“Marillac, Saint Louise de”的意思、由来-百科全书

Marillac, Saint Louise de

French saint

born Aug. 12, 1591, Paris/Ferrières, France

died March 15, 1660, Paris; canonized March 11, 1934; feast day March 15

cofounder with St. Vincent de Paul (Vincent De Paul, Saint) of the Daughters of Charity (Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, Daughters of) of St. Vincent de Paul, a congregation of laywomen dedicated to teaching and hospital work.

Louise was a member of the powerful de Marillac family and was well educated. Poor health prevented her from joining the strict order of Poor Clares, and in 1613 she married Antoine Le Gras (secretary to Queen Marie de Médicis of France), by whom she had a son, Michel. Widowed in 1625, she had already chosen Vincent de Paul as her spiritual guide, and he encouraged her to undertake charitable works. She trained girls in the spiritual life and taught them to assist in visiting, feeding, and nursing the needy.

In 1633 Vincent de Paul founded the Daughters of Charity with Louise as their superior. Because they were neither enclosed nor called nuns, their concept pioneered in bringing women into religious service outside the cloister. By the late 20th century the Daughters of Charity became the Roman Catholic church's largest congregation of women.
