Additional Notes
Saint Thérèse Couderc (1805–1885), French founder of the Sisters of the Cenacle, endured misunderstanding and obscurity while promoting retreats and surrendering completely to God's will. In poetry, she symbolizes hidden sanctity and the apostolate of prayerful presence. Usage tip: use her "fiat" and apparent failure in verses on eclipsed leadership or interior oblation; related to other 19th-century French founders, she enriches devotional poetry on quiet endurance, vocational trust, and the sanctification of apparent insignificance.
