INITIATE THE HEART by Sister M. Maura

INITIATE THE HEART

By

Pub Date: May 14th, 1945
Publisher: Macmillan

A small volume of intense and sincere religious verse, that Catholic readers will appreciate. More deeply felt than skilled, her verse has the power of expressing many moods and thoughts native to a devout member of a religious order. Sometimes her poems are a personal expression, sometimes they reflect her sensitive reaction to her trying experiences in several of the zones of war. She has used simple words and rhythms, and she shows a true if not highly trained lyric gift. Her deep devotion and nobility command the respect of her audience.
