Opis

Fluent in Faith: the Gift of Mary McCormick shares the story of a remarkable, contemporary woman who, in 1968, with the blessing of the Milwaukee Archdiocesan Latin American Office, a then 56-year old widow, took her three youngest daughters, ages 11, 14 and 17, and moved to Latin America for a year. She remained serving in Bogota until 1994. Marys life compels us to share it. It is no ordinary life. Yet Mary was an ordinary person who looked very common and lived simply. She embraced life with delightful Irish wit and an incredible trust in God. Mary never completely mastered the Spanish language during 26 years in Colombia, yet from the first day she was fluent in faith.
