Louise de Marillac: The “Gentle Power” of Liberation
Louise de Marillac was a pioneer social worker, educator, and advocate. She experienced riches and poverty and had academic education and domestic training. She therefore understood the poor and their needs and was an able administrator and founder of works for their benefit. She prayed for “gentle power,” the ability to see Christ in all people and to use an infinite love for them to fulfill their needs. Her spirituality enabled her to see the need for individuals to change themselves and the need to address social problems.
