Excerpt from The Life of Margaret Mostyn (Mother Margaret of Jesus): Religious of the Reformed Order of Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel, 1625-1679

I should have been able to publish this volume sooner, but for several months of ill health, which will, I fear, also have the effect of delaying some other volumes already in preparation for the Quarterly Series. I had especially hoped to be able to finish the new volume of the Public life of our lord in time for the Midsummer issue, but I fear that that is now impossible.

Excerpt from The Life of Margaret Mostyn (Mother Margaret of Jesus): Religious of the Reformed Order of Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel, 1625-1679

The Life of Mother Margaret (Mostyn) of Jesus, which is contained in the following pages, is taken from a manuscript preserved at Darlington. The religious of the Carmelite convent in that town form the same community as that in which she lived. It was founded at Lierre, from Antwerp, in 1648, as is related below, she and her sister, Mother Ursula of All Saints, being two of the band of religious who migrated from Antwerp for that purpose. The sources from which this Life has been drawn up were all contemporaneous with its subject. After the death of Mother Margaret, the nuns who had lived with her so long were ordered by the Bishop to write down their recollections of her, and the papers thus produced form a great part of the substance of the following pages. The general narrative is due to the labours of Canon Bedingfield, the confessor of the convent and Margaret's intimate friend, who laid on her the task of setting down on paper the favours which she received in prayer, and who used them along with the other papers already mentioned in the com position of her Life. But his own death came too soon for the completion of the work which he had under taken.
