Having completed his legal studies he returned to his home city of Lyons where he commenced practice in the legal profession. Ozanam died at the young age of 40 leaving a widow, Amelie and a daughter Marie. He was anxious to do so much more with his life especially the completion of a series of books on the history of Christianity from the 5th to the 15th century, having written only two of the planned seven books. Ozanam gave his life totally to God. Therefore it is not surprising that when encouraged by his confessor on his death bed not to fear but to trust in God, Ozanam replied, "Why should I fear Him when I love Him so?" Frederic Ozanam was beatified by Pope John Paul 11 at a ceremony in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on August 22nd 1997. Blessed Frederic is buried in Paris. For More Information Contact:
