History & Biography

Mothers Mary Elizabeth, Mary Lange, and Theresa; Henriette, Dorothy, Katharine, Father Gus, Julia, Black Elk, Sister Norma, Archbishop O’Boyle, Franz, Pierre… and many other quiet, silent and unknown heroes “transcended racism, injustice, and suffering by serving the oppressed.” Throughout these splendid pages, Matt Daniels proves to all peoples of all places and all times that God is right, and that the words of St John of the Cross are more relevant in today’s divided world than ever before:”Where there is no love, put love, and you will draw out love.”
