Modern Means

Louis Marie de Montfort is very much of our time and would have used radio, television, mass rallies, and pilgrimages with daring, imagination, and skill. He was never concerned about what “they” would think—whether powerful or pious—and went to any lengths of flamboyance to drive home his message. Yet the response was not ephemeral or simply emotional; it was solid and lasting, because it was a response to the message of his own crucified life.

The results of his missions were soon evident in the many churches restored, pilgrimage centers established, contributions given to the poor, and in the real spiritual renewal brought about in the dioceses he had visited.
