French School of Spirituality

The French School of Spirituality (French: École française de spiritualité) is a term used to describe a major current of Catholic spirituality that emerged in France during the Counter-Reformation in the early seventeenth century. Associated with Pierre de Bérulle and the circle surrounding the French Oratory, the movement emphasized the mystery of the Incarnation, the interior life, participation in the states of Jesus, sacerdotal holiness, contemplative prayer, and the renewal of Christian society.
