The Homily at the Funeral Mass for Jean Madiran

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

The conclusion of the Homily given at the funeral mass of Jean Madiran, Monday, August 5, 2013 at Notre Dame des Armées at Versailles, by Dom Louis-Marie, Abbot of the Abbey of Sainte- Madeleine du Barroux.

“ I conclude by citing our brother oblate, for Jean Madiran had received the scapular under the patronage of St. John the Baptist, he who cried out in the desert. Jean Madiran said: ’true action is the daughter of prayer, and in the case of those who are not active enough or act badly, it is because they do not pray enough, not that they pray too much. It is in prayer that each of us finds the strength and the will to engage in action to the extent if his ability. This true of all action; political action is no exception.’

We pray during this holy Mass according to the Extraordinary Form which Jean Madiran loved, not for emotional but theological reasons. We pray that our brother may behold with his own eyes the countenance of God, and that what he sowed may bear abundant fruit.

Amen”
