“A single soul and a single heart turned towards God”. These words of Saint Augustine echo through the history of the Orantes de l’Assomption, a contemplative order nestled in the heart of Paris. Founded on December 8, 1896, the Orantes de l’Assomption are not confined to the walls of a traditional monastery. Their mission extends outwards, embracing the world in their prayers. The order was established at 14 rue Berton, amidst the bustling energy of Paris, by Father François Picard and Isabelle de Clermont-Tonnerre. Driven by a shared passion for God’s Kingdom, they sought to create a space where prayer and service intertwine. The Orantes de l’Assomption live their devotion through a “triple presence”: being present before God, with their fellow sisters, and attentive to the needs of those around them. Their days are a harmonious blend of silent prayer, liturgical rituals, and adoration of the Eucharist. This rhythmic cycle, deeply rooted in Augustinian spirituality, allows them to carry a contemplative spirit into every aspect of their lives, whether they are engaged in work or tending to the needs of others. The Orantes de l’Assomption’s influence is not limited to Paris. Their commitment to prayer and service has spread across continents, with communities now flourishing in thirteen countries. From the heart of France to the wider world, they exemplify a life dedicated to prayer, fraternity, and unwavering service to humanity.
