Saint Julie Billiart was a woman of deep faith and joyful trust, whose life was marked by suffering, perseverance, and an unshakable confidence in God’s goodness. She was born in 1751 in Cuvilly, France, into a devout but poor family. From an early age, Julie showed a strong love for prayer and a desire to teach others the truths of the faith. By her teenage years, she was already instructing children and helping them to know and love God.
Her life took a dramatic turn when she became partially paralyzed after a traumatic event. For nearly twenty years, she was confined to her bed, enduring physical suffering with patience and offering it to God. During this time, she continued to teach and counsel others, becoming known for her wisdom and her constant encouragement: “How good is the good God.”
After the turmoil of the French Revolution, Julie experienced a miraculous recovery that allowed her to resume an active life. With renewed strength, she devoted herself entirely to the formation of young people, especially those who had been deprived of religious instruction during the years of upheaval. In 1804, she founded the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, a congregation dedicated to the education of girls and the spread of the faith.
Julie’s approach to education was rooted in love, simplicity, and trust in God. She believed that each child should be formed not only intellectually, but spiritually, guided toward a personal relationship with God. Despite opposition and challenges, she remained steadfast, always encouraging her sisters to rely on divine providence.
She died in 1816, leaving behind a growing community that continued her mission. Her legacy spread beyond France, reaching many parts of the world through the work of her sisters, especially following her beatification by Pope Pius X in 1906.
Devotion to Saint Julie Billiart is especially strong among educators and those dedicated to the formation of youth. She is honored as a patron of teachers and of those who suffer long illness, having borne her own trials with remarkable peace.
Her feast day is marked in communities of the Sisters of Notre Dame and in schools inspired by her spirit. Her simple words, “How good is the good God,” remain a reminder of her deep trust and joyful faith.
Saint Julie Billiart, faithful servant of God and teacher of souls, pray for us.

What is the SSPX Podcast?
The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.
What is the SSPX?
The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood.
Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls.
Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.
