Author Description

Excerpt from The Life of Anne Catharine Emmer It need hardly be added that nothing in the present volume relating to the more marvellous side Of the life and actions Of Anne Catharine is put forward as resting upon more than Simply human authority. I have under stood that great veneration for her exists in Germany, and it could hardly be otherwise in the neighbourhood where many must still be living who have seen and conversed with her, and felt the blessing Of heaven fall on them in answer to her prayers. The records, also, of her contem plations must have made her name well known over the whole Catholic world, and few can have read them de voutly without finding themselves drawn more near to our Blessed Lord in consequence. But I have heard of no measures taken to ensure her enrolment among the saints of the Church, and we are thus destitute even Of the guidance and security which an ecclesiastical process might have given us as to her virtues, or as to the graces bestowed on her or on others by her means.
