France in the beginning of 17th century had a face which reflected political chaos, economic imbalance and religious crisis. The counter reform crusaders were en’iu’’’’’gaged in the renewal programme in all the Dioceses. Some Bishops sponsored the Jesuits on their “Mission Programme.” They were putting their heads together to bring about a spiritual revival and recreate zeal and enthusiasm in the people of God. Out of the crisis was born the gift of new life. Jean Pierre Medaille S.J was a little hidden Mystic and Contemplative who became a powerful instrument in this work of spiritual renewal and Christian Social Action not only in France but throughout the world.
