A Journey with Thérèse Couderc: Inspiration, Liability or Possibility for Change?

Kate Stogdon

katestogdon{at}btinternet.com

Thérèse Couderc, canonized in 1970 and acclaimed for her great humility, was the founder of an apostolic religious Congregation for women in nineteenth century France. This paper investigates whether her heritage is a source of inspiration or liability for the women who look to her as a role model. Using archive material from the Congregational writings it calls attention to a more dynamic interpretation of her character, based on her commitment to what she called `the work of God'.

Key Words: Roman Catholicism • Humility • Surrender • Counter-History
