Madeleine Sophie Barat 1779 1865 PDF Download

Excerpt from Life of Blessed Madeleine Sophie Barat: Foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart, 1779-1865 Madeleine Sophie Barat was born at Joigny in Burgundy on December 12, 1779. Her birth, hastened as it was by an alarm of fire, nearly cost her mother her life, and for some time the child was delicate and fragile. She gained strength by degrees, however, and soon her bright wit and merry ways showed that an exuberance of life was there, while the unusual depth of her affections revealed a heart capable of intense and ardent love.
