Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Notice on Very Reverend Mother Mary of the Passion, Foundress of the Institute of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary In the noble and pious family in which she was born the last of five children, Helene Marie Philippine de Chappotin de Neuville, learned at once love of God and of the poor and faithfulness to duty. Her forefathers had valiantly fought in the great wars of France; one had been knighted by Francis I on the field of Marignan; another had been a godson of Louis XIV. But Helene was more holily proud of her kinship with the Spanish family of San Domingo which united her to St. Dominic. In 1793 one of her female ancestors had fled to the West Indies to escape the massacres under the Reign of Terror. As she was about to embark, she learned that two of her friends were in the prisons of Nantes. Carrier at that time governed and terrorized the city of the dukes of Brittany. To be imprisoned was equivalent to being condemned; to be known to the tyrant meant, sentence to death. Nevertheless, that brave woman did not hesitate to perform an action of heroic devotedness. She went to the terrible Jacobin and asked for the freedom of the two prisoners. Wild beasts sometimes have moments of gentleness. Carrier, filled with admiration for the woman´s courage, gave the order of discharge she. asked for. Hèléne was destined to inherit her courage and boldness.
