The Quiet Flame

Gelesen von Maria Therese

(4,75 Sterne; 14 Bewertungen)

“You will never be a leper nor will any Sister of our Order.”

The amazing promise was made by Mother Marianne of Molokai, the “Quiet Flame” of the this title who, as a Sister of St. Francis , spent 30 years on that island helping lepers during and after the time of Father Damien.

Mother was speaking to a young nun, and she spoke the truth. Not one of the Sisters ever did contract the disease, a notable fact considering the tender care they fostered on the lepers.

This story of this good nun, was written by the author of a number of Catholic biographies and fiction books for children. (Summary from original jacket and Maria Therese) (3 hr 10 min)

a reminder of our duty

(4 Sterne)

The story is well read. a biographical reminder of the sacrifice to duty of so many young women in the 19th century. They left comfortable homes to bring aid to the unfortunate and sick. They did their duty and then some. A motivational story for young women worldwide. A hidden history of Hansens disease in Hawaii in the late 1800s.
