Today is the Feast day of St. Jane Frances de Chantel moved to this date from December 12 in order to celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe on that date.
St Jane Frances de Chantel founded the Visitation order for women who were rejected by other orders because of poor health or age.
Her advice always reflected her very gentle and loving approach to spirituality:
“Should you fall even fifty times a day, never on any account should that surprise or worry you. Instead, ever so gently set your heart back in the right direction and practice the opposite virtue, all the time speaking words of love and trust to our Lord after you have committed a thousand faults, as much as if you had committed only one. Once we have humbled ourselves for the faults God allows us to become aware of in ourselves, we must forget them and go forward.”
“Today, when any thoughts or worries come to mind, send them out into the ocean of God’s love that surrounds you and lose them there. If any feelings come into your heart – grief, fear, even joy or longing, send those out into the ocean of God’s love. Finally, send your whole self, like a drop, into God. There is no past no future, here or there. There is only the infinite ocean of God.”
