Christopher J. Lane tackles the subject of vocation among French seventeenth-century Visitandine nuns in his article ‘Gentle Holiness in the Vocational Culture of Seventeenth-Century French Visitandine Nuns’. He does this by examining the nuns’ hagiographic death notices, which offer abundant biographical information. Lane finds that these necrologies reveal that different spiritual currents were present in Visitation convents: young women took the veil for ample reasons, despite the rigorist approaches to vocational discernment advocated by several authors.
