Benedict
Foundress of the Abbey of Regina
Laudis
Antoinette Bosco
The
heart of this book is the amazing story of Mother Benedict Duss, who was
born in America but went to France and became a medical doctor in Paris,
but left that profession to become a Benedictine contemplative. Through
the liberating efforts from Hitler’s Nazi regime by Patton’s army in
France, she felt an overwhelming interior call to return to America to
found the first community of contemplative Benedictine nuns. At the young
age of 35, with incredible faith, courage and the help of Popes,
politicians, famous writers, and many others, she persevered in her
call.
