Philippine's example of courage, love for others, and generous self-offering provide us with an image of holiness toward which we strive. The reflections contained here, written by members of the Sacred Heart family across the generations, interpret Philippine's life story for today's world. With Odeide Mouton, RSCJ, we pray to our sister Philippine, You who loved so strongly, so tenderly, will you quietly slip us your secret, so that we too become women of prayer who are aflame to give the substance of our life without compensation? --Juliet Mousseau, RSCJ, editor Philippine's physical and moral courage in the face of doubt and uncertainty is a model for our world today. . . . She spent herself to make Christ known and loved. She crossed frontiers both geographic and existential to embrace the mission God's grace implanted in her heart. She was single-minded and single-hearted despite bouts of self-doubt. . . . [T]he reflections assembled in these pages are not an exercise in nostalgia, but a bicentennial backward glance at a woman we have come to know and love. They are offered as Philippine's summons to each one of us in the family of the Sacred Heart to live a life of holiness, to zeal for the works of God, and to boldness and courage in the face of difficulties of every kind. --Kathleen Hughes, RSCJ, from the Introduction We are now reaping the fruit of Mother Duchesne's sanctity; the success of our apostolate is the fruit of her zeal. . . . If we should come to love the things she loved--poverty, humility, abnegation, and readiness to give everything in zeal--I think our road to sanctity would be a short one and our success in the Society would be perfect. --Gertrude Bodkin, RSCJ
