On March 24, 1656, the great French mathematician
Blaise Pascal's 10-year-old niece, Marguerite Périer, was healed of a painful incurable eye affliction by a Jansenist. The healing made a great impression on the public and all Catholic Paris acclaimed a miracle. Pascal regarded the event as confirming his belief in miracles, a belief that would later be incorporated his great apologetic work the
Pensées.
