    « Je vous dis bien simplement Grignon-Orly, le 19 août 1903 Monseigneur Je suis prêtre, j’ai 27 ans, et un peu de bonne volonté.

J‘ai étudié et je crois avoir compris l’étendue des obligations de la vie religieuse dans la Congrégation. La charité surtout, la simplicité, l’obéissance aveugle, et j’espère que, Dieu aidant, je pourrai malgré certains défauts que n’a pas complètement déracinés l’année de noviciat, n’être pas trop encombrant pour mes supérieurs et mes confrères de demain. Quant à la vie de mission, je l’ai toujours envisagée, dès l’âge de 12 ans, comme la vie d’un homme qui veut se sacrifier et s’immoler pour le salut des Daniel Brottier, 16 ans, âmes, vite ou goutte à goutte, qu’importe ! Si cependant il m’était permis avec sa famille (8 déc 1892) d’exprimer une préférence, ce serait pour la première éventualité. C’est vous dire, Monseigneur, que la tête ne me tient pas trop sur les épaules, j’ai du reste de bonnes raisons pour cela. Je ne voudrais pas être présomptueux, mais, si vous avez un poste plus périlleux, où il faille risquer quelqu’un, je vous dis bien simplement : Prêtre du diocèse de Blois, Surveillant puis professeur ME VOICI ! au collège de Pontlevoy, 1899-1902 [Lette à Mgr Leroy pour être admis dans la Congrégation Missionnaire au Sénégal, du St Esprit] 1903-1911 1903, au moment de son départ pour le Sénégal Daniel Brottier, initiateur du corps des aumôniers volontaires Depuis 1911 Lorsqu’éclate la guerre , Daniel Brottier est à Paris.

  • Drôles De Saints !
    Odile Haumonté DRÔLES DE SAINTS ! 30 fioretti Éditions des Béatitudes - 1 - Anne et les vêtements sales Premiers mots Le 25 novembre 1545, c’est la joie dans la famille de don Diego de Lobera : une petite Ana est née. Cette noble famille espagnole de Castille n’est pas très riche, mais c’est une famille où règnent la prière et l’amour. Cristobal se penche sur le berceau de sa sœur. Dona Francesca, leur mère, lui sourit : – Bientôt, tu pourras jouer avec elle, promet-elle. Ana grandit et ses parents doivent se rendre à l’évi- dence : l’enfant est sourde et muette. Puis une terrible épreuve les frappe cruellement : don Diego meurt, laissant Francesca seule avec ses deux enfants, alors qu’Ana n’est âgée que de quelques mois. Courageuse- ment, la jeune femme élève Cristobal et Ana en priant sans cesse pour la guérison de sa fille. À sept ans, Ana est une très jolie petite fille. Elle suit sa mère partout, caresse les images saintes sur les murs de la maison et fixe les lèvres de sa maman quand Francesca récite le chapelet. 14 Drôles de saints ! – Ave Maria… (Ce qui veut dire : Je vous salue Marie…) Francesca sursaute et regarde sa fille. Ana, les yeux levés vers une image de Marie, répète d’une voix douce : – Ave Maria… – Ana ? La fillette se tourne vers elle : – Maman ! Francesca fond en larmes : – Ana, tu parles ! Cristobal, viens vite ! Oh, merci, Marie ! C’est un miracle ! Scandale au cours du festin Durant deux ans, Francesca apprend beaucoup de choses à sa fille qui l’écoute avec attention, mais ne parle pas beaucoup, comme si son cœur était sans cesse en conversation avec Dieu.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Spiritan Papers by an authorized editor of Duquesne Scholarship Collection. THE LIFE AND WORK OF FATHER DANIEL BROPTIER Father Brottier's entire life was filled with God, the God of love whose tenderness and mercy St. ThBrBse of Lisieux showed out afresh at the end of the nineteenth century, tinged as it still was with Jansenism. His life was oriented towards "the poor and little ones", from Senegal to Auteuil - God's chosen ones. It was enlivened by a faith that swept all obsta- cles aside, that motivated his every action and kept him in close union with God. Daniel Brottier was born on 7 September 1876 at La FertB-Saint-Cyr, a pretty little village not far from the town of Chambord in the Department of Loire-et-Cher. The house he was born in lay close to the ch2teau; his father was coachman to the Marquis of Durfort. He always wanted to be a priest, and started learning Latin even before he started school. His little witticism, "I will be Pope", had a depth beyond the ordi- nary, it revealed his personality unambiguously, his first indica- tion of the "all or nothing" that marked the main steps of his life : missionary in Dakar, priest in the trenches in 19 14- 19 18, builder of the Dakar cathedral and of the Auteuil chapel.

Il exerce alors pendant près de 20 ans, en Vendée d’abord, puis à Paris où il est connu comme le “médecin des pauvres”. Très engagé sur le plan social, il se lance en politique. Député de la Seine dès 1870, puis ensuite sénateur du Var en 1902, il est nommé en 1906 ministre de l’Intérieur et président du Conseil, fonctions qu’il cumulera jusqu’en 1909. Chef du gouvernement en 1917, il le reste jusqu’à la fin de la Grande guerre. Son programme de gouvernement tient, dit-il, en trois points : " la guerre, la guerre et la guerre ", ce qui lui vaut le surnom de " Tigre " d’abord, puis de " Père la Victoire " à partir de 1918. Il meurt le 24 novembre 1929 à Paris. Le père Daniel BROTTIER Né à La Ferté Saint-Cyr (Loir-et-Cher) le 7 septembre 1876, le père Daniel Brottier est, aujourd’hui encore, une figure légendaire en France et dans le monde : bâtisseur de la cathédrale de Saint-Louis du Sénégal, célèbre aumônier militaire de la Grande Guerre, bienfaiteur des Orphelins Apprentis d’Auteuil et, surtout, fondateur de l’Union nationale des combattants.
