industrious woman, entrepreneurial, charitable to the poor and unhappy. It was called "the welfare of the poor" and "the angel of prisoners."
Émilie Gamelin belongs to this class of builders that must not be forgotten. For this reason, are erected in many places, monuments that represent it.
His charity knew no bounds, no one was excluded of his affection. Early on, he had been accustomed to make room for the poor, he had learned about the "king's table," the family table where a table was left free for the poor who knocked at the door, the king in which Jesus identifies himself. For her, nobody should be put in second place, nobody should be excluded.
Emily also knew that there was Providence ; with it, everything could be faced, she went to pray at his parish church and sometimes he hit the railing in order to attract the attention of Providence and let him know that his poor had nothing.
What woman Emily, a brave woman, attentive and strong that even today, bears testimony to all ages, all conditions, a great testimony compassion towards all underprivileged and inviting us to bear much fruit!
JC Turcotte, Cardinal
great friend Emily
