JOLY, JEANNE-MADELEINE. - Visitandine, b. at Dijon in 1643, d. there on 19 Oct. 1708. Received into the monastery of that city at the age of 15, the Lord, who had destined her to assist St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart, first made her pass through the same path of crosses and humiliations, by means of terrible interior sufferings.
In 1678 Mother M. T. de Saumèse, having returned to Dijon, spoke to the community of the new devotion, and all accepted it and declared themselves eager to cooperate in propagating it. J. then composed litanies, a Mass and an Office of the Sacred Heart, which, with the addition of explanations and prayers, was published translated into Latin by the chaplain in 1686 (the new edition, approved by the bishop of Langres, came out three years later under the title: La dévotion au Sacré-Cœur de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ, Dijon 1689); in 1688 she drew in pencil a picture representing the Heart of Jesus surrounded by a crown of thorns, surmounted by the Cross and wrapped in flames, with small drops of blood trickling from the wound, which, once painted, was then displayed in the monastery; in 1692 she saw her desire for a Confraternity of Perpetual Adoration fulfilled, for which she dictated the rule.
