Blessed are They That Mourn

Author Mother Mary Loyola knew only too well the need for a strong faith in the times of intense suffering and loss during the first World War, and this she amply illustrates in Blessed are They That Mourn.

She had already cemented her reputation as one of the best Catholic writers of her generation by the early years of the twentieth century, but the First World War prompted her to write this book of consolation for the innumerable mothers, wives and others who had lost loved ones to its ravages. Her intimate knowledge of the subject matter gave her unique insight, for she had lost so many in the course of her long life, beginning with both of her parents and two siblings when she was just nine years old, and recently including several of her own beloved students who were fighting in the trenches of the Great War.
