Angela Merici's
Journey of the Heart
Angela Merici's Journey of the Heart
The Rule, the Way
Mary-Cabrini Durkin
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
profound implications for the 21st 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."

students of church history, women's movements, and Renaissance
history, as well as Christians seeking subjects for reflections."
