Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, born on January 31, 1673, in Montfort-sur-Meu, Brittany, was a French priest and missionary whose fervent Marian devotion reshaped Catholic spirituality. Ordained in 1700, he preached across western France, founding the Company of Mary and Daughters of Wisdom to spread his “True Devotion to Mary”—a consecration popularized by his book of that name. Facing opposition from Jansenists and frail health, he tirelessly evangelized the poor, often collapsing mid-sermon, until his death on April 28, 1716, at 43 in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre. His writings, lost then rediscovered in 1842, inspired popes and saints, including John Paul II. | Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, born on January 31, 1673, in Montfort-sur-Meu, Brittany, was a French priest and missionary whose fervent Marian devotion reshaped Catholic spirituality.
