ST. - November 18

Rose Philippine Duchesne was born in Grenoble,France, the second of seven daughters, along with one son, to Pierre-François Duchesne was a prominent lawyer and Rose-Euphrosine Périer.

After surviving a bout of smallpox which left her slightly scarred, in 1781 Rose Duchesne and her cousin Josephine were sent to be educated in the Monastery of Sainte-Marie-d'en-Haut by the com- munity of Visitandine nuns. When she began to show a strong attraction to the monastic life, her father withdrew her from the monastery school the following year and had her tutored with her cousins in the family home. In 1788 she made the decision to enter the Visitation of Holy Mary reli- gious order, despite her family's opposition.

In 1792, however, revolutionaries shut down the monastery, during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, and dis- persed the nuns. Duchesne returned to her family where she lived at their country home, along with two aunts, who had been Visitandines at Romans-sur-Isère. She attempted to continue living the Rule of Life of her Order, while serv- ing her family and those suffering from the Reign of Terror, including those imprisoned at the former monastery. With the Catholic Church again able to operate openly in France under Napoleon, in 1801 Duchesne attempted to re- establish the Visitation monastery, acquiring the buildings from its new owner. Eventually Duchesne, now the Mother Superior of the house, was left with only three companions.

While the restored Visitandine community was floundering, in northern France, Madeleine-Sophie Barat was founding the new Society of the Sacred Heart—whose members were long known as the "Madames of the Sacred Heart" from their use of that title, due to the hostility to religious communities which lingered in post-Revolutionary France. She wanted to establish a new foundation in Grenoble. Encouraged by her mentor Fr. Joseph Varin, S. J. to meet Duch- esne, in 1804 she traveled there. Duchesne accepted Barat's offer to merge the Visitation community into the Society of the Sacred Heart. The two women became immediate and lifelong friends.

In 1818, with Barat's blessing and the invitation of Bishop William Dubourg, Duchesne headed out to the with four other Sisters of the Society. After ten weeks at sea, they arrived in New Orleans. After they had rested briefly with the Ursuline nuns, they took advantage of the newly established steamboat service up the Mississippi Riv- er to travel to St. Louis, and finally settled in St. Charles, in what was then the Missouri Territory, a journey of seven weeks. The community established a new Sacred Heart convent in a log cabin there, known as the Duquette Mansion, the first house of the Society ever built outside France.

In 1841 the Jesuits asked the Sisters to join them in a new mission with the tribe in eastern , along Sugar Creek, where father Christian Hoecken was taking charge. At age seventy-one, she was not among those initially selected for the trip. Father Verhaegen insisted, "She may not be able to do much work, but she will assure success to the mission by praying for us."

In 1842 it was clear that Duchesne's health could not sustain the regime of village life and she returned to St Charles. She spent the last decade of her life living there in a tiny room under a stairway near the chapel. Toward the end of her life, she was alone, going blind, feeble, and yearned for letters from Mother Barat. She died on November 18, 1852, aged 83 and was beatified by Pope Pius XII in 1940. Pope John Paul II canonized her on July 3, 1988. HOLY INNOCENTS BOOKSHELF

Annibale Bugnini: Reformer of the Liturgy By Yves Chiron Foreword by Alcuin Reid

In this book, French historian Yves Chiron turns his attention to one of the most influential figures of 20th-century Catholicism: Annibale Bugnini, guiding spirit of liturgical reform in the period sur- rounding the . Highly controversial in his day, and down to the present, Bugnini has attracted high praise from his disciples and vilification from his detractors—but all agree that without his energetic organizational skills and access to the levers of power, the most extensive over- haul of the Roman Catholic liturgy in the history of the Church would not have taken place as it did.

Yet who was Bugnini, really? What were his formative experiences, personal ideals, intellectual assumptions, practical aims? How did he accomplish so much in so short a time? Why, after such a singular collaboration with Pope Paul VI, did he suddenly fall from grace and suffer exile? Should he be remembered as liturgiae amator et cultor, lover and servant of the liturgy (his epitaph), or as the éminence grise of an unscrupulous reinvention of Catholic worship? Can we cut through the legendary, the polemical, and the partisan, to arrive at a clear por- trait of the man and his work? Until now, there has been no biography that makes extensive use of all available documentary sources, including Bugnini’s own memoirs, Vatican publications, private correspondence, inter- views, articles, and lectures. The present book has filled this lacuna with the scholarly care and dispassionate analysis for which the author’s books are praised at all points on the ecclesiastical spectrum.
