The Life of M. Olier is a biographical book written by Edward Healy Thompson. The book traces the life of Jean-Jacques Olier, a French Catholic priest who lived in the 17th century.

The book begins with Olier's childhood and education, and then moves on to his early career as a priest. It covers his struggles with illness and his eventual decision to devote his life to the formation of future priests. Thompson provides a detailed account of Olier's work in founding the Society of Saint-Sulpice, including the challenges he faced and the successes he achieved. He also explores Olier's spiritual life and his devotion to the Catholic Church. The book includes a wealth of information about life in 17th century France, including the political and social climate of the time. It also provides insight into the role of the Catholic Church in French society during this period. Overall, The Life of M. Olier is a comprehensive and engaging biography of an important figure in Catholic history.
