When the Son of God came to be born amongst people, it was not in Herod’s palace but in a manger. He was not surrounded by the rich and great, but by poor shepherds.


 


It was in the cottage of the poor artisan, with Joseph and Mary that he spent the greater part of his life.


 


He wished to remind us of this visit in the circumstance of which we celebrate, today the anniversary.


 


What is the house of Lorette? The most humble, poor, dispised by all the communities of Bordeaux; some poor girls, (…) having no sure means of existence and living from day to day.


 


They got no consideration; they were mocked; dispised, treated as fools. That is why Jesus Christ chose them.


 


The fruits of this Benediction will be kept at the same cost. Let us not envy the prosperities, the glitter, and the riches.


What may we not hope? 


Jesus blessed us,


He is with us,


He will always be!” 


(Source 6, Vol. 2.455). 


 






The Benediction of 3rd February,


in the difficult times of the new-born Association,


is the mark of God,


the sign of God,


who not only blessed the work,


but in unveiling Himself: “I am He who is”,


sealed the very spirit which animated this community.

He thus confirmed the original grace.
