Product Details
This book presents an outstanding collection of letters written about Mary MacKillop by people who knew her.
They show a rare glimpse of her personal side, her discipline and stamina, her humour and her fondness for her sisters. They also show a surprising glimpse into the life of the early sisterhood.
Mary MacKillop was so dearly loved by the sisters she served as these letters attest. At the time, she commanded total respect and obedience, not just because she was the founder of the Sisters of St Joseph, but because she led by example in everything she asked the sisters to be and do.
Her great love for God naturally flowed into humble service, and she was at home establishing new communities in cities as she was being Little Sister for just a few in a remote place.
Featured in this book are letters which were originally written as part of the Vatican's official canonisation process. They were lost for many years, stored away by a very careful archivist, only to be rediscovered in recent years.
You will marvel at the candid writings in these letters, and you will wonder if their authors really did know that they were mingling with a living saint. READ MORE >>
