“Angélique Le Sourd was often able, during her charitable errands through the villages, to note the moral devastation which had accumulated during the Revolution.

“From the time of her youth, this saintly girl (Angélique Le Sourd) had the desire to consecrate herself to God in religious life.(…)” (Guyot, pp. 22-23)
