The Daughters of Charity are today the largest community of Catholic women, with 15,000 sisters in about 100 countries. They devote their lives to serving the poorest in hospitals, schools, and care centers for homeless or migrants, as well as working to promote social justice. Each year, millions of Miraculous Medals are sent all over the world from their motherhouse in Paris, where Catherine Laboure? had visions of the Virgin Mary in 1830. Until now, however, the history of the Daughters of Charity has been almost wholly neglected. The opening of their central archives, combined with access to many public and private archives, has finally allowed this to be remedied. This volume, the fruit of several years work, covers the history of the Company from its foundation by Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac as a confraternity of young women to the suppression of the order during the French Revolution. The study, at the juncture of women s history and religious history, shows how much the Daughters of Charity contributed to the emergence of a new and ambiguous status in post-Tridentine society: neither cloistered nuns nor married women, but seculars. The Company has certainly offered a framework that enabled many resolute women to lead lives out of the ordinary, taking young peasant women to the royal court, intrepid hearts to Poland, and, more generally, generous souls to the martyrdom of charity among the poor and the ill. --… (altro)

Pour curieux que cela puisse paraître, les origines des Filles de la Charité doivent se chercher ailleurs qu’auprès de leur fondatrice, Louise de Marillac, ou de la première des « servantes des pauvres », Marguerite Naseau, loin aussi de Paris qui les a vu naître. Elles se trouvent ailleurs, dans une modeste paroisse de Bresse. Un prêtre, Vincent de Paul, pose sans le savoir la première pierre d’un édifice à venir. Lui-même croit fermement que Dieu seul est à l’œuvre, comme il le raconte bien après : [...]
