Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Penitence to Charity radically revises our understanding of women's place in the institutional and spiritual revival known as the Catholic Reformation. Focusing on Paris, where fifty new religious congregations for women were established in as many years, it examines women's active role as founders and patrons of religious communities, as spiritual leaders within these communities, and as organizers of innovative forms of charitable assistance to the poor. Rejecting the too common view that the Catholic Reformation was a male-dominated movement whose principal impact on women was to control and confine them, the book shows how pious women played an instrumental role, working alongside--and sometimes in advance of--male reformers. At the same time, it establishes a new understanding of the chronology and character of France's Catholic Reformation by locating the movement's origins in a penitential spirituality rooted in the agonies of religious war. It argues that a powerful desire to appease the wrath of God through acts of heroic asceticism born of the wars did not subside with peace but, rather, found new outlets in the creation of austere, contemplative convents. Admiration for saintly ascetics prompted new vocations, and convents multiplied, as pious laywomen rushed to fund houses where, enjoying the special rights accorded founders, they might enter the cloister and participate in convent life. Penitential enthusiasm inevitably waned, while new social and economic tensions encouraged women to direct their piety toward different ends. By the 1630s, charitable service was supplanting penitential asceticism as the dominant spiritual mode. Capitalizing on the Council of Trent's call to catechize an ignorant laity, pious women founded innovative new congregations to aid less favored members of their sex and established lay confraternities to serve society's outcasts and the poor. Their efforts to provide war relief during the Fronde in particular deserve recognition.

Download or read book Lived Religion and Everyday Life in Early Modern Hagiographic Material written by Jenni Kuuliala and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the ways in which early modern hagiographic sources can be used to study lived religion and everyday life from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. For several decades, saints’ lives, other spiritual biographies, miracle narratives, canonisation processes, iconography, and dramas, have been widely utilised in studies on medieval religious practices and social history. This fruitful material has however been overlooked in studies of the early modern period, despite the fact that it witnessed an unprecedented growth in the volume of hagiographic material. The contributors to this volume address this, and illuminate how early modern hagiographic material can be used for the study of topics such as religious life, the social history of medicine, survival strategies, domestic violence, and the religious experience of slaves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette oeuvre classique présente de manière profonde et pieuse les mérites éminents de la fondatrice de l'Ordre de la Visitation-Sainte-Marie, une nouvelle histoire de sainte Jeanne de Chantal. Nous nous sommes attaché à la faire connattre surtout dans sa vie intime. Nous citons beaucoup ses lettres dont nous avons dll retoucher légerement quelques passages trop diffus. Sainte Chantal ne prévoyait pas qu'une grande parti e de sa correspondance serait conservée; ét, si elle l'ellt prévu, il est probable qu'elle n'aurait écrit que dans le cas de la plus stricte nécessité. Ses lettres sont simples, naives, écrites au courant de la plume, et disent tout son creur. Le seul moyen de la faire bien juger était donc d'en reproduire plusieurs en les rattachant aux circonstances qui les ont inspirées, c'est ce que nous avons fait. Nous pouvons avoir la consolation de faire ainsi mieux comprendre celle qui, sans y prétendre, sut se faire admirer, vénérer et chérir de tous ceux à qui il fut donné de la connaîttre pendant sa vie!
