Blessed Flora of Beaulieu

Memorial
5 October
Profile
Pious youth. Her parents tried to arrange a marriage for her, but Flora resisted, and eventually entered a nearby convent. In 1324 she entered the Priory of Beauliue of the Hospitaller nuns of Saint John of Jerusalem. She was ridiculed mercilessly by other sisters, and suffered bouts of depression. In recompense, God granted her gifts of levitation, stigmata, and prophesy.
