UNLEASHING HOPE The biography of Venerable Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament By SISTER TIMOTHY MARIE KENNEDY O.C.D.

Description

UNLEASHING HOPE draws you into the powerful life of Luisa de la Pena Navarro (1886-1937), “Mother Luisa,”, a petite woman from a small town in Jalisco, Mexico, who devoted her entire life to serving the poor, the sick and especially the children. She established schools, hospitals, and orphanages at a time when it was against the law to even be a Catholic. Gripping historical events including revolutions, religious persecution, and the Cristiada reveal her as a spiritual mother who brought healing and hope. After her husband’s death, Mother Luisita answered God’s call to establish a new Carmelite community that would “stand in the presence of the Living God and with Mary make known the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus” to a world suffering the wounds of sin and division. This book comes at a time in history when the world must reset its moral compass and rediscover the beauty and dignity of each person and the joy and healing that comes through living in God’s abiding presence. You will not easily forget Mother Luisita and her compelling life story. Paper.
