Softly Shines This Love

Sr Marie Leonie Williams' new book of poems is a celebration of almost seventy years as a professed Sister of Mercy in Australia. The poems include memories, thanksgivings, family, colleagues, friendships, places, journeys and personalities that have formed her life and brought about the joy and enthusiasm that is so evident in her writing. Above all, these are poems that reflect a life of faith and service within her religious congregation and the wider Catholic church and tradition that is so central to her life and ministry.
