In 1882 you wrote: “I accept my grievous infirmity and all that it should please the Lord to send me. O my God, let me bend myself to your adorable will, to the example of my Lord Jesus. O my good Mother, keep my mind fixed on Nazareth, or before the tabernacle, or at Bethlehem, or on Calvary.”

After the account of your death on 7 February 1892 at the infirmary at Saint-Genis, your biography, concludes with the following: “After having been one of that group of brothers who had known our pious Founder here below, Brother Avit went, we are quietly confident, to join those who form his crown in heaven.”
With you, Brother Avit, we thank the Lord and our Good Mother for your life as a Little Brother of Mary. Thank you, above all, for his immense work on the Annals which continue to be of great value to us today. Amen.
