Early Years (1858–1886)
Columba was born in Dublin, Ireland, on April 1, 1858, into a large and religious family; three of his sisters became nuns. William Marmion's father, William Marmion, was from Clane, Co Kildare. Herminie Cordier, a French migrant, was prompted by his biographer Dom Raymond Thibaut to remark: "He owes his Celtic origins, his vibrant imagination, his sensitivity, his exuberance, and his youthful spirit." The French blood flowing in his veins contributes to his clarity of thought, his habit of crystal clear vision, his ease of exposition, and his uprightness of character. He derives his unbridlement and his generous of heart with all the energy, dedication, and fine feeling that this noble quality implys." He was baptized with the name "Joseph Aloysius." He seemed to have "consumed with some kind of inner fire or passion for the things of God" from an early age. He was educated at Dublin's Jesuit Belvedere College.
At the age of 16, he entered the seminary. His "faith" in the seminary was "more than simple theoretical theses"; in particular, "that a man's love for God is measured by his love for his neighbor."
"A "very significant moment in Dom Marmion's inner life" occurred when he was still in seminary.
He completed his studies at the Pontifical Irish College in Rome and was ordained in 1881.
He passed through Maredsous, Belgium, a young and lively monastery that was founded 9 years earlier by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Beuron, Germany, on his return to Ireland. He wished to join the neighborhood here so much. But his archbishop in Ireland declined his offer to do so and appointed him curate at Dundrum, a parish in Dublin's south. He was named Professor of Metaphysics at Holy Cross College in Clonliffe, the diocesan seminary for Dublin, where Marmion himself had studied. He began working on the education and spiritual direction of others, including his appointment as chaplain to a nearby convent.
"Marmion's work as a parish priest brought him right into contact with a cross-section of humanity," and he was "called upon to advise, teach, console, and give every form of spiritual and material assistance." "He had an extraordinary facility for adapting himself to others," and above all, "in comforting others and bringing them at their ease." He began to learn "the delicate art of spiritual direction in which he would later excel."
"His four years as professor at Clonliffe (1882–1886) "aided him in finishing his intellectual and spiritual formation." He was soon immersed in college life, and he soon found himself in his "native element."
