They were founded in Ireland in 1831 by Catherine McAuley. She was a well-to-do young lay woman who had already established in Dublin a House of Mercy where she taught poor girls and gave shelter to homeless women. Her new religious order soon became noted for its zeal in carrying on these types of social charity. It spread across Ireland and soon by invitation into other lands, especially where impoverished Irish people had emigrated. For Mother Catherine mercy meant love in the face of misery ; and the world was full of the poor who needed love. Mother McAuley was skilled at training her sisters for their special calling demanding, but gentle. Every now and again she left her central house on Baggot Street, Dublin, to visit her novices and postulants who were at the Mercy convent in Carlow. The learners shared the Carlow nuns high regard for the founders with one exception. This one candidate is the subject of our story. The historian of the Mercy sisterhood tells us Reverend Mother McAuley was liked by all except one postulant in whose stocking she had observed a hole on a previous visit. Who was the postulant? No name is given. Did she persevere as a candidate? No statement on that either. But the facts stand. The young woman was not only embarrassed that Reverend Mother had noticed a hole in her stocking; she was angry with her for having pointed it out! The Scottish poet, Robert Burns, once wrote, Oh wad some power thogiftiegie us, to see ourselves as others see us (In modern English: Oh would some Power the gift give us, to see ourselves as others see us. ) We sent criticism because we do not like to admit our shortcomings. But criticism can be one of the highest acts of love. So, we must not brood over it as a supposed injury but welcome it as a gracious gift. After all, unless we know we have a hole in our stocking, how can we mend it? (See 1 Corinthians, today s second reading.) ~Rev. Edward J Smith

4 ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH ADORATION CHAPEL The same Jesus is with us in our churches who at His birth was laid on straw and adored by the Magi, who fled into Egypt, who was sought for by the Blessed Virgin and found in the Temple, who changed water into wine, who restored the sight to the blind, made deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. Beloved Christian, you esteem Simeon happy in having been permitted to take the Infant Jesus in his arms and were you to receive a grace like him, no doubt you would exclaim: Now dost Thou dismiss Thy servant in peace because my eyes have seen Thy salvation. ~The Holy Eucharist, Jose Guadalupe Trevino PRO LIFE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Did you know that since 1973 when abortion was decriminalized in the U.S. over 60 million babies have been killed in their mother s womb? This is equal to the population of a country the size of Italy! Help end abortion.
