Feast of St. Louis de Montfort

On April 28, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Louis de Montfort, the co-founder of the Daughters of Wisdom.

One of his well-known sayings was “Dieu seul," - “God alone.”

This focus of Montfort was the driving force behind his life as a missionary, preacher, sculptor, and poet. He also was the founder of the Montfort Fathers and the Brothers of St. Gabriel.

RESURRECTION

 

You know it when you see it.

New life can't be contained.

It bursts forth everywhere.

 

HAPPY EASTER!
