Description
"GOD made use of the talents of a woman to render an immensely valuable service to Catholicism in spreading the faith and increasing works of charity." This tribute was paid to Mother Mary of the Passion, the foundress of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, by the prelate who, under the Cardinal-Prefect of Propaganda, directs the missionary apostolate.
"For women as well as for men," wrote Mgr. de Guรฉbriant, "there was need of an exclusively missionary institute in which the missionary vocation would be the first concern, and whose sole object would be the conversion of pagans by works of charity of every kind adapted to the conditions and needs of different countries." The distinguished Superior General of the Paris Foreign Missionary Society points to Mother Mary of the Passion as the one who conceived the idea of such an Institute and brought it into being.
