Miraculous Vision and Martyrdom Tale of a French Sister
An account recalls a French sister near death who, urged by Father Girard and devout followers, declared she would die to see God. She fainted, bled, and appeared crucified in a ritual of faith, then described visions of a vessel in danger and angels delivering bills of lading, yet failed to produce the miracle, ending with discipline by the sister’s own explanation.
