Mother Madeleine of Saint Joseph, Carmelite of France

Abstract

Mother Madeleine of Saint Joseph was the first French prioress of the Carmel of the Incarnation. She was a formator, prioress, mystic and spiritual leader of the Carmelites of France. Madeleine of Saint Joseph, charged as a young woman with the formation of the new Carmelites, was a trusted and steady leader during whose lifetime fifty-two Carmelite convents were established in France. Both Madame Barb Acarie and Mother Madeleine were close associates of Pierre de Bérulle who was a pivotal figure in the development of the Carmel as well as the founder of the French Oratory.
