The Mystical Journey of Louise de Marillac

“…the intimate union that God established with St. Louise was done out of pure love and enabled her (and enables us) to offer this same love to those who are poor… enables us to act as prophets and denounce the injustice of the suffering of the innocent.” – Fr. Benito Martínez Betanzos, CM. See the presentation
