Author:

Mother Basilea, born Klara Schlink (October 21, 1904 in Darmstadt, Germany – March 21, 2001 in Darmstadt) was a German religious leader and writer. She was leader of the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary, which she cofounded, from 1947 to 2001.

Basilea Schlink was a sister of Edmund Schlink, a professor in theology. Her father Wilhelm Schlink was a professor of mechanics. After finishing high school in Braunschweig and Darmstadt, she was educated (from 1923) at the Fröbelseminar in Kassel, from 1924 at the Inner missions girls' school in Berlin. In 1929 she became a teacher at the Mission House Malche in Bad Freienwalde (Oder) in German, psychology and church history. After matriculation in 1930 she studied psychology, art history and philosophy in Berlin and Hamburg. This study was completed by a religious-psychologic thesis about “Consciousness of Sin in adolescent girls and its significance for their battle of faith.”

Croatian Summary:

Majka Basilea vadi vrijedne dragocjenosti za naš život kao blago odande, otkuda to najmanje slutimo: iz patnje. Osvrćući se na dug život, bogat križevima i kušnjama, Majka Basilea navodi razne kategorije patnje i svjedoči o koristi koja je iz nje dobivena. Već nekoliko stranica u stanju je izvući iz rezignacije i bune. Na najmračnija područja našega života iznenada pada svjetlo Božjih namjera iz ljubavi, koje stoje iza toga. To nam pomaže da na sudbonosnim raskršćima našega života donesemo pravu odluku, o kojoj sve ovisi za vremena patnje i za vječnost.

English Summary:
