Product Description

“This is not a work of polemics, and whether the nun who stands out from its pages deserves such censures is left for the reader to determine. The purpose of the book will be achieved if it contributes in some small measure towards a deeper understanding of a virginal life lived in and for God, and if it helps those who live that life to a fuller realization of the concealed wonders and choice treasures of the truths delivered by our Lord and the Saints, so that using the gifts so bountifully bestowed on them, they may ‘acknowledge the grace of the Giver and His rights of full ownership,’ and may ever sing the mercies of the Lord in the incomparable song of the Virgin of virgins : ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour . . . Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me; and holy is His name.‘”
