Thus things recurred to their old groove as they were before the Revolution, the door moved on its old hinges, and as from Olier to the Revolution there had not been any change, the seventeenth century had still a resting-place in one corner of Paris. St.
Joseph appeared before him. He saw them distinctly. Then he heard Christ ask three times of his Virgin Mother, Where can I find a faithful servant? Cloud. Entering the gallery of the old castle, he saw a priest approaching him. It was Olier.
Mark, "There is no man that hath left house or brethren or sisters or father for my sake, but he shall receive an hundred-fold." Their scheme was ripening fast, when both Olier and Dauversiere were assailed by one of those revulsions of spirit, to which saints of the ecstatic school are naturally liable.
However, M. de Olier, Grand Vicar of the diocese, decided the dispute, by ordaining that the body should be interred in the parish church, but that the heart of Margaret Bourgeois should be deposited in the Sisters' sanctuary, that its silent presence might preserve in their hearts the odor of her virtues, and it appears that with the reception of the sacred relic, the Lord bestowed on the community the spirit of their mother, which has never departed from them.
He married Maria Olier, a pretty girl of French descent, and by her had five children: Robert Percy better known as "Bobus" born in 1770; Sydney in 1771; Cecil in 1772; Courtenay in 1773; and Maria in 1774. Sydney Smith was born on the 3rd of June; and was baptized on the 1st of July in the parish church of Woodford. His infancy was passed at South Stoneham, near Southampton.

A few years later, in 1656, the Company of Montreal obtained from M. Olier, the pious founder of the Seminary of St.
In his desire of attaining the greatest possible perfection, he betook himself to Caen, to the religious retreat of M. de Bernières. St. Vincent de Paul, who had trained M. Olier, was desirous also that his pupil, before going to find a field for his apostolic zeal among the people of Auvergne, should prepare himself by earnest meditation in retirement at St. Lazare.
Theresa, Marie d'Agreda, Ignatius de Loyola, and M. Olier, I never read them. M. Gosselin, as I have said, dissuaded me from doing so. The Lives of the Saints, written in an overwrought strain, were also very distasteful to him, and Fénelon was his rule and his limit.
I pity him for having to spend his time in reading them, and it seems to me that he ought to stop my writing this intolerable frivolity and impertinence." But Olier, like nearly all the mystics, was not merely a strange dreamer, but a powerful organizer.
