A quotation from Herbert Hoover
In the Middle Ages it was the fashion to wear hair shirts to remind one’s self of trouble and sin. Many years ago I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The President differs only from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.

Quote of the day, 4 October: St. Teresa of Avila
Being in prayer on the feastday of the glorious St. Peter, I saw or, to put it better, I felt Christ beside me; I saw nothing with my bodily eyes or with my soul, but it seemed to me that Christ was at my side—I saw that it was He, in my opinion, who was speaking to me.
I immediately went very anxiously to my confessor to tell him.
I could do nothing but draw comparisons in order to explain myself. And, indeed, there is no comparison that fits this kind of vision very well. Since this vision is among the most sublime (as I was afterward told by a very holy and spiritual man, whose name is Friar Peter of Alcántara and of whom I shall speak later and by other men of great learning) and the kind in which the devil can interfere the least of all, there are no means by which those of us who know little here below can explain it.
And what a good image of Christ God took from us now in the blessed Friar Peter of Alcántara! The world cannot at this time endure so much perfection. They say that our health is weaker and that these times are not like those of the past. Yet this holy man belonged to the present age.
But he was very old when I came to know him, and so extremely weak that it seemed he was made of nothing but tree roots.
Aware then of the little, or nothing at all, I could do to avoid these impulses [in prayer], which were so great, I also feared having them…. The Lord was pleased to remove a great part of my trial—and then all of it—by bringing to this city the blessed Friar Peter of Alcántara, whom I already mentioned….
He is the author of some small books in the vernacular on prayer that are now popular, for as one who practiced it well himself he wrote in a very helpful way for those who are given to prayer. He observed the first rule of the blessed St. Francis in all its rigor besides the other things mentioned to some extent above.
Afterward the Lord was pleased that I receive more help from him—through the counsel he gave me about many matters—than I did during his life. I have often seen him in the greatest glory.

Quote of the day, 6 June: Sr. Louise of Mercy, OCD
Of all the French nuns of the seventeenth century, none is more intriguing than Sister Louise of Mercy, the former Louise de la Vallière, the mistress of Louis XIV.
Louise de la Vallière was born at Orléans in 1645, the step-daughter of the Marquis de Saint-Rémy. She was brought to Paris and presented at the court of Louis XIV, the Sun King, that absolute monarch who was driving and goading France to its point of greatest national prominence.
Louis XIV was a short, rugged, rather handsome man in a heavy-featured way, and he had a series of mistresses during his long reign. The young girl from Orléans caught his eye, and he immediately installed her as his mistress and court favorite. “Bid me die or leave me,” the king said to her.
Louise was apparently a woman of rare charm and she enchanted the court.
A blonde with sapphire eyes, she walked with a slight limp. The poet La Fontaine wrote of her that she had “grace more beautiful than beauty.” And an enemy of hers, commenting on her soft, low-pitched voice, said that “it was so sweet that no one who ever heard it could ever forget it.” Louise bore the king three illegitimate children and she seemed to be genuinely in love with him.
But she suffered the fate of court mistresses, and after a few years, the king replaced her with his then-current favorite, Madame Athénaïs de Montespan. Louise, then only twenty-four, was deeply stricken and she retired from court circles, depressed, confused, and anguished.
During a five-year period Louise recovered herself, repented of her past conduct, and embarked on a severe program of penance.
At the age of twenty-nine she sought admission to the Carmel on the rue Saint-Jacques [the first Discalced Carmelite monastery in France]. Bossuet preached the sermon at her profession a year later in 1675, and the event was the sensation of Paris.
Louise of Mercy spent the remaining thirty-five years of her life in the convent, and she was an exemplary nun, faithful, cheerful, and extremely penitential.
During the period immediately before she entered the convent, she had written a treatise about the mercy of God, and in 1680, the prioress published this monograph anonymously under the title Reflections on the Mercy of God. However, the authorship of the book published by the Carmel was quite evident, and it became the talk of Paris.
The most delightful scene in the life of Louise de La Vallière occurred shortly after she had entered the convent when she was visited by Athénaïs de Montespan, her successor as the king’s mistress.
It was a scene which could only have transpired between two women.
The lady of the court sat on the other side of the convent grille and chatted amiably with the nun who, according to witnesses, seemed to bear the visit with amused indifference. As Mademoiselle de Montespan rose to leave, she mentioned that she was returning to the palace and would see the king, and then asked: “Is there anything you would like me to say to the king for you?”
Louise bowed her head slightly toward her visitor.
“Whatever you like, Madame, whatever you like.”
Then she turned and walked slowly away.

Quote of the day, 16 March: St. Teresa of the Andes
The Carmelite must ascend the Tabor of Carmel and be clothed with the garments of penance that will make her more like Jesus. And, as He, she wants to be transformed, to be transfigured in order to be converted into God.
The Carmelite must ascend Calvary. There she will immolate herself for souls. Love crucifies her; she dies to herself and to the world. She is buried, and her tomb is the Heart of Jesus; and from there she rises, is reborn to a new life and spiritually lives united to the whole world.

Pope St. John Paul II affirms that “praying for the souls in purgatory is the highest act of supernatural charity.” The Church, ever conscious of her vocation to love, has always been animated by this fraternal charity, inviting her children to pray and do penance on behalf of the faithful departed. This is expressly approved by the Bible: “It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins” (2 Mac 12:46). In response to this invitation, the Carmelite Order through the centuries of her existence, has developed a strong sense of communion with the suffering Church (the souls in purgatory).

“Cain sired evil cunning man-killers banished from heartlove born in hatred giants and fiends jealous man-eaters long without penance.”

Oh, my soul! Let the will of God be done; this suits you. Serve and hope in His mercy, for He will cure your grief when penance for your faults will have gained some pardon for them. Don’t desire joy but suffering.
O, true Lord and my King! I’m still not ready for suffering if Your sovereign hand and greatness do not favor me, but with these, I shall be able to do all things.

I have desired, and I have been desired;
But now the days are over of desire,
Now dust and dying embers mock my fire;
Where is the hire for which my life was hired?
Oh vanity of vanities, desire!Longing and love, pangs of a perished pleasure,
Longing and love, a disenkindled fire,
And memory a bottomless gulf of mire,
And love a fount of tears outrunning measure;
Oh vanity of vanities, desire!Now from my heart, love’s deathbed, trickles, trickles,
Drop by drop slowly, drop by drop of fire,
The dross of life, of love, of spent desire;
Alas, my rose of life gone all to prickles,–
Oh vanity of vanities, desire!Oh vanity of vanities, desire;
Stunting my hope which might have strained up higher,
Turning my garden plot to barren mire;
Oh death-struck love, oh disenkindled fire,
Oh vanity of vanities, desire!Christina Rossetti
Soeur Louise De La Misericorde (1674)
Sr. Louise de la Miséricorde – Who are you?
Louise de La Vallière (1644 – 1710, Sister Louise of Mercy, O.C.D.)
Her Life
In some respects, we could say that the life of Louise de la Vallière, who lived in the 17th century, parallels that of many seekers of God in our own time. Living at the most brilliant court in French history, Versailles, she was loved and adored by the Sun King Louis XIV, whom she sincerely loved and who bore her four children out of wedlock.
Louise de la Baume le Blanc lost her beloved father at an early age and was soon abandoned by her mother, who sought only luxury and a third marriage to continue her worldly life. By nature, Louise was quite the opposite: reserved and modest, no doubt due to the religious upbringing of her childhood. But life at the court of Versailles had all the makings of a dazzling experience for the 15-year-old, who became maid of honor to the Duchess of Orléans, wife of Louis XIV’s brother. Her great reserve and frankness won the respect of many, who saw a radical contrast between the vanity of the courtiers and this woman who, despite being Louis XIV’s mistress for six years, commanded respect. The general public, not inclined to love the King’s favorites, spoke of Louise with indulgence.
Of her relationship with the King, it can be said that “Louise revealed her passionate nature. Beneath a gentle, peaceful exterior lurked an ardent flame that pushed her forward, recklessly disregarding the consequences.” But she was also a woman of indisputable qualities of mind, and the King would not have found her appealing had she lacked those qualities. “She had a lot of spirit. She had a big, steadfast, generous, tender, and compassionate heart, far removed from vanity and capable of strong commitment.” She loved the King for himself and not for what he represented, which is why the King, usually so fickle in his love affairs, remained deeply attached to her for six years.
Louise did not experience serenity in this love, as her conscience tormented her every day as she crossed paths with the King’s wife, Queen Marie-Thérèse. But life at court, with all its jealousies and scheming, quickly took its toll on this passionate love, at least on the King’s side, while Louise took more than fifteen years to detach herself from the King. It was now Madame de Montespan who, unsatisfied with merely taking her place in the King’s heart, used all her resources to humiliate Louise, who continued to love the King, for several years.
The Road to Conversion
Six years had passed since the King abandoned Louise for Madame de Montespan. Louise still lived at the court of Versailles, but now she had more free time and a renewed taste for reading. She regularly heard Bossuet’s sermons, and even the admonitions she received didn’t change her, as she still held out hope of winning back Louis XIV’s heart. But life took its toll. Following an illness that brought her to death’s door, Louise realized how short and fragile life was. She begged heaven not to die in sin. She remembered the faith of her childhood. She agreed to go to confession. She now saw more clearly the games the King played. She finally understood that she had been led astray. Only God deserved to be loved the way she had loved!
Although she realized that “a soul in the world, without prayer, reflection, and consulting God on its conduct, is like a rudderless vessel in the midst of a storm,” she didn’t yet renounce the world. She decided to stay at court, choosing to suffer humiliation in order to be like Jesus. It was the beginning of a journey of conversion. “How many abuses, jokes, and denigrations did she have to suffer during the two years she remained at court?”
Towards Carmel
Louise could have been bogged down in the penitential practices of the time, but fortunately for her, a priest told her: “I only ask you to look at Him.” Yes, look at Christ, rich in Mercy! Then came the providential arrival in Versailles of Bossuet, who became the Dauphin’s tutor, with whom Louise could meet as often as she needed to put her life in order. She led an increasingly secluded life, spending long hours in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
As Bossuet got to know her during spiritual direction, he advised her to give herself completely to God and to choose an order such as Carmel. Louise was immersed in reading The Way of Perfection by Saint Teresa of Avila. This reading deeply moved her. So she accompanied a friend to the Carmel of Faubourg St. Jacques in Paris. She was immediately seduced by the Carmelites’ way of expressing themselves and their freedom of spirit. She was told that the rule was strict, but this only served to further attract this soul thirsting for the absolute. At first, the prioress was reluctant to take on a woman whose life and morals had been the subject of scandal. But Bossuet had no trouble convincing the prioress of Louise’s absolute sincerity and repentance, and of her desire to devote herself to God. All the more so as he appreciated her way of acting “gently, slowly.” The law of graduality!
She was given the name Sr. Louise de la Miséricorde (Louise of Mercy)
Her resolution to enter Carmel was strengthened. “The whole Court was edified and astonished by her tranquility and joy, which increased as the time approached.” On 16 April 1674, at the age of 30, she entered Carmel [her clothing followed on 2 June 1674]:
“Mother,” murmured Louise de la Vallière, “I have made such a poor use of my will all my life. I have come to place it in your hands, never to take it back again.”
“Enter, my daughter. From now on, your name will be Louise de la Miséricorde” [Louise of Mercy].
Beyond the gates, many did not believe in Louise’s vocation. But at the convent, she astonished the sisters with her regularity, gentleness, calm, and the ease with which she complied with the rule down to the smallest detail. There was an absolute humility about her! She loved the silence where God spoke to her soul, and she suffered when Queen Marie-Thérèse and other court nobility asked her to come to the parlor. Her earthly love was definitively dead; all she felt in her heart was divine love. It now enabled her to endure anything.
On the day of her profession (3 June 1675), as some of the guests wept, Louise could say:
“You must rejoice in my fate, for on this day I am only beginning to be happy.”
Surrendering herself totally to the One whom her heart loves more than anything else, she advanced along the mystical path.
“I am so tranquil about everything that can happen that I look at health, illness, rest, work, joy, and sorrow with the same equanimity. I close my eyes and let myself be led to obedience.”
She spent more than 30 years in Carmel, admired by all for her humility and detachment, but above all for the quality of her love for God.
“The souls who, after having had the misfortune of losing you, receive the grace of returning to you, and instead of encountering the rigor of a severe judge, find there the tenderness of a charitable father.”
Louise, now an elderly woman, underwent a daily martyrdom, her body nothing but sores and pain. Her migraines were throbbing.
On 6 June 1710, Louise de la Baume Le Blanc, Duchesse de la Vallière, died at the age of 65. As soon as news of her death spread, crowds began to gather behind the gate of the monastery. Many asked the nuns to allow objects to touch the Carmelite’s body. The word “saint” was increasingly murmured when people talked about Louise.
Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve wrote of her: “When we read the chapter of the Imitation of Christ where divine love is discussed, Madame de la Vallière is one of those living figures who explain it to us in her own person, and who best comment on it” [Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve was a prominent 19th-century French literary historian and critic, known for his biographical approach to literary criticism].
Our thanks to the Discalced Carmelites of Quebec for this marvelous biography, which was largely inspired by Monique de Huertas’ biography of the life of Sister Louise (Huertas, Monique de 1998, Louise de La Vallière: De Versailles Au Carmel, Pygmalion/G. Watelet, Paris).
If you first learned about Louise de la Vallière from reading Alexandre Dumas‘ d’Artagnan Romances, or as the inspiration for the English word lavalier, now you know the rest of her story.

A quick update from my blog. New stories showing up this week, including a satirical sequel to #dantesinferno I call "Escape from the Ninth Circle."
This story will discuss #prisonreform, #forgiveness, #penance, and whether or not eternal punishment and an all-forgiving God can coexist. Given that those concepts are diametrically opposed.
See you soon!

As a #penance I had a #cold #shower … well the brrrr shower lasted about ten seconds. Most of it was warm and I smell like a #Lynx. My brother-in-law gave me a shower gel, #flavoured with #coconut and #black #pepper, to wash away my capitalist suckering …
I have not washed my hair for several months and that continues. The #hair and #scalp do #adjust but it is a hard call … Marketing has producted our hair … :netkitty:
