The Venerable Anne de Guigné (April 25, 1911 - January 14, 1922) was a young French girl who is being considered for sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. ==Life and death== Anne was the oldest of four siblings. Her parents were wealthy. Anne's father was Count Jacques de Guigné, second lieutenant in the 13th Battalion, Chambéry of Chasseurs Alpins. Anne's mother was born Antoinette de Charette on September 19, 1886, the great-niece of François de Charette, the well-known General who led the soldiers of France in the Battle of Patay. Anne's maternal grandmother Francoise Eulalie Marie Madeleine de Bourbon-Busset was a direct descendant of the sixth son of King Louis IX of France, Robert, Count of Clermont.〔 〕 On July 29, 1915, when Anne was four years old, her father was killed in action in World War I. Before her father's death, everyone knew her to be a spoiled and capricious child who was jealous of her little brother Jacques (''Jojo'') and younger sisters Madeleine (''Leleine'') and Marie-Antoinette (''Marinette'') and deeply proud. From the day of her father's death, Anne decided to become kind and obedient in order to please and console her mother. The change was immediate. She was only four years and three months old at the time, but between her and Jesus arose, through an extraordinary gift of grace, an intense conversation of love. There was born inside her the desire to prove to Jesus how much love she had for him, offering Him many sacrifices, including the pain and suffering she had to endure when she became gravely ill with meningitis〔 on December 19, 1921.〔(1911-1922 Venerable Anne of Guigne - Catholic Tradition biography )〕 Anne died peacefully at 5:25 a.m. on January 14, 1922.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne de Guigné」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
