GUILLOTINE of French Revolution; In August 1790 the Revolutionary Directors entered the Carmel to make the required inventory. They returned the next day with armed guards and proceeded to question each sister to see if any of them were being held against their will. Every one of them stated that she wished to remain a Carmelite and seven of them, including Sr. Teresa of St. Augustine said explicitly that they wished to live and die in their religious state.
It was also clear that they had monarchist sympathies and opposed the Revolution. They spent the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in prison and the next day they were taken to the Revolutionary Tribunal to be tried. of the 35 prisoners tried in the ‘Courtroom of Freedom’ that day 30 were condemned, including the sixteen Carmelites. On their last journey from the prison to the guillotine the nuns sang Vespers, Compline and the Office for the Dead. As they entered the Place du Trône and were confronted with the sight of the guillotine high on the scaffold Sr. Teresa began the Te Deum, which was followed by Veni Creator Spiritus. On July 17th 1794 these sixteen nuns died at the guillotine after having offered their lives for the Church and for France.
