Episode 371: “God Doesn’t Hate Me After All” — How St. Louis de Montfort Changed Greg Willits’ Life

Fr. Edward sits down with Catholic speaker and author Greg Willits to explore the life and spirituality of one of the Church’s greatest Marian saints, St. Louis de Montfort—a figure Greg warmly calls “our dear friend Montfort.”

While many know St. Louis de Montfort for True Devotion to Mary, this conversation turns to a lesser-known but deeply powerful work: Love of Eternal Wisdom, the saint’s first written book. Greg shares how this often-overlooked text transformed his own spiritual life and inspired his latest project, which pairs personal reflections with selections from the original work (reprinted with permission of the Montfortian Fathers).

Together, they discuss:

• Why St. Louis de Montfort remains one of the most influential Marian saints in the Church
• The unique structure and message of Love of Eternal Wisdom
• How encountering the love of Jesus can change everything
• Why God does not hate us—and how that truth can reshape our lives
• A passage from the book that has deeply impacted Greg
• How listeners can relate to Greg’s story and find encouragement in their own journey

This conversation is an invitation to rediscover a spiritual classic—and to encounter Christ, Eternal Wisdom, in a way that brings lasting joy.
