Product Description

•••••

The life of Francis Libermann was marked by profound contradictions. Born into a Jewish family, he subsequently converted to Catholicism and earned recognition as the second founder of the Holy Ghost Fathers after becoming a revered Catholic missionary priest. In this compelling literary work, the life of this devoted apostle to the salvation of souls is recounted, demonstrating his unwavering zeal. The narrative depicts an awe-inspiring voyage of faith and missionary fervour, leaving readers with a profound appreciation for the enduring impact of his unwavering commitment to his calling.

However, the influence of his sacred life and saintly devotion extends far beyond the souls converted on the missionary fields and continues to have an effect on Catholics to this day.

Even though Venerable Francis Libermann passed away in 1852, his spiritual legacy endured, influencing a young diocesan priest named Marcel Lefebvre, who, over 80 years later, would become the seventh Superior General of the order Venerable Libermann established.

The Holy Ghost Fathers' motto is "Cor Unum et Animam Una," which is derived from Acts 4:32. It refers to the time after the apostles received the Holy Spirit in the upper room and describes them as having "One heart and one soul." This motto and this book exemplifies the spirituality of a holy progenitor who also played a significant role in the life of one of the most influential men of the post-Vatican II era, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.
