MARMION, COLUMBA - Portrait.
MARMION, COLUMBA. - Benedictine ascetical writer, in the world Giuseppe, b. at Dublin on 1 April 1858, d. at Maredsous on 30 Jan. 1923 in the odor of sanctity. Ordained priest in Rome on 16 June 1881, he was a curate at Dundrum, then professor of philosophy at Clonliffe. He entered the Benedictine abbey of Maredsous on 21 Nov. 1886. He was prior of Mont-César at Louvain in 1899, then abbot of Maredsous on 28 Sept. 1909. He helped to renew in the Church the understanding of the mystery of Jesus Christ with his now classic works of spirituality, particularly marked by the doctrine of St. Paul.
He published: Le Christ vie de l'âme (Maredsous 1914; Italian trans., Milan 1921); Le Christ dans ses mystères (Tamines 1919; Italian trans., Turin 1941); Le Christ idéal du moine (Paris 1922; Italian trans., Padua 1931); Sponsa Verbi (Bruges 1923; Italian trans., Padua 1924). These volumes were translated into seven languages. Pope Benedict XV declared that he made use of them for his spiritual life; he advised Msgr. Szepticky: "read them; it is the pure doctrine of the Church." Dom Thibaut has published a certain number of M.'s letters.
