Legacy and Beatification
Saint Louis de Montfort and Marie-Louise de Jésus rest in adjacent tombs in the church of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre. The Daughters of Wisdom have since grown into a multi-national organization.
On May 16, 1993, Marie-Louise de Jésus (Trichet) was beatified by Pope John-Paul II. In the process of examining her life prior to beatification, one cardinal wrote of her:
- "She offers an example of how to work for the development of the whole human person in a spirit of sacrifice, looking for no reward, ever open to read the signs of the times with a serene and humble spirit."
On September 19, 1996, Pope John-Paul II came to meditate and pray on the tombs of St. Louis de Montfort and Blessed Marie-Louise de Jésus in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre.
