Ernest Nyry's Legacy and Personal History
Mgr. Ernest Nyry, Carmelite monk, archbishop of the Catholic Latin mission of Baghdad, a member of the Saint Congregation of the Oriental Churches, awarded with the French Legion of Honor, approaching the age of 80, came to see his disciples, parents, and friends living in Hungary for the last time. Then he transmitted his legacy in full to his brother Joseph's daughter, confiding her to preserve and manage it.
Her Childhood and Inspiration
Her father told many stories to va Nyry about the romantic priest's career in her childhood. The several long meetings with him in the eighties left her with extraordinary impressions. The recorded conversations, the writings published about the noble thinking, and the sainted monk matured her conception to share her impressions with readers. When she was handed over his diaries, texts, correspondence, photos, and recorded memories, having his uncle's complete confidence, she already felt an obligation to work on this fantastic treasury.
