The late Mother Mary Francis heard the call to enter a religious institute dedicated completely to contemplation. In 1942 she entered the Poor Clare Colette Colettine Monastery in Chicago, In 1948, she, along with several other nuns were chosen to form a Poor Clare Foundation at Roswell in Mexico. Mother Mary was elected Abbess of the Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Roswell in 1964, an office she exercised with the greatest distinction for over fourty-one years. The vitality of the monastery at Roswell, from which six foundations have been made, is a testimony to the totally sound and profoundly loving governance of Mother Mary Francis. A most gifted writer, Mother Mary Francis has left us several classic volumes, including this one, a definitive biography of St. Colette. This study of the life of Saint Colette of Corbie is remarkable for the depths of its research and of its insight into the providence of God at work for the reform of the Poor Clare discipline. Mother Mary Francis could rightly declare as St. Colette of Corbie had declared so many times, "I am onle the servant of Sir Francis and Madame Saint Clare."
