I n M eimei`s Book
Meimei is not only a beloved missionary of the good and
the light in our realm of action, but she is also a devout children’s
guide who, in the spirit world, watches over the development of
young minds in the light of the Redemptive Gospel.
Employing sensitivity and intelligence in her beautiful
ideal of service, she has taken the Lord’s Prayer and has
turned it into an enchanting poem filled with commentaries
and stories, fables and thoughts, which will compel us to
think back on the unforgettable lessons of our Divine Master.
In the Lord’s Prayer, she has unearthed both a lesson to
be learned and a solution, a point of reference and a blessing
for all of life’s trying situations and problems, and she has
bequeathed it to all children in these pages, radiant fragments
of her heart in the form of words.
May God multiply all her efforts to sow the seeds of
goodness, and may her blessed spiritual motherliness grow
and send out rays of love to all children everywhere. These
are our wishes.
EMMANUEL
