Marie-Antoinette de Geuser

Being in close contact with the Carmelites, her state of health and the events of World War I did not allow her to take her vows.

She left notes and correspondence that are remarkable testimonies of Carmelite spirituality, in the wake of Thérèse of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity.

In 1914, and again in 1915, she passed through serious health problems which forced her to return to her parents' home where she continued the life of recluse.

Father Raoul Plus, a Jesuit, published in 1921 under the name of “Consummata” a collection of texts and extracts of her diaries and correspondence.

Her texts were read and appreciated by Edith Stein who carried them with her when she had to flee from Germany because of the Nazis, on December 31, 1938.

Hans Urs von Balthasar cites her many times under the name of Consummata in the diaries which were published in their final form in 1989 under the title 'Das Weizenkorn".
