Sisters of Adoration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Montmartre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sisters of Adoration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Montmartre ( Latin: Congregatio Adoratricum Sanctissimi Cordis Iesu de Monte Martyrum ) are a community of nine Benedictine priests . Sometimes these priories are also called Tyburn monasteries because of their motherhouse in Tyburn . About 100 women religious belong to the Sisters of Adoration.

History and branches

The founder of the community was the French woman Adèle Garnier , who took the religious name Marie de Saint-Pierre. She was born in Burgundy in 1838 and grew up with four siblings. Later she worked for many years as an educator and teacher in an upper-class house. Since her youth she has been particularly drawn to the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus . After Marie-Adèle Garnier had begun a hermit life at the Basilica of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Montmartre in Paris , which was to be devoted as completely as possible to eternal adoration , she founded the contemplative congregation of the Sisters of Adoration of the Sacred Heart on Montmartre in 1898 Jesus of Montmartre , who gave them the Rule of Benedict .

In 1901 the young community fled to England because of the radical anti-clerical legislation ( law of July 1, 1901 ) in France. In London, Marie de Saint-Pierre of St. Peter and her sisters were able to settle in the immediate vicinity of the historic Tyburn execution site . There she died in 1924 with a reputation for holiness .

The community received papal approbation in 1930 and was accepted into the Benedictine Confederation in 1964.
