About Yvonne-Aimée de Jésus

Lived 1901 – 1951 (aged 49). Yvonne-Aimée de Jésus was a French nun and roman Catholic.

Yvonne Beauvais (; July 16, 1901 – February 3, 1951) was a French Augustinian nun. She took the name Mother Yvonne-Aimée of Jesus. She was awarded the French Legion of Honour by General Charles de Gaulle.

In 1946, she established the Federation of the Augustinian monasteries and became its first Superior General.

In early 1951, she was planning to visit nuns of the order in Natal, South Africa. However, she died in February before her departure at the age of 49 from a cerebral hemorrhage in Malestroit.

At first, the short invocation spread by word of mouth. In 1932 the Bishop of Vannes, France, approved the invocation for his diocese. Pope John XXIII extended it to the universal Church.
