Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Mother Mary of Saint Maurice: Second Superior-General of the Society of Marie Réparatrice Reverend Mother, You have been good enough to submit to me the proofs of the Life of the Reverend Mother Mary of St Maurice, Second Superior-General of the Society of Marie Reparatrice. I have perused them with great interest and have been deeply touched and edified as I read the letters in which Blanche Goulet relates to one of her friends the tale of her vocation, little dreaming that, one day, these intimate outpourings of her heart would be made public. I felt pride when I reflected that this flower had blossomed in the garden of the Church at Rheims. I marvelled at the ways in which God leads His chosen ones. When the Son of God, the Incarnate Word, came to earth, He might have done so in riches, joys, power and honour; instead, He chose poverty, obedience and suffering. To the world this seems foolishness. But there were souls who recognised in this foolishness the Wisdom from on High, and from that time until our own day the world has beheld with amazement, with admiration and sometimes with envy, those who renounce all advantages of position and fortune voluntarily to embrace poverty, obedience and mortification.
