ShareJESUS LIVING IN MARY:
HANDBOOK OF THE SPIRITUALITY OF ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Now that the privileged task of editing this volume has been completed,
it is a joy to thank the many people who so willingly assisted in its
publication.
In addition to the contributors and to the professional translators, the editors of the English edition of the Handbook express their gratitude to the members of the Company of Mary of the American Province, especially to Father Gerald Fitzsimmons (Provincial), Fathers Frank Allen, Edwin Blydenburgh, Roger Charest, Theodore Murphy; to Fathers Marcel Gendrot, Superior of the Mother House at St.Laurent-sur-Sèvre, Guy Jacob of Montreal and Jean-Louis Courchesne of the Generalate in Rome for assistance in securing illustrations for the Handbook; to Father Dorio Huot, for many years of Rome, presently of Montreal, for his scholarly, clear advice which was always deeply appreciated; to the members of the Company of Mary of the Great Britain and Ireland province, especially to Father Robert Douglas (Provincial), Fathers Paul Allerton, Fred Scragg (Assistant General), Lawrence Handley, Wilfrid Jukka and to Sister Jean Hickey of the English province; to the members of the Daughters of Wisdom of the American province, especially to Sisters Eileen Burton, Rachel Bouchard, Edna Butler, Veronica Byrne, Alice Crowell, Rosemary Gaffney, Ann Nielsen, Gertrude O’Brien, Margaret Oehrlein, Josephine Thomas, Anne Werner; to the Brothers of Saint Gabriel, especially to Brother Julien Rabiller of London, England, and Brother Adélard Faubert of Montreal, Canada.
The secretaries deserve special mention: Father Michel Bertrand, General Secretary of the Company of Mary, Rome, and Sister Marie-Paule, formerly secretary of Father General, Rome; Cindy Cassotto, secretary of the Montfort editorial office at Litchfield, Connecticut; project volunteers Diana Casey, Debby DiAngelo, Millie Higgins, Tom Higgins, Andy Lach, Tom McDermott, Aline Nelson, and Pat Zuccarelli. Thanks are due to Robert Houser of Litchfield for his expert photography work, to Sara Day for her beautiful layout designs, to Joseph Carey for accomplishing so well the difficult task of Copy Editor, to Steven Riecker and the Princeton Academic Press, to Wordworks for compiling the topical index, to Lynn McNamee for her assistance with the endnotes, to Robert White and Michael Guerin for giving up part of their summer vacation to assist in the publication of this volume. The Montfort community of Litchfield, Brother Alfonso, Ken Footit, Fathers Ronald Lloyd, Flavius Gamache and George Werner, has shown exemplary patience and support in the many months they have had to put up with the varied activities of the editorial team!
The editors of the English edition wish to thank Stephen Payne for his magnanimous service at the computer day in and day out for the last several months; his constant and faithful updating of the computer files for the entire editing process was an essential element in publishing the Handbook of Montfort spirituality.
Finally, in a special way the editors wish to thank Sisters Yvette and Marie Franck of the Daughters of Wisdom. Their joyful and skilled dedication to the publication of the Handbook was invaluable. An index to such a massive volume, even though found at the book’s back door, more often than not becomes the front door to interested readers. Sisters Marie and Yvette who prepared the Proper Name and Biblical indexes for Jesus Living in Mary, with such care and precision, not only gained the last word but became the welcoming doorkeepers offering hospitality and direction to those who would enter this treasure house of Montfort spirituality.

C. Reviews
The Company of Mary (Montfort Missionaries) publishes reviews in several countries, dealing with Montfort spirituality on a popular level. For the United States: Queen of All Hearts, published at Montfort Missionaries, Bay Shore, NY 11716.
Afterword
The resurgence of interest in the teachings of Father de Montfort has prompted many to seek ways of networking those who live his consecration spirituality. We do, therefore, urge those who integrate his doctrine in their lives, to enroll in the Association of Mary Queen of All Hearts; we would ask priests to join the Association of the Priests of Mary. Addresses of some of the centers in certain English speaking countries are given below. We also suggest that those interested in the spirituality of Saint Louis de Montfort subscribe to the Montfort review, Queen of All Hearts, which is a means of clarifying and updating the saint’s teachings and also of dialogue among the members of the associations. We again strongly request that all interested in Saint Louis de Montfort’s spirituality have the necessary companion volume to the Handbook, God Alone: The Collected Works of Saint Louis Marie de Montfort.
We also pray that some young men and women studying this volume may be drawn by the Holy Spirit to dedicate themselves to the living and proclaiming of Montfort’s spirituality by entering the core Montfort family: the Daughters of Wisdom, the Missionaries of the Company of Mary and the Brothers of Saint Gabriel, the three religious communities who trace their ancestry back to Saint Louis de Montfort himself. Although Montfort spirituality belongs to the entire Church, the custodians of this treasure, as Pope John Paul II has reminded the Company of Mary, are his "children," these "servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary who will range far and wide with the holy Gospel issuing from their mouths like a bright and burning flame and the Rosary in their hands and bay like your watchdogs, burn like fire and dispel the darkness of the world like a sun" (PM 12). We ask all to join in Montfort’s Prayer for Missionaries, so that "the face of the earth may be renewed and the Church reformed."

Shortly before the Handbook went to press, we received the news of the sudden death (on September 20, 1994) of Father Charles Underhill Quinn, of the Archdiocese of New York. He translated a number of the articles for this work and had begun translating the Hymns of Saint Louis de Montfort which were scheduled for publication in several months. A fine poet himself, he had a magnificent grasp of Father de Montfort’s canticles. Father Quinn dubbed himself a "convert to Saint Louis de Montfort," since it was only in the light of the articles in this Handbook that he said he understood the "real Montfort," so different from what he had learned by hearsay. The last lines of Saint Louis de Montfort’s Hymns translated by Father Charles Underhill Quinn, perhaps the night before his massive heart attack, are H 13:90:
To live and die with joy And so full of hope.
