Jeanne Chezard de Matel

Jeanne Chzard de Matel was the French mystic who founded the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, the rule and constitutions of the order being approved in 1633. The principal objective of the order was youth education.

Jeanne was born on Nov. 6, 1596, in Roanne, in the Diocese of Lyons, France, the daughter of Jean Chzard, a French army officer and nobleman, and his wife, Jeanne Chaurier, whose first four children had been stillborn or had died as infants. Jean was baptized the same day in St. Stephens Church. Two small children who came to the door begging were her godparents. As she grew in her spirituality, she was drawn especially to Mary, the Mother of the Incarnate Word, to St. Joseph and to Michael the Archangel.
