Simple dans ma virtue, Forte dans mon devoir!

New adventures begin for my little ones. Baby Jesus knows my heart and my prayers for them. And they are all yours, my Mother! 

Simple dans ma virtue, Forte dans mon devoir!
worthy words to live up to and to wear! - that is the hope!


As we sat down and read her Student Planner 2020..., I was reminded of this, the hymn to Fr Barre. It was an integral part of my spiritual journey when I was a child growing up.

These words are beautiful! Choisissez-vous un essaim d'ouviere, Par le seigneur a votre attiree. Dans l'institut conservez d'age en age - Un zele ardent, l'humilite, la foi! Le pur amour, la force et le courage - Pour obsever a jamais votre loi, pour obsever a jamais votre loi!

Blessed Nicholas Barre, ora pro nobis, please.

De vos enfants exaucez la priere
Veillez sur nous O Saint Pere Barre
Choisissez-vous un essaim d'ouviere
Par le seigneur a votre attiree
Dans l'institut conservez d'age en age

Un zele ardent, l'humilite, la foi
Le pur amour, la force et le courage

Pour obsever a jamais votre loi
O hear our prayer, most holy Father Barre
We are your children, watch o'er us we pray
Touch many hearts to follow in your footsteps
To delicate their lives to youth and poor

Drawn by the Lord to make Christ known and loved
Fill us with zeal, humility and faith

Pure love and strength and courage without fear
To keep your spirit alive in our hearts
