Pope Francis yesterday approved the Equipollent Canonisation of the Sixteen Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne, who can now be honoured as Saints.
On the day following Her Feast, The Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel would receive her dear French daughters, Martyred for their Faith in Her Son and for their loyalty to His Church.
The revulsion caused in the general populace, by their
calm acceptance of the guillotine, was so great that their Martyrdom finally put an end to The Reign Of Terror.
Ten days after their death, it was the turn of the
demonic Robespierre, and the end of the bloodiest
days of the Satanic Revolution.
O, Glorious Martyrs of Compiègne, Pray for us !
The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.
The Martyrs of Compiègne were sixteen members
of The Carmel of Compiègne, France:
Eleven Discalced Carmelite Nuns;
Three Lay Sisters;
Two Externs (or Tertiaries).
They were executed by the guillotine towards the end of
The Reign of Terror, at what is now the Place de la Nation, Paris, 17 July 1794, and are Venerated as
Ten days after their execution, Maximilien Robespierre
himself was executed, ending The Reign of Terror.
Their story has inspired a novella, a motion picture, a television movie, and an opera, “Dialogues Des Carmelites”, written by French composer Francis Poulenc.[1]
