La Clochette La Clochette (The Little Bell) was a small spiritual magazine published monthly in French from 1901 to 1919 by a Catholic Church organization in Paris named "La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe" (The League of the Holy Mass). Father Esther Bouquerel (1855–1923) founded the organization and edited the magazine, which had approximately 8,000 subscribers. In December 1912, the magazine published the earliest known version of an anonymous prayer for peace, now widely but erroneously called the Prayer of Saint Francis.
François de Pâris François de Pâris (3 June 1690 – 1 May 1727) was a French Catholic deacon and theologian, a supporter of Jansenism. He became deacon of the Oratory of St. Magloire and was noted for his critique of the papal bull "Unigenitus", which condemned Pasquier Quesnel's annotated translation of the Bible. He gave his earnings to the poor, and in his retirement he lived in a state of extreme poverty. After his death, his place of burial gained a reputation for supernatural events and the basis of the Convulsionnaires of Saint-Médard where he is buried. In 1731 there was a movement by the Jansenists to canonize François de Pâris as a saint in acknowledgement of the miracles said to have been performed there and Cardinal Archbishop Louis Antoine de Noailles, who had investigated several of the reports in 1728, had begun the beatification process.
