Excerpt from In Memoriam: Sister Sainte Claire, Order of St. UrsulaThe first novice received into the community was sister mary sainte claire, Sister Mary St. Martha, being the second. It was on New Year's Eve, 1820, that Sister Sainte Claire assumed those vows by which she renounced the world. The cere mony of reception was private, the Bishop presiding, and only a few pupils being present, in addition to the members of the community.And it should be noticed here, that Sister Sainte Claire entered upon the. Conventual life at a mature age, after the expiration of the period during which a mere romanticism often seizes upon the soul, and before reaching the point at which some natures are liable to be overtaken by apathy and despair. Sister Sainte Claire carried with her to the cloister a heart fully alive to the beauties and joys as well as to the sorrows of the world. Not deeming the convent the charnel house of blasted hopes and disappointed affec tions, but rather the congenial abode of simple faith and ardent love, the resort of those who consecrate themselves to that which, in their case, they deem the superior vocation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
