As the Church begins its process toward Visitation Sister Francoise Therese’s (Leonie Martin) beatification, many aspects of her life and devotion begin to be known. In addition, the deep relationship of the Carmelite and Visitation Orders in this Martin family can be highlighted, and the Visitandine influence upon the Martin sisters seen.
A French website with an English translation, for example, has informative and interesting paragraphs on Leonie’s life and in particular displays a picture of the Crucifix she kissed as she lay dying, the very same crucifix her Visitandine Aunt, Sister Marie-Dosithee held in her hands during her journey into eternity.
