"Mother Maria is a saint of our day and for our day; a woman of
flesh and blood possessed by the love of God, who stood face to
face with the problems of this century."--Anthony (Bloom),
Metropolitan of Sourozh Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945) has
emerged as one of the most fascinating religious figures of the
twentieth century. As an Orthodox nun in Paris her home was at once
a soup kitchen for the needy, a center for the renewal of Orthodox
thought, and---under Nazi occupation---a haven for the rescue of
Jews. For the latter cause she ended her life in a concentration
camp. Like Dorothy Day, her writings reflect her deep commitment to
the gospel mandate that unites love of God and love of neighbor.
The introduction is by Jim Forest, secretary of the Orthodox Peace
Fellowship, and author of many books including Praying with Icons
and Confession: Doorway to Forgiveness
