The Quiet Flame

LibriVox recording of The Quiet Flame, by Eva K. Betz. Read by Maria Therese. “You will never be a leper nor will any Sister of our Order.” The amazing promise was made by Mother Marianne of Molokai, the “Quiet Flame” of the this title who, as a Sister of St. Francis , spent 30 years on that island helping lepers during and after the time of Father Damien. Mother was speaking to a young nun, and she spoke the truth. Not one of the Sisters ever did contract the disease, a notable fact considering the tender care they fostered on the lepers. This story of this good nun, was written by the author of a number of Catholic biographies and fiction books for children.
