A New Look At An Old Temptation: Saint Vincent De Paul's Temptation Against Faith And Resolution To Serve The Poor, Stafford Poole C.M., Douglas Slawson C.M. Oct 1990

A New Look At An Old Temptation: Saint Vincent De Paul's Temptation Against Faith And Resolution To Serve The Poor, Stafford Poole C.M., Douglas Slawson C.M.

Vincentian Studies

According to Vincent de Paul’s first biographer, Louis Abelly, Vincent prayed to have a temptation against faith transferred to him to free a doctor of theology who was originally suffering from it. The temptation continued for three or four years until Vincent resolved to serve poor persons. While many biographers have accepted this story, its truth is doubtful for many reasons besides those that follow. Vincent never spoke of having this temptation himself. He never would have prayed for a transfer of temptation without advice from his spiritual director, and this advice would not have been given. The temptation would …

"Hearts Have A Secret Language":The Spiritual Language Of Francis De Sales And Jane De Chantal, Wendy M. Wright

Vincentian Studies

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.

Saint Vincent And Saint Louise In Relation To The French School Of Spirituality, Raymond Deville S.S. Apr 1990

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 …
