Who they were
Anne-Marie-Madeleine Thouret, in religion Sister Charlotte of the Resurrection, was born at Mouy on 16 September 1715 and made her profession as a Carmelite at Compiègne in 1740. She served the community as sacristan and was twice its sub-prioress.
She was guillotined in Paris on 17 July 1794 with the other Carmelites of Compiègne, who knelt and sang the Veni Creator and renewed their vows before they died. They were beatified on 27 May 1906.
The miracles
The Catholic Encyclopedia lists four cures proved in the beatification process of the Compiègne martyrs as a group, among them that of a Carmelite lay sister of New Orleans who was dying of cancer in June 1897.
Why that counted as sanctity
One of the Carmelite martyrs of Compiègne, guillotined in 1794.
