The Author in her brilliant and attractive literary skill has etched the portrait of the Founder, Patrons, Pioneers and early Superiors, Superiors General, the First Capuchin Spiritual Director – Fr Pacificus, bishops associated with the Congregation, the three developmental stages of the Congregation and the growth in numbers of its members and houses, its geographical expansion, its activities and spirit behind them and the recruitment and formation of new members.  It also includes the Directory, which is much more than a simple list, useful for practical purposes, of places, undertakings and members of the Congregation.  It is a view of the Congregation by an outsider - lay woman, quite interesting to the reader that provides a vivid picture of Ursauline Franciscan Congregation is in the context of Church and society.  It is interesting to note the comment made by Most Rev. Agostino Cacciavillan, Apostolic Pronuncio who wrote the Preface to the book: “The Congregation is no longer just a “mustard seed” or a “little lamp”.  But the plant that has sprung up can and should grow further; the light can and should spread more, a light that is also the warmth of God’s love.”
