the King of France under the influence of members of the Jansenist school, forbade its benediction. It is reported that upon receiving this news, he simply said, "Blessed be God."[2] He left Nantes and the next several years were extraordinarily busy for him. He was constantly occupied in preaching missions, always walking between one and another. Yet he found time also to write: his True Devotion to Mary,[9] The Secret of Mary[10] and the Secret of the Rosary, rules for the Company of Mary and the Daughters of Wisdom, and many hymns. His missions made a great impact, especially in the Vendée. The heated style of his preaching was regarded by some people as somewhat strange and he was poisoned once.[2] Although it did not prove fatal, it caused his health to deteriorate. Yet he continued, undeterred. He went on preaching and established free schools for the poor boys and girls. The bishop of La Rochelle had been impressed with Montfort for some time and invited him to open a school there. Montfort enlisted the help of his follower Marie Louise Trichet, who was then running the General Hospital in Poitiers. In 1715 Marie Louise and Catherine Brunet left Poitiers for La Rochelle to open the school there and in a short time it had 400 students. On 22 August 1715 Trichet and Brunet, along with Marie Valleau and Marie Régnier from La Rochelle, received the approbation of Bishop de Champflour of La Rochelle to make their religious profession under the direction of Montfort. At the ceremony Montfort told them: "Call yourselves the Daughters of Wisdom,[5] for the teaching of children and the care of the poor." The Daughters of Wisdom grew into an international organization and the placing of Montfort's founders statue in Saint Peter's Basilica was based on that organization.[11] Montfort's 16 years of priesthood include many months of solitude, perhaps as many as a total of four years; at the cave of Mervent, amidst the beauty of the forest, at the hermitage of Saint Lazarus near the village of Montfort, and at the hermitage of Saint Eloi in La Rochelle. Worn out by hard work and sickness, he finally came in April 1716 to Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre to begin the mission which was to be his last. During it, he fell ill and died on 28 April of that year. He was 43 years old, and had been a priest for only 16 years. His last sermon was on the tenderness of Jesus and the Incarnate Wisdom of the Father. Thousands gathered for his burial in the parish church, and very quickly there were stories of miracles performed at his tomb. Exactly 43 years later, on April 28, 1759, Marie Louise Trichet also died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre and was buried next to Montfort. On 19 September 1996 Pope John Paul II (who beatified Trichet) came to the same site to meditate and pray at their adjacent tombs. In Montfort's approach to Marian consecration, Jesus and Mary are inseparable. He views "consecration to Jesus in Mary" as a special path to being conformed to, united and consecrated to Christ, given that " ...of all creatures the one most conformed to Jesus Christ, it follows that among all devotions that which most consecrates and conforms a soul to our Lord is devotion to Mary, his Holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to her the more will it be consecrated to Jesus Christ."[13] "God the Father made an assemblage of all the waters, and He named it the sea (mare). He has made an assemblage of all His graces, and He has called it Mary (Maria)."[14] According to Montfort, "Mary is the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus."[15] Montfort's process of Total Consecration has seven elements and effects: knowledge of one's unworthiness, sharing in Mary's faith, the gift of pure love, unlimited confidence in God and Mary, communication of the Spirit of Mary, transformation into the likeness of Jesus, and bringing more glory to Christ.[16] Montfort's practice of consecration to Mary has both internal and external components. The internal components focus on surrendering oneself as a slave to Mary and to Jesus through her, and performing all actions "with Mary, in Mary, through Mary and for Mary". The suggested exterior practices include enrolment in Marian societies, or joining Marian religious orders, making Marian privileges known and appreciated, and giving alms in honor of Mary.[17] Louis de Montfort influenced a number of popes.[18][19] In the 19th century, Pope Pius IX considered it the best and most acceptable form of Marian devotion, while Pope Leo XIII granted indulgences for practicing Montfort's method of Marian consecration.
