Motherhood is the perfect setting for Christian perfection — so Monsignor P. Legeune, writing in 1913, counsels overwhelmed mothers in this hidden treasure.In an encouraging, conversational style, Legeune directs Catholicmothers to stir from spiritual lukewarmness, habitual venial sin, and dissipation by using the tools he recommends for spiritual growth: the imitation of Mary, recollected prayer, spiritual reading, a rule of life, devout assistance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and a love for our Eucharistic Lord.
Frequently recalling wisdom from the writings of St. Francis de Sales, St. Alphonsus, and St. Bernard, Monsignor’s words are exceedingly practical and pointed, a sure antidote for the spiritual malaise of our times.
“If I can induce you to enter into the most intimate relations with Jesus in the Sacred Host, then the purpose of this book will be attained.”
