Who they were
At Tours in France, Blessed Jeanne-Marie de Maillé, who, having lost her husband in war, reduced to poverty and driven from home by her family, abandoned by all, lived almost as a recluse in a small cell near the convent of the Friars Minor, begging for bread, but full of trust in the Lord.
The miracles
The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 28 March as a widow, driven from home and reduced to poverty, who lived almost as a recluse near the Friars Minor at Tours, full of trust in the Lord.
The cause
