The works of the late Sister Miriam Teresa of the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, Convent Station New Jersey, having been given for inspection to me as 'Censor Librorum' of the diocese of Newark, with a view to their publication, I wish to state that in addition to granting the nihil obstat it appears incumbent upon me to say a few words about these extraordinary conferences of a notice. These conferences were circulated and used in communities throughout the Unites States, in Ireland, England, and even Australia. They have made a profound impression upon everyone who has read or heard them. The reason is far to seek.
