A Worldwide Educational Vision
Madeleine Sophie Barat, a child of pre-revolutionary France, became the founder of a congregation of Catholic sisters who developed a tradition of education that continues today worldwide. She and her sisters saw in the solid education of women a means of restoring French society devastated by the Revolution, and she saw dedication to the love of God symbolized by the heart of Christ as the basis of that education. She led the Society of the Sacred Heart for 63 years; during that time in spite of revolutions, expulsions, political troubles of all kinds, she saw it spread to four continents. Today her educational vision continues to inspire her sisters and their partners in mission around the world to discover and reveal the love of God in Christ through their commitment to the education of young people in all its forms. With over a dozen images, this book will acquaint you with Madeleine Sophie Barat's life story and inspiring legacy.Ôªø
