Excerpt from Life of Sister Mary St. Peter: Carmelite of Tours The life which we are now about to offer the public, will undoubtedly be acknowledged to be one of the most remarkable that has appeared in our century. A poor, simple seam stress chosen as the mediator between the anger of a justly offended God and the sins of a guilty, ungrateful people: - the heavenly ambassadress to one of the mighty courts of the world: - the recipient of the most astonishing revelations: - and all this in our days! Is it possible that visions, ecstasies and revelations are the lot of mortals of the nineteenth century? Do these not rather belong to the days of the prophets, of the apostles? Sit Nomen Domini benedictum! May the Name of the Lord be blessed! His arm is not shortened, nor his holy spirit mute in our day more than in times gone by.
