Reviewers' Comments on Two Other Books which comprise the Saga on Veronica's Veil:
"The book, 'The Whole World Will Love Me' . . . is the last word in biography." - Bishop Daniel Gercke
"Doris Sheridan has written what for me is the finest life of St. Therese in our language. What impressed me most is the real relationship between Sister Mary of St. Peter and St. Therese of Lisieux in their Devotion to the Holy Face. All is most illuminating, historically accurate and movingly portrayed. The editor and writer have done a most worthwhile thing for God, for souls and for our times." - Priest-reviewer for the national press
"Miss Sheridan deserves the gratitude off all the Carmelites in the English speaking countries for the stress she laid upon St. Therese's Devotion to the Holy Face. It makes it a diamond of priceless value." - Prioress of Discalced Carmelite Nuns
Best Sellers on Life of Leo Dupont said:
"No priest, no religious, no devout layman can take up this book and not feel better spiritually for having perused it. There is a message distinct for our times."
Our Sunday Visitor announced the Biography of Leo Dupont with a front-page banner headline, stating:
"The book's lesson should be learned by the statesmen of the world . . . We are told that the UN is losing the fight. It is losing only because it is trying to fight evil with money, by matching our enemy's war machine . . . All this may be necessary for the actual encounter, but it will never overcome the evil . . . The Church won her battles in the past because her weapons were spiritual . . ."
Apology to God
The spiritual weapon of Apologizing to God is the first need man has today if there is to be hope for the future. Therefore the cloistered nun, Sister Mary of St. Peter, who brought our century face to face with this urgent worship of offering Apology to God for rampant atheism before the Image on 'Veronica's Veil' deserves the first place of recognition, - for as Pope Paul recently declared: - "We should thank those who through 'Veronica's Veil' bring us closer to the Invisible Divinity."
Will the Carmelite Monasteries of the US and Europe, and other individuals, unite to show this appreciation for the cloistered Sister by requesting her Beatification? - Editor
