Résumé
--
Beatified ten years ago by Pope John-Paul II, Agnès de Langeac was born in Puy-en-Velay in 1602. When she was still very young, she was initiated to devotion then to prayer by her successive teachers (in school, then by a Jesuit and a Dominican). She became a Dominican nun in 1623 at the monastery in Langeac (which still exists) where she was in charge of the novices before becoming prioress. She met Monsieur Olier - founder of the Compagnie de Saint-Sulpice - for whom she felt inspired to pray. She died at the age of thirty-two. Agnès de Langeac did not write. Her life is her lesson. Three lines of strength stand out: the grace she received during childhood, a life of prayer, her fascination for the mystery of the agony of Christ. She had two apostolic missions: to support women who had to give birth and the training of priests, in other words, if we assemble the two preoccupations, a concern for life in its beginnings! This colloquium, which took place at Langeac from 15 -17 October, 2004, assembled fifteen specialists (mostly Dominicans and Sulpiciens). It had two aims: to study, from the historical, literary and spiritual point of view, the first written testimonies of Agnes's life (the manuscript of Father Panassière published by Ed. du Cerf in 1994 and that of Father Boyre, published by Arfuyen in 2005) and to present today's realisations for spiritual training, influenced by Agnès de Langeac.
