[quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1314815073' post='2298167']The sister was a French woman called Marie Ambaud who entered Notting Hill in November 1883, becoming Sr Magdelen. While yes, it is easy to laugh about the sickly sweet young Carmelites longing to die young, this was different. For one, she was 23 entering, so a proper adult, but also it was more than your average case of parents not being happy. It actually resulted in civil and Church lawyers being involved as well as the Pope, 5 Cardinals, 2 Papal nuncios and dozens of bishops! Even once she had collapsed with what the doctor (who btw wasn't Catholic) immediately diagnosed as a form of meningitis, her parents wouldn't give up. They sent their own doctor too, leading the the community doctor telling him that if he even attempted to say she was fit to be moved, he would see him struck off! The parents demanded to be allowed to nurse her (of course not allowed) and her father said he would have her back 'dead or alive', and even the then Pope being tempted to avoid fuss rather than support this vocation - when the sister asked the Pope to protect her vocation he replied 'Oh that would have been true for Pious IX, he would turn the world upside down for one soul, but not Leo III, I am a diplomat'!!!!

As she lay getting more and more sick, she was interviewed by bishops and archbishops after each other, to see if she genuinely had a vocation. Finally, finally, Sr Magdalen was permitted to make her profession, the ceremony in her sickroom with the statue of the Infant of Prague (who is still in the monsatery) as her image of Christ during the simple service. She died just weeks later, unreconciled with her parents but absolutely sure of her calling.
