About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Christian Nurse and Her Mission in the Sick Room by François-Xavier Gautrelet. (Translated by John Mason Neale.) Read in English by pattymarie; Lola Janie; Wanda Wilkey; laurencetrask; ChadH94; Mairi Patterson; Lucretia B. François-Xavier Gautrelet was a French Jesuit priest whose legacy survives as being the inspiration and originator of the Apostleship of Prayer in 1844. In this volume he gives an extensive spritual and practical guide to nurses and others who minister to the sick and dying. The translator, John Mason Neale, was a British Anglican who served as warden ot Sackville College, an almshouse at East Grinstead for many years. In 1854 he co-founded the Society of Saint Margaret, an order of women in the Church of England dedicated to nursing the sick. He is best known to the world, however, as the author and translator of many hymns including “O come, O come, Emmanuel.” - Summary by Larry Wilson
