Mother Mary de Sales Chappuis, Superior of the Visitation Monastery in both Paris and Troyes, France in the mid-1800’s, was also the inspiration for the foundation of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales through Blessed Louis Brisson.
From a conference Mother Chappuis gave:
“Why did Our Lord become incarnate? First, for the glory of His Father, then for the sake of that human nature He took upon Himself. He had received from mankind, offenses, and it was now only by an excess of goodness, an immensity of mercy, that He wished to redeem us by His Blood. If then, through pure kindness, He wished to do us so much good, it was to give us the example of what we should do for our neighbor. He wished to become like to us, to teach us kindness toward each other.”
