註釋

Throughout her life, Ward wrote, lectured, and raised money for her causes. Her books included biographies of Chesterton, Newman, Houselander, and Robert Browning, as well as books about the saints, the early church fathers, and scripture. To promote Sheed & Ward's books, she traveled the lecture circuit in America. She gave numerous talks at Catholic colleges, Newman clubs, and parish suppers, getting to know American Catholics. During her last decades she devoted herself to "harboring the harborless," founding the Catholic Housing Aid Society. Maisie Ward believed that "God mattered," and that faith unlived was no faith at all. Through her writing, social commitments, and lecturing, she inspired an entire generation of pre-Vatican II believers to hope that aggiornamento might be possible.
