Merciful Love in the Visitation Order&Year of Mercy

Pope Francis has announced a Holy Year of Mercy to begin in December 2015. We shared this information and also some perspectives on St. Francis de Sales’ understanding of mercy in a previous post. http://visitationspirit.org/2015/03/pope-francis-announces-holy-year-of-mercy/

Less well known, but important, is the mission Our Lord entrusted to a 20th century Visitandine, Sister Marie Therese Desandais, concerning His Merciful Love. We posted the story of her life a few years ago.http://visitationspirit.org/2013/01/january-mystic-of-the-month/

We are pleased to share that some of her works are now available on line and even in the public domain. Written in French, these works will be highlighted in English throughout the Holy Year of Mercy, as we examine what Our Lord specifically asked of Visitandines to make known about His mercy.

If you read French, you can locate the works here:
