Pauline-Marie Jaricot (1799–1862): A Soul on Fire u

Beatified May 22 u

Father Philippe Curbelié

As the French Revolution was disrupting Europe and affecting both society and the Church, Pauline-Marie Jaricot was born in Lyon on July 22, 1799, to pious, middle-class parents who were deeply devoted to the Church. The youngest in a family of seven children, she enjoyed an intimate relationship with the Lord very early in life through her visits to the Blessed Sacrament and frequent reception of Holy Communion. Later on she enjoyed elegance and worldly things, until one Sunday in 1816, in the church in Saint-Nizier, a sermon by young Father Würtz on vanity launched her true interior conversion: at the age of 17, she decided to abandon her fancy clothes, her jewels, her novels, etc.
