Droga wiary s. Emanueli Kalb, duchaczki (1899-1986)

Abstract

A convert from Judaism to Christianity, a daughter of a rabbi from Rzeszów, Sister Emanuel Kalb, consciously chose Christ as her Master and bridegroom when she joined the Convent of the Holy Ghost Sisters in Krakow. Accepting baptism, she had to overcome many difficulties from her surroundings. She followed Christ through prayer and sacrifice and reached peaks of spiritual unity with Lord Jesus in love. Having met Christ in her way, Sister Emanuel Kalb chose Him as her Master and Bridegroom. Led through the dark nights of faith, she discovered an unusual chance of uniting with Him by accepting suffering and offering her life for the chosen people and for priests. In the love given her by Christ she had a foretaste of the fullness he prepared for us all in eternity. An experience of the love of sacrifice led her to the very core of the secret of love of the Holy Trinity, which is the beginning of all love.
