Cardijn's homage to Gabrielle Petit

Recently, I posted an item on Gabrielle Petit, the World War I Belgian spy shot by the Germans in 1916.
And I mentioned that Cardijn had preached a Te Deum in her honour at the St Michel and Gudule Cathedral in Brussels.
This week I found the actual text of Cardijn's homage to Gabrielle Petit in his archives.
I am afraid that I have not been able to translate it yet but here it is in French - a very moving tribute.
