The Friendship of Florence Nightingale and Mary Clare Moore
Florence Nightingale is best known as a woman of action—a founder of modern nursing, a reformer in the field of public health, and a pioneer in the use of statistics. What is not generally appreciated is that Nightingale was deeply engaged in the religious and philosophical thought of her time and that the primary aim of her life was not to reform social institutions but to serve God. Although Nightingale gave primacy to her spiritual life, few of the books written about her have done so, and, until recently, few of her own writings about religion have been published. This failure to attend to Nightingale's spiritual life began to change during the 1980s, most significantly with the 1994 p...
Leisure
Fairacres Publications 166 First published when computers were in their infancy, and when there was a hope that people would be able to enjoy increasing leisure, this short essay is still pertinent to our thinking on the use of time both for work and play. Mother Mary Clare urges us to reflect on whether we regard work as toil and drudgery and leisure time as the real place of self-fulfilment and self-realisation. From there, she suggests ways of perceiving that, used as means to enter into the rest which God gives, they become complementary.
Mary Clare Likes to Share
Mary Clare loves to share. If there's food around, Mary Clare fairly divides it up and shares it with her friends and family, no matter how many there are! This rhythmic, rhyming reader clearly demonstrates the concept of fractions in a bouncy and sweet--and savory--way!
Encountering the Depths
Mother Mary Clare explores the art of spiritual living through a natural and open--though traditional--approach, unlocking the largely forgotten secrets of emptiness, listening, silence, surrender, joy and service.

Keeping the Faith at Harvard
Sr. Mary Clare Vincent became a Catholic under the influence of Fr. Leonard Feeney and stood by him during his period of excommunication from the Catholic Church. This is her story and the story of Saint Benedict Center, the Catholic student center at Harvard University.
Embroidering Her Truth
I felt that Mary was there, pulling at my sleeve, willing me to appreciate the artistry, wanting me to understand the dazzle of the material world that shaped her. At her execution Mary, Queen of Scots wore red. Widely known as the colour of strength and passion, it was in fact worn by Mary as the Catholic symbol of martyrdom. In sixteenth-century Europe women's voices were suppressed and silenced. Even for a queen like Mary, her prime duty was to bear sons. In an age when textiles expressed power, Mary exploited them to emphasise her female agency. From her lavishly embroidered gowns as the prospective wife of the French Dauphin to the fashion dolls she used to encourage a Marian style at the Scottish court and the subversive messages she embroidered in captivity for her supporters, Mary used textiles to advance her political agenda, affirm her royal lineage and tell her own story. In this eloquent cultural biography, Clare Hunter exquisitely blends history, politics and memoir to tell the story of a queen in her own voice.
