Editor reviews

In this authorized biography of St. Mary of the Cross, Lesley O’Brien weaves a compelling and revelatory tapestry of the first recognized Catholic saint of Australia, who wasn’t without flaws but was passionately resolute in her egalitarian, self-sacrificial convictions and unafraid to stand up to the perceived hypocrisy of Catholic establishment of the time.

From her humble roots as a teenager working as a store clerk in Melbourne to her controversial excommunication from the Church, Jenny Seedsman’s vibrant performance enlivens this refreshingly humanistic and candid portrait of Australia’s only recognized Catholic saint.

Summary

Aiming to make this compelling story of church politics and Christian service available to all, Lesley O'Brien presents a moving account of the life and times of Mary MacKillop, Australia's first saint. The only biography of Mary to be authorised by the Sisters of St. Joseph, this edition has been updated to include her beatification by Pope John Paul II.

Profile Image for Stephen Callaghan

A truly inspiring life

A must-read for every Catholic today. A life of perseverance in the faith despite the erring humanity of individuals within the Church. Written before her canonisation, this book gives a wonderful, balanced account of her life with all its ups and downs. It demonstrates that to be a Catholic trying to live the Gospel does not mean that one will escape suffering, misunderstandings, jealousy, discouragement and slander. In fact, it illustrates that these are the path to Sainthood.
