Catherine McAuley

Catherine McAuley died November 11th, 1841 in Baggot Street Convent, Dublin

Today we remember our loved one

As we celebrate  Catherine’s entry into the fullness of life we remember…

The power of one woman to change the viewing point

The listening of one woman to hear the call and to walk in faith

The wisdom of one woman to collaborate for the common good

The courage of one woman to give her legacy for the relief of poverty

The prophecy of one woman to seek education for all

The commitment of one woman to people left behind

The kindness of one woman to open her heart to the world

The presence of one woman in the pain of hunger and thirst

The faith of one woman to trust in divine providence

The mercy of one woman to build the bridge of hope

The love of one woman to give her life in the service of many

Mercy is more than charity; it not only bestows benefits but receives us anew, and pardons again and again even the most ungrateful

Mercy the principal path

Pray for us Catherine and may our footsteps, with yours, be written in Mercy
