Joannes, anno millesimo sexcentesimo primo, in pago vulgo Ri, Sagiensis~
dicecesis, e piis honestisque parentibus ortus est. Adhuc puer, Angelorum pane~
refectus, perpetuam castitatem alacriter vovit. In Cadomense collegium a~
patribus Societatis Jesu directum exceptus, singulari pietate emicuit; et Mariae~
Virginis tutelae sese committens, speciale foedus initum cum ea vix adolescens~
suo sanguine signavit. Litterarum ac philosophiae curriculo multa cum laude~
peracto, spretisque sibi oblatis nuptiis, Berulliani Oratorii congregationi~
nomen dedit, et sacerdotio Parisiis auctus est. Mira caritate erga proximum~
flagravit: nam apud plura loca, corporibus, asiatica lue perculsis, animisque~
curandis sedulam operam dedit. Domus Oratorianae Cadomi rector factus, cum diu~
cogitaret ad Ecclesiae ministerium juvenes idoneos instituere, a sodalibus,~
quibuscum viginti annos vixerat, divina ope implorata, licet aegre, forti animo~
discessit.

Quinque igitur sacerdotes slbi consocians, anno millesimo sexcentesimo~
quadragesimo tertio, die festo Annuntiationis beatae Mariae Virginis,~
congregationem presbyterorum instituit, cui sanctissima Jesu et Mariae nomina~
dedit, et Cadomi primum seminarium aperuit, quod in Normannia et Britannia~
minori complura, eodem auctore, subsecuta sunt. Pro peccatricibus feminis, ad~
christianam vitam revocandis, ordinem Dominae nostrae a Caritate fundavit; cujus~
nobilissimae arboris ramus est congregatio Andegavensis a Bono Pastore. Insuper~
societatem a Matris Dei Corde admirabili, et alia caritatis opera condidit.~
Scripta plura praeclare edidit, et missionarius Apostolicus tot pagos, oppida et~
urbes ipsamque regiam aulam usque ad extremam aetatem, evangelizavit.

[Lectio6]
Singulare ejus studium emicuit in salutari devotione promovenda erga~
sacratissima Corda Jesu et Mariae, quorum liturgicum cultum eisdem praestandum~
non sine aliquo divino afflatu, primus omnium excogitavit ideoque ejusdem cultus~
pater, doctor et apostolus habitus est. Jansenistarum doctrinis fortiter~
resistens, immutatum erga Petri cathedram obsequium servavit, et pro suis~
inimicis, tamquam pro fratribus, assidue Deum precatus est. Tot laboribus,~
potius quam annis fractus, cupiens dissolvi et esse cum Christo, die decima nona~
Augusti, anno millesimo sexcentesimo octogesimo, suavia Jesu et Mariae nomina~
saepius repetens, placide exspiravit. Quem pluribus miraculis clarum Pius~
Papa decimus Beatorum albo adscripsit eumque novis signis fulgentem Pius Papa~
undecimus, anno sacro, in die Pentecostes inter Sanctos retulit ejusque~
Officium ac Missam ad universam Ecclesiam exendit.

[Lectio94]
John was born in 1601 of good, devout parents at the village of Ri in the diocese of Seez. While yet a boy, when he was refreshed with the Bread of Angels, he vowed perpetual virginity. In the schools, where he pursued his studies in a praiseworthy way, he shone for his wonderful piety. He loved the Blessed Virgin above all, and burned with great charity for his neighbour. Having joined the Berullian Congregation of the Oratory, he was ordained priest at Paris. He was made rector of the house of the Oratory at Caen, but left it, though sadly, to educate suitable young men for the ministry of the Church. To this end, with five companions, he founded the congregation of priests to which he gave the most holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and opened the first seminary at Caen, which was followed later by many others. In order to call sinful women back to a Christian life, he founded the Order of Our Lady of Charity. Of this noble tree, the Congregation of the Good Shepherd of Angers is a branch. He also founded the Society of the Admirable Heart of the Mother of God and other charitable institutions. Burning with a singular love for the most sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, he was the first to think, not without some inspiration from God, of offering them a liturgical cult. As an Apostolic Missionary, he preached the Gospel to many villages and towns. Worn out with his great labours, he died peacefully on the 19th of August, 1680. Famous for many miracles, he was numbered among the Blessed by Pope Pius X, and among the Saints by Pope Pius XI on the day of Pentecost in the holy year, and his Office and Mass were extended to the universal Church.
