They had 4 children, but after a decade Emilie 's husband died of malaria. During his long illness, Emilie, who loved Saint Ignatius , received guidance from the Jesuit Fathers. Emilie's 2 sons eventually attended the Jesuit College in Paris 
& she moved to Paris to be near them.

One day-the same day Blessed Pius IX declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception - Emilie was at prayer
It is said she received a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary . Taking it as a call to religious life, she soon began a small community in her home 
Within a short time she established the Sisters of Mary Reparatrix , making her vows in 1858 A.D. & taking the name Marie of Jesus . Later her 2 daughters joined the community

With a courage born of love 
Mother Marie responded rapidly to requests for help from the Jesuit missionaries. Her community soon had houses in 8 countries. She died in 1878 A.D. & is buried in Rome 
Loving Father, through the intercession of Blessed Marie , help all parents teach their children to make reparation to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary
