Mere Marie Of The Ursulines: A Study In Adventure By Agnes Repplier

$27.00
Discover the extraordinary life of Mère Marie of the Ursulines, one of the remarkable Catholic women of early New France. Called to religious life from a young age, she received her first mystical experience at the age of seven. After a brief marriage cut short by the death of her husband, Marie was accepted into the Ursuline convent in Tours in 1631. After receiving further mystical experiences depicting her in a foreign land, she received permission to join the Jesuit mission in Quebec.

There she founded, in 1639, the first convent school in North America, where she lived for thirty-three years, moving heroically but always calmly through the turbulent and harsh environment that was New France. Agnes Repplier tells Mère Marie's remarkable story movingly, with accuracy, elegance, and incisive thought.

The binding is a bit loose but the pages are bright and clean. Very good considering its 95 years of age.

This is a wonderful addition to a Catholic home library, especially for those interested in Catholic women, religious life, the Ursulines, or the history of the Church in New France. Please review all photos, as I have tried to accurately represent this vintage book.
