Catherine McAuley

Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy
Catherine McAuley was born into a wealthy family in Ireland. Her father brought poor children to their home on weekends for instruction in the Catholic faith. He died when Catherine was very young but his compassion influenced her entire life. Catherine's mother taught her independence, poise and charm. After her mother's premature death Catherine went to live with the Callaghans. For twenty years she cared for them and their estate, grew closer to God through prayer and performed works of charity.

She inherited the Callaghan's fortune and used the money to build the House of Mercy for a home for working girls and orphans and a school for poor children. Other women joined her and in 1831 Catherine founded the Sisters of Mercy. Soon they were invited to other parts of Ireland and England. Two years after Catherine's death Frances Warde led the Sisters of Mercy to the United States. Within fifty years the circle of Mercy encompassed the world.

Marguerite d’Youville
Foundress of the Grey Nuns
Marguerite Dufrost Lajemmerais was born in 1701 at Varennes, Quebec, Canada. Her belovedfather died when she was seven. At age twenty-one Marguerite married Francois d’Youville. When Marguerite was pregnant with their sixth child, Francois died leaving her penniless. Four of her six children died in infancy. She opened a dry goods store to pay off her husband’s debts and raise her two sons. She put all her confidence in God, as a loving Father, who would provide for her and all of her needs.

Marguerite directed her love and concern for the poor to help those less fortunate than herself. Three ladies joined her, pooling together all their resources, caring for the sick, orphans, Indians, prostitutes and wounded soldiers. Marguerite and her companions wished to serve as instruments of God’s compassionate love for the poor.

In 1737 Marguerite and her companions consecrated themselves to God, founding the Institute of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal, Grey Nuns. Upon her death, in 1771, Marguerite’s last request was that her Sisters remain faithful to the duties of their life’s path, chosen for them by God, and that they live in perfect union and selfless charity. Pope John Paul II canonized Marguerite a saint on December 9, 1990, calling her Mother of Universal Charity. Today, six autonomous Grey Nun congregations of 3,000 consecrated women, serve poor and needy persons worldwide. Like Marguerite, they serve as instruments of God’s compassionate love for the poor in United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Japan, seven African Countries, First Nation of: Canada, Vietnam and Philippines. Two thousand Grey Nun Associates, along with the Sisters, continue the Mission of the Grey Nuns throughout the world.

Rev. Augustine S. Campion, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Church in Toledo, Ohio, pleaded the Grey Nuns for Sisters to care for the sick, homeless, orphaned and destitute. In 1855 four Grey Nuns and one lay woman volunteer arrived, establishing the first Grey Nun Mission in the United States. They treaded muddy streets to serve all in their homes. They opened St. Vincent Asylum, now known as Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, which today is a tertiary care facility, a member of Catholic Health Care Partners.

    :D :D :D :D Together with every thing which seems to be building inside this subject matter, a significant percentage of opinions tend to be very radical. Nevertheless, I appologize, because I can not give credence to your whole strategy, all be it refreshing none the less. It would seem to me that your commentary are actually not completely rationalized and in actuality you are generally your self not completely convinced of the argument. In any event I did enjoy looking at it.

    Clasping my arms like a climbing plant.
    The leaves garnered your voice,that was slow and at peace.
    Bonfire of awe in which my thirst was burning.
    Sweet blue hyacinth twisted over my soul.

    I feel your eyes travelling,and the autumn is far off;

    When you are old and gray and full of sleep
    And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
    And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
    Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
    Tiffany Locket
    How many loved your moments of glad grace,
    And loved your beauty with love false or true;
    But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
    And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
    And bending down beside the glowing bars,
    Anchor Pendant
    Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
    And paced upon the mountains overhead,
    And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

    Fans and many media members who want to work, covering games, are hopeful that a new collective bargaining agreement can be reached soon so the season won't be totally

    lost.But it won't be easy. The owners are sticking to their guns. And in a switch from past negotiations, the player aren't backing down and united in getting a deal they

    believe is fair for their membership.That's why union executive director Billy Hunter spent the last few days making sure the word got out to the players that the two

    sides are still far apart on some other issues, not just on the revenue split. There are several system issues as well. Hence, completing a deal is more than just a

    compromise on the revenue split.

    The Rosetta Stone program is aimed at learning a new language as the way learning mother tongue-connecting written and oral text with expressive objects, actions and concepts directly. Rosetta Stone uses pictures to determine meaning of words and phrases, without translation. Grammar, syntax and vocabulary are explained through examples. The reason why understanding the meaning of a word, is that the word has been associated with meaning directly (through pictures), rather than correlating with the same word in the mother tongue. No need to rely on translations, tedious description of the syntax and memory exercises. This can promote the development of innate language skills through the context.
