Born at Annecy-le-Vieux in 1914, he was ordained to the priesthood in the Cathedral of Annecy on 7 June 1941.  He exercised the sacred ministry in the diocese of Annecy from 1941 until 1952, and in the diocese of Bayonne from 1952-1990.  He died on the Vigil of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, 7 December 1990.<br \/>\nP&egrave;re Croset&#8217;s priestly life was marked by great suffering, by an extraordinary love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, and by a wonderful spiritual fruitfulness.  I was privileged to be numbered among the many souls touched by his priesthood.  At the end of his life P&egrave;re Croset lived in a residence for elderly priests in Pau, not far from Lourdes.  A number of years ago he drove me to Lourdes where, together in the February rain, we stood before the grotto and prayed  this <em><strong>Act of Abandonment to the Blessed Virgin<\/strong><\/em>.  P&egrave;re Croset composed it in 1952 in a moment of intense moral suffering and darkness.<br \/>\n<em>O Marie, ma Reine et ma M&egrave;re,<br \/>\nre&ccedil;ois en tes mains mon Acte d&#8217;Abandon<br \/>\n&agrave; la volont&eacute; du P&egrave;re de notre Seigneur J&eacute;sus-Christ,<br \/>\nafin qu&#8217;&agrave; l&#8217;exemple de son Fils bien aim&eacute;<br \/>\net par le secours de ta Tendresse,<br \/>\nje laisse conduire ma vie par l&#8217;Esprit-Saint<br \/>\nselon les mysterieux desseins de la Trinit&eacute;.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>O Mary, my Queen and my Mother,<br \/>\nreceive into your  hands<br \/>\nmy Act of Abandonment<br \/>\nto the will of the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,<br \/>\nso that, following the example of His beloved Son<br \/>\nand with the help of your tenderness,<br \/>\nI may let my life be directed by the Holy Spirit<br \/>\naccording to the mysterious designs of the Trinity.<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Aide-moi &agrave; livrer sans r&eacute;serve tout mon &ecirc;tre &agrave; Dieu<br \/>\ndans la clart&eacute; obscure de la foi,<br \/>\nl&#8217;&eacute;lan aust&egrave;re de l&#8217;Esp&eacute;rance<br \/>\net l&#8217;&eacute;treinte crucifiante de l&#8217;Amour.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Help me to surrender without reserve<br \/>\nmy whole being to God<br \/>\nin the dark brightness of Faith,<br \/>\nthe austere &eacute;lan of Hope,<br \/>\nand the crucifying embrace of Love.<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Je veux m&#8217;enfoncer en ton Coeur Immacul&eacute;<br \/>\npour y devenir l&#8217;hostie que tu donneras &agrave; J&eacute;sus,<br \/>\nafin qu&#8217;en son sacrifice<br \/>\nIl me consacre &agrave; la gloire de son P&egrave;re<br \/>\net &agrave; la f&eacute;condit&eacute; de l&#8217;Eglise son &Eacute;pouse.<br \/>\nAmen.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>I want to hide myself within your Immaculate Heart<br \/>\nto become there the host<br \/>\nthat you will give to Jesus,<br \/>\nso that He may consecrate me in His sacrifice<br \/>\nto the glory of His Father<br \/>\nand to the fecundity of His Bride the Church.<br \/>\nAmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the anniversary of the death of Monsieur le Chanoine Louis Fran&ccedil;ois CROSET.
