– Blessed Columba Marmion, the saintly Irish Abbot who became friends with the Poor Clares of Cork, wrote to them: “Easter has been a time of grace and light. I was able to celebrate the great Pontifical Offices and Masses of Holy Week; and ever since the glorious Risen Christ has been coming to see me, and speak of His Kingdom.”
Abbot Marmion was one of the pioneers of liturgical piety in the early 1900’s, and his writings have nourished generations of priests, monks, nuns, and Catholic lay people.
