Carmelite QuotesQuote of the day, 17 November: Madame Acarie
O Almighty God,
Creator of Heaven and earth,
who art my Life, my only Good, and all my Joy,
I desire to offer unto Thee infinite praise and blessing
for Thy benefits since the hour of my birth,
and for having deigned to redeem me, O my Beloved!
Blessed Mary of the Incarnation, “Madame Acarie”
Prayer of Madame Acarie
Father Olivier Rousseau, O.C.D., commenting on the life of Blessed Mary of the Incarnation, notes:
After taking care of her husband Pierre until his death on 17 November 1613, and settling the inheritance, Barbe Acarie, aged forty-eight, entered the Carmel of Amiens on 15 February 1614, under the name of Sister Mary of the Incarnation. As a lay sister, she worked in the kitchen as much as her infirmities allowed her. With the agreement of the Prioress, she exercised a ministry of spiritual accompaniment to the Sisters, who asked for her help.
