Marie-Antoinette de Geuser, French mystic (d. 1918)

Marie-Antoinette de Geuser (known as "Consummata"; 20 April 1889, in Le Havre – 22 June 1918, in Le Havre). 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.
