Statements of the Magisterium concerning Montfort Spirituality from
CIN
Pope John Paul II has consistently praised the theology and spirituality of Saint Louis de Montfort. The Holy Father's recent book, "Gift and Mystery" has the following quote about Saint Louis de Montfort: " ... At one point I began to question any devotion to Mary, believing that, if it became too great, it might end up compromising the supremacy of the worship owed Christ. At that time, I was greatly helped by a book by Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort entitled 'Treatise of True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin.' There I found the answers to my questions. Yes, Mary does bring us closer to Christ; she does lead us to him, provided that we live her mystery in Christ. This treatise by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort can be a bit disconcerting, given its rather florid and baroque style, but the essential theological truths which it contains are undeniable. The author was an outstanding theologian. His Mariological thought is rooted in the mystery of the Trinity and in the truth of the Incarnation of the Word of God. I then came to understand why the Church says the Angelus three times a day ... Such powerful words! They express the deepest reality of the greatest event ever to take place in human history. This is the origin of the motto 'Totus Tuus': The phrase comes from Saint Louis Marie de Montfort. it is an abbreviation of a more complete form of entrustment to the Mother of God which runs like this: 'Totus Tuus ego sum et omnia mea Tua sunt. And so, thanks to Saint Louis, I began to discover the immense riches of Marian devotion from new perspectives." (pp.28-30) |
