Ground of Her Loving

· Mackillop s Canonisation by the Pope is imminent . Australia s first saint . Founder of the order Sisters of St. Joseph Many books have been written about MacKillop s remarkable life. In The Ground of Her Loving Margaret Paton delves more deeply into what inspired this great Australian, and her devotion to children and to the poor. She describes the articulate intelligence which enabled her to stand her ground against bishops, and her generosity of spirit which led her to forgive everyone who had wronged her. It is moving to read the loving advice she gave to the sisters, to recognise her lack of self importance, and her openness to whatever was to be. Paton draws out links with the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola, Simone Weil and Evelyn Underhill, who wrote, as Mary MacKillop did, about the adorable will of God. She also draws interesting comparisons between MacKillop and Sr. Helen Prejean, with whom Mary MacKillop courageously shared a willingness to be with prisoners facing the death penalty.
