On 30th May 2015 till 12 Jun 2015, my wife and I went on a pilgrimage in France with some Monfort brothers and those working in the various Monfortian schools.
I'll not say much about St Louise Marie de Monfort as you can search for information about him from the Internet. What I'll show here are some photos and what is my takeaway.
To me, St Louise Marie de Monfort showed what is essential to be a Saint - make personal choice to be faithful to the baptismal promise in one's daily life. There will be difficulties and challenges in life but by making up one's mind to be faithful (which only human can), one shows forth the glory of God in one's humanity.
Being a saint is to be truly human - simple but not easy.

The Brothers of Monfort and the Sisters of Daughters of Wisdom were really wonderful hosts. We also want to thank Fr. Raja who came down from Rome to be the Spiritual Director of the pilgrimage.
