Patron Saint of preachers

Quote:
I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where He became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish in her wonders beyond our understanding. She is the vast and divine world of God where unutterable marvels and beauties are to be found. She is the magnificence of the Almighty where He hid His only Son, as in His own bosom, and with Him everything that is most excellent and precious. What great and hidden things the all-powerful God has done for this wonderful creature, as she herself had to confess in spite of her great humility, “The Almighty has done great things for me.” ~from “True Devotion” by Saint Louis de Montfort

Prayer:
Saint Louis-Marie, throughout your life you endured many hardships. You endured your father’s outbursts, received mockery from worldly clergy, and struggled to fulfill your vocation. Through it all, you deepened your devotion to our Blessed Mother and entrusted yourself to God alone through her. Please pray for me, that I may live for God alone by consecrating myself totally to Jesus through Mary in imitation of you. Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
