Description
Excerpt from Life of Mother Magdalene Daemen, O. S. F: Foundress of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Penance and Christian Charity
There is something charmingly attractive in the life of Mother Magdalene. She chose rather to obey than be obeyed, and she exercised the noblest virtue unoh trusively. With her, there was no nobility of birth or position, no bright, scholarly intellect nor acquire ments to sway others to the will of a superior organizer, no combination of worldly riches to ward off misery and privation from the incipient organization, but the humble, illiterate virgin, striving for the advancement of her Master''s glory, attracted others to His service by her example, and the candid, humble soul, pursuing the life of a true disciple of St. Francis, inundated by confidence in Divine Providence, has achieved victories.
