In this episode, we sit down with Fr. John Sullivan, OCD, to hear the amazing story of the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne.

Carmelites know how 16 nuns of the Compiègne Carmel during the French Revolution sang hymns on their way to their deaths on the guillotine. The Song at the Scaffold by Gertrude von le Fort was a novella that caused interest in their martyrdom at a time when Edith Stein was still alive.
