The Rule, the Way ...explores an exciting discovery: a sixteenth-century manuscript dictated by Angela Merici (1474-1540). She created for women an alternative way of life that has endured to this day. Mary-Cabrini Durkin places the Rule in the context of women's history and reveals its profound implications for the twenty-first century. "Mary -Cabrini Durkin has entered into a dialog with the text of Angela Merici's Rule ... exploring the depths of spirituality and the core elements of Gospel living. Angela Merici's Journey of the Heart has led me to a new encounter with Angela, with a broader, refined vision, a new thrust, a creative approach. This rich, comprehensive interpretation is an invitation to go deeper into the waters of life, into a river of grace flowing from God's Spirit into the spirit of Angela and on into the hearts of her daughters, her friends and the people of God in our times." - Anne Curry, OSU "A jewel...This book by Mary-Cabrini Durkin appears to me most remarkable for the author's scholarship, for her deep knowledge of the sixteenth century as well as of contemporary society, and especially for her original and clear commentary." - Jacqueline Morin Company of St. Ursula in Canada "...sympathetic and perceptive reading...This study will interest students of church history, women's movements, and Renaissance history, as well as Christians seeking subjects for reflections." - Heather Arden, Ph.D
