## Life

Sixteen Carmelites who offered their lives daily for peace in France’s Terror, were arrested for keeping their common life, and went to the guillotine singing the Veni Creator, each renewing her vows at the scaffold before the youngest climbed first. The Terror collapsed ten days later; they were canonized in 2024.
