"Hearts Have A Secret Language":The Spiritual Language Of Francis De Sales And Jane De Chantal, Wendy M. Wright
"Hearts Have A Secret Language":The Spiritual Language Of Francis De Sales And Jane De Chantal, Wendy M. Wright
Vincentian Studies
Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal’s spiritual friendship lasted from 1604 to 1622. They co-founded the community of the Visitation of Holy Mary, and their relationship “brought them both to the fullness of their human potential and closer to . . . the radical and self-giving love of God.” Both saw all forms of human love as the way to return to the source of love, God. Friendships were particularly important for creating devout souls, which would transform the world in to the image of the loving God. This article examines Francis and Jane’s relationship to see how this …
The Seventeenth-Century School Of French Spirituality, Raymond Deville S.S.
The Seventeenth-Century School Of French Spirituality, Raymond Deville S.S.
Vincentian Studies
The French school of spirituality, a controversial term, can include all the leaders of the Church’s renewal in seventeenth-century France or can be limited to Pierre de Berulle and his first followers. This article describes some of the school’s main figures (Berulle, Charles de Condren, Jean-Jacques Olier, and John Eudes), its characteristics, and representative texts. The school’s leaders were mystics who underwent profound spiritual evolutions. They adored God, focused on forming a relationship with Jesus, and were devoted to the Spirit and Mary. They saw the Church and moral actions as the continuation of Jesus’s work. Their missionary commitment was …
Saint Vincent And Saint Louise In Relation To The French School Of Spirituality, Raymond Deville S.S.
Saint Vincent And Saint Louise In Relation To The French School Of Spirituality, Raymond Deville S.S.
Vincentian Studies
Raymond Deville holds that Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac were of the French school of spirituality, but were not totally Berullian. The French school focused on domestic and foreign missions and was concerned with the renewal of parish life, the education of the poor, and the formation of priests. With regard to formation, the French school accepted only what would be called major seminarians today and stressed the necessity of having a vocation for the priesthood, ideas that were both unusual for the time. However, Vincent’s conception of Jesus was simpler and more practical than that of other …
The Relationship Of Saint Vincent And Saint Louise From His Perspective: A Personal And Theological Inquiry, Hugh O'Donnell
The Relationship Of Saint Vincent And Saint Louise From His Perspective: A Personal And Theological Inquiry, Hugh O'Donnell
Vincentian Studies
Vincent de Paul related to Louise de Marillac as a spiritual director, a collaborator, and a close friend. He helped her to accept her suffering and to trust Providence and herself. United by their love of God and their desire to serve the poor, they were equals in their collaboration with the Confraternities of Charity and the Daughters of Charity. He relied on her good judgment and organizational abilities. They appreciated how they complemented each other and saw their friendship as existing in God. Although there were two years of strain in their relationship over differences regarding the Daughters of …
Vincent De Paul's Discernment Of His Own Vocation And That Of The Congregation Of The Mission, Douglas Slawson C.M.
Vincent De Paul's Discernment Of His Own Vocation And That Of The Congregation Of The Mission, Douglas Slawson C.M.
Vincentian Studies
Vincent de Paul discovered his vocation and that of the Congregation in several ways. These were fulfilling the Church’s needs, seeking evidence of God’s will in events, and obeying God’s will, either as mandated by superiors or by following inspiration that responded to events. Such inspiration was always carefully examined before being put into practice. These elements are traced through Vincent’s life and career. Through work with Pierre de Berulle, he saw the need for properly formed priests, especially for country parishes. His ministry on the Gondi estates, especially the mission at Folleville, further convinced him of the poor’s need …
Religious Women In The World In Italy And France During The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, Massimo Marocchi
Religious Women In The World In Italy And France During The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, Massimo Marocchi
Vincentian Studies
Communities of religious women living and working outside the cloister had been founded before the Daughters of Charity, but they often came under the control of the diocesan bishops and were cloistered later. The article focuses on two Italian groups, the Company of Saint Ursula and the Angelic Sisters of Saint Paul, as well as other companies of women in France and Italy, including the Visitation Nuns of Francis de Sales. The Ursulines, unmarried virgins, lived with their families, gathering periodically to hear sermons and assisting at mass. The Ursulines spread to France, where they were usually cloistered; they educated …
The Superior General Of The Congregation Of The Mission And The Daughters Of Charity, Miguel P. Flores C.M.
The Superior General Of The Congregation Of The Mission And The Daughters Of Charity, Miguel P. Flores C.M.
Vincentian Studies
The relationship of the Congregation’s superior general to the Daughters of Charity is explored from a historico-juridical perspective. Authority over the Daughters was granted to Vincent de Paul, but not to his successors. Louise de Marillac saw to it that the superior general would govern and direct the Daughters in perpetuity. The following topics are discussed: how the Daughters went from confraternity to community status; the specific ways in which the superior general leads them and how his authority developed from the Daughters’ beginning until the twentieth century; nineteenth century disputes about his authority over the Daughters, which included schisms …
