1774 - 1837
Beatified By: Pope John Paul II

On a January day in 1794, the nineteen-year-old Claudine Thevenet, of Lyons, France, was horrified to discover her two brothers in a line of prisoners being taken to execution by agents of the despotic anti-Catholic Jacobin regime of the French Revolution. She followed them to the execution site, where the two young men, before dying, shouted to her, �Forgive, as we also forgive.� In accord with her brothers� instruction, Claudine crossed her hands over her heart and prayed, �My God, forgive these murderers. They do not know what they are doing.� She was so traumatized by the sight of her brothers� execution that, for the rest of her life, she suffered from shortness of breath and spasms of head tremors. Claudine�s grief inspired her to devote herself to the care of the needy and the spiritual and moral formation of girls through the foundation of a new women�s religious institute, the Congregation of Jesus and Mary. As mother superior, she took the name, Mary of Saint Ignatius. Recognizing the need for wholesome literature, she also founded a residence for Catholic women authors.
