Sister Maria Philomena, MICM — Legacies of Sanctity — Lives That Changed the Course of History
Passionate about Church history, Sister Maria Philomena, M.I.C.M., director of the Saint Augustine Institute of Wisdom, here undertakes to paint for her audience, not just the lives of two pivotal Catholic women, but the far-reaching effects of those lives on the conversion of entire nations. Sister shows thereby the ramifications present inchoatively in each single person’s cooperation with grace. Like St. Wenceslaus’ grandmother, Ludmilla, and St. Clothilde, the mother of France, “the Faith came to us through person-to-person connections,” and we, too, must be ever so careful to profess and pass on this Faith in its entirety, lest we be the ones to break the sacred chain that has been building through so many centuries.
