Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Marie-Catherine Putigny: Lay-Sister of the Visitation Convent at Metz The publication of such a life as recorded in the following pages, should not be a matter of indifference to Catholics, since it is a manifestation of God´s dealings with the human soul. When that life has been spent in obscurity and humility, the revelation of its heroic greatness takes the world by surprise. The carnal man is accustomed to conceive great things as necessarily surrounded and accompanied by pomp and display. The old Adam loves bustle, and flourishes in turmoil. Not so with holy souls. As of old, the spirit of God dwells not in storm and tempest, but in humble silence and gentle peace. This principle has the force of an axiom in spirituality, and the Life of Marie-Catherine Putigny is but another illustration of it. God´s ways are as manifold as His perfections. The whole life of the just man is only a shadow of some of those perfections. A saint´s mission is to personify some special perfection even unto heroism. Every saint has his own personal features, and diversity in unity characterizes their lives. Their souls reflect God, but each one differently. Their lives have been aptly compared to the images of saints on the painted windows of our cathedrals and churches.
