Feast of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort

Today is the Feast Day of St. Louis de Montfort, founder of the missionary Company of Mary, who promoted Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. "In giving ourselves to Jesus through Mary's hands, we imitate God the Father, who gave us his Son only through Mary, and who imparts his graces to us only through Mary. Likewise we imitate God the Son, who by giving us his example for us to follow, inspires us to go to him using the same means he used in coming to us, that is, through Mary. Again, we imitate the Holy Spirit, who bestows his graces and gifts upon us only through Mary." from today's Magnificat, the words of St. Louis de Montfort
