The text as given in FAMVIN on the Martyrs of Angers was not a letter but a homily preached at a Mass in a parish Chruch in Rome after the Beatification of the Martyrs of Anger. The Mother General of the time – Mother Lucie Roge – was present at the Mass. Hence the reference to her. Richard McCullen CM Thank you for the clarification. We will reflect this both in the post and in the Vincentian ENcyclopedia.2 Comments
