Chapter 2Visible text2 paragraphs
THIS convent, which in 1824 had existed for long years in the Petite Rue Picpus, was a community of Bernardines of the Obedience of Martin Verga.
These Bernardines, consequently, were attached, not to Clairvaux, like other Bernardines, but to Qteaux, like the Benedictines. In other words, they were subjects, not of Saint Bernard, but of Saint Benedict.
