On September 3, 2000, Pope John Paul II beatified William Joseph Chaminade, the founder of the Marianists.
Ordained to the priesthood in 1785 with a doctorate in theology, William returned to the minor seminary of Saint Charles in Mussidan, France, run by his brothers, Jean-Baptiste and Louis.
There, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, specially honored under the title of the Immaculate Conception, held central importance.
I like the fact that devotion to Mary was important.
However, the devotion should not stay in the past.
Devotion to Mary now in the present and in the future is especially important.
What do you think?
