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
