Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Heroine of Charity A Queen by Right Divine The most disastrous epochs of the world have often been productive of its grandest characters, and the very excess of crime and suffering in a generation, appealing to these valiant souls, has stimulated them to efforts and sacrifices sometimes heroic and fertile enough to change, as by miracle, the whole face of the age. Never, perhaps, was this truth more forcibly manifested than in France during the early part of the seventeenth century, when the country, a prey alternately, sometimes simultaneously - as during the rebellion of the Fronde - to war, foreign and civil, famine and the plague, was continuously drained of its vital resources, and when even the spiritual life of the people was starved by the decay of ecclesiastical discipline, and their faith jeopardised by the irregular lives of the clergy. It was a time for both the Church and the faithful to send up incessantly that cry of a grand soul of our own day, "Send us a saint, O God! send us a saint!"
