Théodelinde Bourcin-Dubouché was a 19th-century French artist and nun who founded the Congregation of the Restorative Adoration in Paris. Born in Montauban in 1809, she initially pursued a career as a painter, specializing in religious subjects. Following a series of mystical visions between 1846 and 1848, she dedicated her life to spiritual reparation. She established her religious community in 1848, taking the name Marie-Thérèse of the Heart of Jesus. After suffering severe burns while protecting the Blessed Sacrament during a convent fire, she died in Paris in 1863.
