Blessed Louis Antoine Ormières
Feast day January 16 · 1809 – 1890
He had a dream: “Will the Guardian Angel go to other countries?”
He was a man seduced by the Gospel. He loved to say: “The Gospel, the holy books: that is our rule, our guide.”
Listening to the Word made him discover his own vocation and the social situation of his time. He relied on the will of God. His whole life was dedicated to serving the mission entrusted to him.
He deeply loved the Church. We discover his faithfulness in his writings.
With Saint Paul, he loved to say: “Each one receives a particular gift from God… To each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good” (1 Cor 7:7; 12:7).
“My principle has always been to do good and let people talk.”
He was driven by his faith, his upright conscience and his prayer, from which he drew the strength to comfort others: “I live from day to day.”
