Today we explored the Stone Forest of #Huelgoat, one of Brittany’s most unusual places. Giant granite boulders, mossy woods and legends make it feel almost magical. We spent the night right by the lake—pure nature! 🌿🪨🏕️

If you’re looking for a nice, quiet place, you’ve found it here in #Tournemine. No shops, no bars, no restaurants. Mostly locals and very few tourists.

Saint-Malo 🏴☠️, with 47,439 inhabitants, is the most important port on Brittany’s northern coast. Its faithfully rebuilt historic centre and impressive fortifications make it one of France’s 🇫🇷 most visited destinations.

#SaintMalo has just introduced a total water use in the garden ban. You can't even water your garden with your own water stored in your own water reservoir.
Farmers are still free to irrigate rural roads with tap water though...
For those not in France, Brittany is famously wet and the rest of France makes fun of how wet and rainy it is here.

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Congregation of the Holy Spirit
Officially known as: the Congregation of the Holy Spirit under the protection of the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary. Or in Latin: Congregatio Beatissimae Virginis Mariae.
This is a religious congregation for men in the Catholic Church. Members are known as Holy Ghost Fathers. Or in continental Europe, & the Anglosphere, as Spiritans. Members use the postnominals: CSSp. Postnominals are letters placed after a person’s name to signify academic degrees, professional qualifications, awards, military decorations, or honorific titles (like PhD).
The order began in Paris on Pentecost Sunday, 1703. Claude Poullart des Places was a wealthy young lawyer who abandoned his social standing to become a priest. He wanted to form a religious institute for young men who wanted to become priests but were too poor to do so.
Unlike orders that focused on the elite, Claude was moved by the plight of “poor scholars.” HIs vision was a “proletariat” clergy. Priests assignments in hospitals, rural parishes, & overseas missions.
Claude was born on February 26, 1679 in the capital city of Brittany, France: Rennes. Claude was tutored at home before being enrolled at the age of 9-10 as a day student in the nearby Jesuit college of St. Thomas. Thus beginning his lifelong association with the Society of Jesus.
Graduating at 16, Claude studied at the University of Caen, Normandy. Before graduating at 22, with a Licentiate in Law from the Law School of Nantes. A licentiate in law is an individual holding an academic degree or professional certification. This is usually below a doctorate but above a bachelor’s, that authorizes them to practice law.
In 1701, Claude Poullart began his studies for the priesthood, as a boarder at the Jesuit College in Paris. His work grew quickly. The Order developed. However, Claude passed away at 29, or 31 depending on the source, of pleurisy after founding the order.
After the founder’s death, the order became fully organized. In 1765, the South American missions, in colonies such as China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand (Siam), & India under the support of the Paris Foreign missionaries arrived in Senegal, Africa.
Those in France served in various dioceses or alongside the de Montfont missionaries. This was due to the close friendship between Poullart & Louis de Montfont. The Order had trained 1,300 priests in the years leading up to 1792, when the seminary was suppressed by the French Revolution. The French Revolution saw the Spiritans have their property seized & many were executed or exiled to England, Italy, & Switzerland.
After the French Revolution only 1 member remained, James Bertout. He survived a series of hardships like being shipwrecked on his way to his destined mission in French Guiana, enslaved by the Moors, & a short stay in Senegal (where he had been sold to the English).
On his return to France, he reestablished the Order & continued its work. But he found it VERY hard to recover sufficiently from the effects caused by the Revolution.
In 1841/1842, Francis Liberman founded the Society of the Holy Heart of Mary (a.k.a. Society of the Immaculate Heart of Mary) This society is/was dedicated to serve mainly the emancipated black slaves in the French colonies. Particularly in Africa & the Caribbean.
In 1848, the Holy See asked Liberman to merge his relatively new society with the struggling Congregation of the Holy Spirit. Lieberman was made the 1st Superior General of the united groups. This effectively saving the Spiritan name & legacy.
Liberman’s approach to missionary work was revolutionary from the time. He instructed his missionaries not to “Europeanize” the people they served. Besides the missions in Africa, the society started missions in Mauritius, Reunion, & the Rodriguez Islands. In the Western Hemisphere, they had missions in Trinidad, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Haiti, & Amazonia.
The Spiritans arrived in the United States in 1972, fleeing the Kulturkampf (persecution of Catholics) in Germany. They found a home in industrial heartlands, particularly Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Order is known in the United States for founding Duquesne University in 1878. This university was originally established to provide an education to the kids of poor immigrants working in the steel mills. It grew into a major research institution. The university’s motto (Spiritus est qui vivificat, “It is the Spirit who gives life”) reflects the order’s charism.
By the early 20th century the organization into the following provinces: France, Ireland, Portugal, United States of America, & Germany.
On December 31, 1961, 20 Spiritans: 19 Belgians & 1 Dutch man, were unalived in Kongolo (in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) by government troops during the Katanga Secession Rebellion.
In Rome, on April 24, 1979, Pope John Paul II presided over the beautification ceremony for Jacques-Desire Laval. The 1st member of the Spiritans to be honored.
Today, there are about 3,000 Spiritans serving in over 60 countries. They’re often associated with schools & chaplaincy, & missionary work.

Ein Blick auf den Phare de l’île Vierge den wir an diesem Tag leider nicht besichtigen konnten, weil wir den Gezeiten gemäß zu spät gewesen sind. Bei Flut kann man mit einem kleinen Boot auf die Île Vierge gebracht werden und damit in weiterer Folge auch auf den Leuchtturm gelangen. Das haben wir uns später dann nicht entgehen lassen.

Ein Blick auf la Plage de Ménez Ham an der Côte des Légendes. Ménez Ham ist ein wenig so das Burgenland der Bretonen. Das dort befindliche Museum gibt spannende Einblicke in die Geschichte der Gegend.

We walked through Goulven Bay at low tide to see the beautiful dunes of Keremma. They stretch for miles, and I didn’t expect the sand to be so light in colour. As fine as flour.

Wir gingen bei Ebbe durch die Bucht von Goulven, um uns die schönen Dünen von Keremma anzusehen. Diese ziehen sich kilometerweit hinweg und einen so hellen Sand habe ich mir nicht erwartet. Fein wie Mehl. Wunderschön!
