A Pathway Under the Gaze of Mary: Biography of Sister Maria Lucia of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart is a 2015 biographical book about Sister Lúcia de Jesús Rosa dos Santos ( OCD), the last surviving seer of Our Lady of Fátima apparitions in Cova da Iria, Fátima, Portugal. [1]
Written by the Discalced Carmelites nuns of Coimbra, Portugal, who lived with Sister Lúcia for 57 years, they share their personal knowledge and testimonies of her rich spirituality and depth of soul witnessed in her daily life. Drawing from her Memoirs, correspondence, oral narrations and private writings never before published, Lúcia's story unfolds, providing readers with a fascinating glimpse into the crosses she bore for the salvation of souls, peace in the world, the conversion of atheistic Russia and the spread of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Sister Lúcia, the famous little shepherdess of Fátima, chosen to spread the Messages of Our Lady of Fátima and devotion to her Immaculate Heart throughout the world, fulfilled this monumental task largely through humble faithfulness to daily duty, prayer and sacrifice.
Through her simple trust and great love for the "Hidden Jesus" and "the lady brighter than the sun", Sister Lúcia shows us how to live the Message of Fátima, a plan of peace and salvation for the whole world, still relevant today.
