Synopsis

A woman of yesteryear, Louise de Marillac herself is not as well known to the Western world as the community she founded the Daughters of Charity. This study of her spirituality seeks to introduce her to the English-speaking world by illustrating the relevance of her spirituality for today's Christian and her contribution as a saint and model for today. As wife, mother, widow and foundress Louise de Marillac has a particular message of faith hope and love for women of today. This is the story of how her faith journey rooted in her historical and spiritual environment permeated and influenced every aspect of her life as expressed in her personal correspondence and especially in her spiritual writings.
