Abstract
This paper analyses salient features of a religious congregation founded by Adélaïde Champion de Cicé and Pierre de Clorivière in 1791, during the Terror, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary. Firstly, I address the question of the particular charism of the congregation, attached to secrecy while drawing on the heritage of apostolic congregations, understood as a response to the "new dangers" brought by the French Revolution. Secondly, I show how the affirmation of their specific religious life goes beyond the period of the French Revolution.
