But Thy Love and Thy Grace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966844051)

A working-girl since she was eleven, Regina O'Connell has always been poor. Now she and her invalid sister are the only ones left of their family and live in tenement housing together. At the parish bazaar held to raise money for orphans, Regina enters the raffle for a diamond ring-the most beautiful ring she has ever seen; and her confessor, hearing her story from one of the women organizing the bazaar, puts Regina's name on the chances he buys. God, however, is calling the young woman to a high degree of perfection, and at her confessor's encouragement, she begins to generously pray the prayer of St. Ignatius, renouncing all the consolations of the world and asking for only God's love and grace.
