Columba Marmion O.S.B, born Joseph Aloysius Marmion (1 April 1858 – 30 January 1923) was a Benedictine Irish monk and the third Abbot of Maredsous Abbey in Belgium. Beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 3, 2000, Columba was one of the most popular[1] and influential[2] Catholic authors of the 20th century. His books are considered spiritual classics.[3]
^Toups, pp. 159-160, notes 2 & 3 (noting that Marmion's works have been translated into at least 11 languages, and that some 1.5 million copies of his books were in distribution as of 1951).
^Toups, p. 160, note 4 (discussing the "direct influence" of Marmion on several Popes of the 20th century and on the Fathers of the Vatican II). See also Philipon, p. 11: "His work initiated a profound spiritual revival the influence of which has permeated the whole Catholic world"; and Capelle, p. 20: "It is certain that his teaching, so necessary and so powerful, has left a permanent mark on the Christianity of our times".
