In Permission To Die, Writer, Director Mike Church – The Spirit of ’76, The Nativity of Mary – brings to life one of the least know tales of martyrdom in the Christian world. Starring the voice talent of Jess Mosher – The Nativity of Mary, The Road to Independence – Celeste Youngblood and Church as Narrator, Permission to Die is a bone-chilling reminder of what happens when a civilization tries to exterminate the practice of the Catholic Faith and the heroic martyrs God raises up to counteract this evil. Set in France during the most horrific days of the French Revolution, The Great Terror, Permission to Die tells the tragic story of the Sisters of the Carmel at Compiegne, France. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING An excerpt from William Bush’s “To Quell The Terror” book, the best scholarly work ever done on the story of the Carmelite Sisters of Compiegne. Officially forbidden to pronounce her vows by revolutionary decrees, the youngest member of the community, Sister Constance, did finally make her profession in extremis at the foot of the scaffold after six years as a novice in the community. It was her brother, not Blanche’s, who tried to persuade her to return home. Nor was Sister Constance the last to die, but the first. Thus, even if Blanche de la Force had existed, that unforgettable and electrifying climax of both play and opera where, upon hearing a voice taking up the martyr’s hymn, Constance joyously looks down from the scaffold to see Blanche emerge from the crowd, would have been impossible. The last one to climb the scaffold steps was in fact the prioress, Madame Lidoine herself who, presiding over the sacrifice to the very end, blessed each of her fifteen daughters as they fulfilled the community oblation she herself had proposed. What Madame Lidoine had proposed, however, was never a “vow of martyrdom” as one reads in the fictional versions, but rather an “act of consecration” whereby each member of the community would join with the others in offering herself daily to God, soul and body, in holocaust to restore peace to France and to her Church. This proposal, we now know, was made sometime between the expulsion from their monastery on September 14, 1792, and November 27 following, on which date we have confirmation that the consecration was already an established part of the community’s daily life. The community sacrifice was moreover presided over by Madame Lidoine, its one true mother and Compiègne’s great prioress, inspiring, animating, and transfiguring all by her mystical insights.
