The Oratory of the Paraclete is a Benedictine monastery founded by Peter Abelard in Ferreux-Quincey, France (about five miles southeast of Nogent-sur-Seine, and some twenty-five miles northwest of Troyes) after he left the Abbey of St. Denis about 1121. Paraclete comes from the Greek word meaning "one who consoles" and is found in the Gospel of John (16:7) as a name for the Holy Spirit, the name of the third person of the Trinity.
