Ricart was known for being exuberant in her childhood but was noted to have grown more reserved following her First Communion due to the strengthening of her faith; she still maintained a kind and amiable disposition to those around her.
The girl made frequent visits to the Pie de la Cruz convent of the Servite Order in Valencia since it was there that her mother had a friend.
[1] It was also in that place that her call to the religious life grew to the point where both her mother and parish priest agreed to allow her to enter the convent on 11 July 1896 after she turned fifteen.
[3] Her colleagues held her in high regard for her jovial and compassionate spirit as well as for her strong leadership abilities while noting her dedication to passing down the proper values of contemplative life to new members.
Ricart left her room to see her sister and brother-in-law José attempting to prevent four militiamen from searching the house.
[4] Filomena had been seated while José was asleep when the four men knocked on the window three times asking to be allowed into the home.
[3] The beatification process for Ricart opened in the Valencia archdiocese under Marcelino Olaechea i Loizaga who inaugurated a diocesan investigation on 24 January 1958 before closing it just a few months later on 21 June.
Pope John Paul II issued final approval on 28 June 1999 in a move that confirmed Ricart would be beatified.
