Christian Nurse and Her Mission in the Sick Room

In Christian Nurse and Her Mission in the Sick Room, François-Xavier Gautrelet, a notable French Jesuit priest, shares his profound insights and practical guidance for nurses and caregivers who tend to the sick and dying. His work, inspired by his founding of the Apostleship of Prayer in 1844, offers a rich blend of spirituality and actionable advice. The book is translated by John Mason Neale, a British Anglican renowned for his contributions to hymnody, including the beloved “O come, O come, Emmanuel.” Neales dedication to the nursing profession was exemplified through his co-founding of the Society of Saint Margaret, an order committed to caring for the ill within the Church of England. This volume is a treasure for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the sacred vocation of nursing. - Summary by Larry Wilson
