title: True Devotion to Mary: with Preparation for Total Consecration (Tan Classics)
author: St. Louis De Montfort
description: <DIV>The author of <I>The Secret of the Rosary</I> and the originator of total consecration to Mary, St. Louis-Marie Grignion De Montfort (1673-1716) remains one of the greatest apostles of Marian devotion the world has ever known. As a young priest, De Montfort dedicated himself to preaching to the people. This highly gifted orator&#39;s language was simple but full of divine love, much as you will find in <I>True Devotion to Mary</I>. De Montfort s whole life was marked by constant prayer, love for the poor and holy joy in humiliations and persecutions. De Montfort was canonized by Pius XII in 1947.</DIV>
