The example of Father Lagrange, founder of Biblical School of Jerusalem
.
For the beatification of Brother Lagrange o.p.
On placing the first stone of the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem the 5th of June, 1891, Fr. Lagrange placed the foundation in the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes. He also wrote on this stone his prayer to Our Lady of the Rosary, the Patron of the Ecole Biblique. The Order of Friars Preachers and the diocese of Frejus-Toulon are officially opening the cause for the beatification of Fr. Lagrange. During this Rosary Pilgrimage of 2005, it seems right to ask the sick, their care-givers and the pilgrims to join in the process.
It is a well known fact that Dominicans rarely engage in the cult of personality. At the death of St. Dominic himself, the brothers did not invest their efforts in the canonization of their founder but rather in the preaching of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

A priest of the Dominican order, Lagrange began the journal Revue Biblique (International Biblical Review) in 1892 to promote "critical" study of the Bible in the Roman Catholic Church. Two years earlier he had opened the Ecole Pratique d'Etudes Bibliques (Practical College of Biblical Studies). In 1902 he was made a member of the Biblical Commission, founded by the pope, to guide the development of Roman Catholic study of Scripture.
His commentaries on Mark (1911), Luke (1920), Matthew (1923), and John (1925) were widely used up to World War II. His work on the New Testament presented a change of direction from Lagrange's earlier interest in the Old Testament. F M. Braun wrote a biography of Lagrange, which was published in English in 1963.
