Description
 
Born illegitimate, St. Louise (1591-1660) became a great apostle of charity. Together with St. Vincent de Paul she established permanent institutions to put haphazard works of charity onto a stable footing--hospitals, child care institutions, homes for the aged, care for those in prison and on the battlefield, psychiatric centers and home nursing care.

This book, based on original sources, presents a rich selection from the actual words of St. Louise de Marillac—many of which have been unavailable in English. It gives precious quotations from the Conferences of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise on prayer, fervent Holy Communion, the vocation of the Daughters, and the total, unreserved gift of self made by St. Lousie and her followers. In St. Lousie de Marillac—Servant of the Poor the reader will see a new and beautiful vison of Lousie the woman, the foundress, the oranizer, and the saint.
