The Simplicity of a Life - Sister Maria Sherry of the Oasis

THE SIMPLICITY OF A LIFE

The Life of Sister Maria Sherry of the Mother of God
(November 9, 1973 - July 29, 1998)

This website is about the English translation of the biography, La Sencillez de Una Vida, written by Father Pedro Muñoz, Founder of the Religious Congregation of Oasis de Jesús Sacerdote in Spain.

"It is the simple life of a religious who, at a very young age,
offered her life in the silence of the cloister, without calling attention to herself, for the sanctification of priests and consecrated souls,
and who completely devoted herself to God through the path of humility, silence, love, and the constant joy of dying day by day
to her own will. My wish is that upon finishing this book
you may say I too can and wish to be a saint." (Father Pedro Muñoz)

This inspiring little book makes excellent spiritual reading for the entire family. In it we find the moving example of a seemingly ordinary young girl, who strived for sanctity by heroically fulfilling her duty of state, day by day. Her simple life is full of little proofs of love for God, acts of charity towards her neighbor, a burning desire to suffer and make reparation, and an admirable resignation to the will of God.
