The Life of St. Louis de Montfort
Louis Marie Grignion was a Breton priest who walked from village to village in western France preaching parish missions. He loved the poor and gave them everything, and he taught them the Rosary.
His book True Devotion to Mary teaches total consecration to Jesus through Mary. It was hidden for more than a century after his death, and when found it became one of the most loved spiritual books of the Church.
