\"Benedict-Joseph<\/a><\/p>\n

Beno\u00eet-Joseph Labre est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Amettes (France), dioc\u00e8se d\u2019Arras, a\u00een\u00e9 d\u2019une famille de quinze enfants. L\u2019oncle de Labre, cur\u00e9 de paroisse, le re\u00e7ut avec joie et entreprit sa premi\u00e8re \u00e9ducation pour le sacerdoce. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de seize ans, Beno\u00eet-Joseph s\u2019adressa \u00e0 son oncle pour devenir moine trappiste, mais ses parents lui dirent qu\u2019il devrait attendre d\u2019\u00eatre plus \u00e2g\u00e9. Labre se rendit \u00e0 l\u2019abbaye de La Trappe pour y demander l\u2019admission dans l\u2019Ordre, mais ne remplit pas les conditions requises. Il \u00e9tait mineur\u00a0; il \u00e9tait trop d\u00e9licat\u00a0; il n\u2019avait pas de recommandations particuli\u00e8res. Il tenta plus tard de rejoindre les Chartreux et les Cisterciens, mais chaque ordre le rejeta comme inapte \u00e0 la vie communautaire. Il fut accept\u00e9 pendant environ six semaines comme postulant chez les Chartreux \u00e0 Neuville. En novembre 1769, il obtient son admission \u00e0 l\u2019abbaye cistercienne de Sept-Fonts. Apr\u00e8s un court s\u00e9jour \u00e0 Sept-Fonts, sa sant\u00e9 d\u00e9clina, et il fut d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que sa vocation \u00e9tait ailleurs.<\/p>\n

Labre ressentait un d\u00e9sir profond, qu\u2019il croyait inspir\u00e9 par Dieu et influenc\u00e9 par les exemples d\u2019Alexis de Rome et du p\u00e8lerin tertiaire franciscain, saint Roch. Ce d\u00e9sir le poussa \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0abandonner sa patrie, sa famille et tout le confort du monde pour vivre une vie nouvelle, une vie extr\u00eamement p\u00e9nitentielle et douloureuse. Au lieu de rechercher la solitude dans un d\u00e9sert ou un clo\u00eetre, il choisit de parcourir le monde en p\u00e8lerin, visitant les hauts lieux de la d\u00e9votion chr\u00e9tienne.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

En 1778, Labre entre dans le Tiers-Ordre de Saint-Fran\u00e7ois et s\u2019engage dans une vie de pauvret\u00e9 et de p\u00e8lerinage. Il se rendit d\u2019abord \u00e0 Rome \u00e0 pied, vivant de ce qu\u2019il pouvait obtenir en mendiant. Il a ensuite voyag\u00e9 dans la plupart des grands sanctuaires d\u2019Europe. Il a visit\u00e9 divers sanctuaires \u00e0 Lorette, Assise, Naples et Bari en Italie, Einsiedeln en Suisse, Paray-le-Monial en France et Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle en Espagne. Lors de ces voyages, il voyageait toujours \u00e0 pied, dormant \u00e0 la belle \u00e9toile ou dans un coin d\u2019une pi\u00e8ce, avec ses v\u00eatements boueux et en lambeaux. Il vivait du peu qu\u2019on lui donnait et partageait souvent le peu qu\u2019il recevait avec les autres. Il aurait parl\u00e9 rarement, pri\u00e9 souvent et accept\u00e9 en silence les abus qu\u2019il subissait.<\/p>\n

Ce faisant, Labre fut suivi dans le r\u00f4le du mendiant, du \u00ab\u00a0fou en Christ\u00a0\u00bb, que l\u2019on retrouve plus souvent dans l\u2019\u00c9glise d\u2019Orient. Il passait de nombreuses heures en adoration du Saint-Sacrement. Il s\u2019\u00e9vanouissait souvent en contemplant la couronne d\u2019\u00e9pines, en particulier, et pendant ces \u00e9tats, on dit qu\u2019il l\u00e9vitait ou se bilocalisait. On a \u00e9galement dit qu\u2019il avait pris soin de certains autres sans-abri qu\u2019il avait rencontr\u00e9s et qu\u2019il avait multipli\u00e9 le pain pour eux. Dans les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie (la trentaine), il v\u00e9cut \u00e0 Rome, vivant pendant un temps dans les ruines du Colis\u00e9e et ne le quittait que pour faire un p\u00e8lerinage annuel au sanctuaire de Notre-Dame de Lorette. Il \u00e9tait une figure famili\u00e8re de la ville et connu comme le \u00ab\u00a0saint des Quarante-Heures\u00a0\u00bb (ou Quarant\u2019 Ore) pour son d\u00e9vouement \u00e0 l\u2019adoration eucharistique.
\nIl meurt \u00e0 Rome le 16 avril 1783.<\/p>\n

Imm\u00e9diatement apr\u00e8s sa mort, le peuple le proclama saint. Les papes Pie IX le b\u00e9atifi\u00e8rent et L\u00e9on XIII le proclama saint de l\u2019\u00c9glise.<\/p>\n
