Book Overview
This Vision Book for 9 - 16 year olds tells the story of Catherine Labour , a Burgundy farm girl who, after a prophetic dream of St. Vincent de Paul, became a Sister of Charity in Paris and later in Enghien, where she cooked and mended and cared for the inmates of a home for elderly men. To this obscure Sister the Blessed Virgin appeared, made prophecies, and commissioned the making of the Medal which soon came to be known as "miraculous" because of the favors wrought. St. Catherine Labour lived a life of prayer and service to the poor, and was canonized in 1947. Illustrated
