St. Louis de Montfort

Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673–1716) was a French Catholic priest known for his deep devotion to Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. He emphasized the importance of honoring Mary as a way to grow closer to Jesus and lead a more faithful, humble life. His teachings focus on trusting Mary’s intercession and living a spiritually disciplined life through prayer and devotion. Montfort’s work inspired many Catholics to deepen their Marian devotion, emphasizing that through Mary, believers can better follow Christ and achieve spiritual growth. His writings remain influential in Catholic spirituality today.
