While a seminarian he delighted in researching the writings of Church Fathers , Doctors and Saints as they related to the Blessed Virgin Mary , to whom he was singularly devoted. His way of life, his approach to living the Catholic faith and his identity as a missionary left him a marked man. Whether it was Lent, Advent, the Easter season or Ordinary Time, de Montfort carried the cross of rejection wherever he went. Of course he gave parish missions and inspired the faithful to live and love their faith, but more often than not, St. Louis was given a cold shoulder and the silent treatment by numerous bishops and fellow priests. Time and time again, he would enter a diocese to speak with the Bishop to receive permission to celebrate Mass, hear confessions, and preach missions. Many bishops who heard rumors about this strange missionary would immediately send him on his way denying him permission to do anything except leave the diocese. What is so amazing and striking about de Montfort was his total acceptance of rejection which had become his constant companion. It seems that he was quite at home with the reality that many people, especially brother priests and religious, continuously rejected him and his way of life. Again this did not alter or faze de Montfort. He made sure he kept close to Mary and followed whatever path that she placed him on. Rejection is quite common. I am sure all of us have experienced rejection and the feelings that are associated with it. Even Christ Our Lord experienced in a most profound way the rejection of others when He hung upon the Cross, dying a slow and painful death. Because rejection, however unfortunate it may be, seems a universal experience the question that remains is how do we deal with it in a manner that will give glory to God? I believe the example set by St. Louis de Montfort suggests several ways to handle rejection. One of the ways St. Louis handled rejection was by recognizing that nothing ever happens to us without God permitting it. St. Louis understood at the deepest level of his soul that God loved him and that whatever happened to him, including being rejected, did not change this fact. Another way that St. Louis handled rejection was through reflection and meditation upon the “ultimate rejection” Christ experienced on the Cross. The servant is no greater than the Master, therefore if Christ endured rejection why not us? Lastly, St. Louis turned to Mary by praying the Rosary. Through the recitation of the Rosary, Our Lady tenderly embraced St. Louis, consoled him and helped him overcome the rejection he suffered. Rejection is never easy to accept and for most of us who have experienced it, it can be downright painful. But now we have a patron saint of rejection whom we can turn to for inspiration and help.St. Louis de Montfort, pray for us! es read more
