Excerpt from Memoirs of Sister Mary of Mercy Kéruel: Religious of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd, 1880 1910, Taken From the French Life Published at Angers, 1913The Lord, says Lacordaire, takes pleasure in gathering His ¿owers in the spring and His fruits in the autumn. Sister Mary of Mercy Kéruel was still but a spring ¿ower when she was culled by the Divine Master and borne by Him to the fair Garden of Paradise. All who knew her had formed high hopes for her future, so well suited did she seem to do fruitful work for God here on earth and so perfectly did she understand the beauty of her vocation and the means for carrying it out to the full. Nevertheless, she had hardly begun her religious life when, a few months after her Profes sion, she left all who loved her so dearly on earth, in order to be united to her Divine Spouse in Heaven. God's ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts. (cf. Is. Lv. But will not God yet make use of this valiant religious, in whose heart He had implanted such great zeal, to do good to other souls?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
