Summary / Abstract:

ENHe was the renovator of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary; founder of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Poor and the Sisters Servants of Jesus in the Eucharist; and the architect of the Lithuanian ecclesias tical province as well as a historic Concordat between Lithuania and the Vatican. He was a professor, seminary vice-rector, bishop, and arch bishop, now on the road to sainthood. But what was Blessed George Matulaitis (1871-1927) really like, and how does he inspire us today? In this lively and revealing series of “sketches,” Sr. Viktorija Plečkaitytė, MVS, stitches together citations from Blessed George’s letters, lectures, and homilies to present his character, personality, and spiritual depth in a new light. On the eve of the worldwide observance of the centenary of Blessed George’s death, readers will re-discover the courageous fidelity of an extraordinary churchman who truly lived his episcopal motto, “Overcome evil with good.”.
