A young girl who had a great heart changed so many things. She had pity for those poor people. Catherine Elizabeth McAuley who was a very merciful person gave all her wealthy to the poor people or the people who needed it the most and she was so faithful that gave a new religious family to the Church. Since She was always surrounded by people who are always suffering and in pain, she learned to enclose within her own heart the sufferings of others and to feel the pain in others as her own pain. For year and years, she became so kind responsible and courageous that brought her to the House of Mercy and from the faith that She has the Sister of Mercy.

In the Irish Catholic community not all of them where poor, there where farmers who had nice houses and they owned an entire land. In urban areas they kept building cities as well as the concurrent relaxation of the Penal Code. Enterprising builders, merchants, craftsmen seemed to modest fortunes regardless of religious affiliations. James McAuley ( AKA Catherine’s father) seem to have one of this. He signed himself as a carpenter later on he signed as a builder then as a grazer lastly as a Gent. If Catherine didn’t have James McAuley as his father, she would have lived a graceful life in polite society, insulated from the sufferings of Ireland's poor and fed on false assumptions concerning them.

In Ireland, the land where miserable, poor and sick people use to live and the only reason why most people kept impoverished was the Penal Code. The Protestants where against Catholic affiliation with the Pope, Rome and with the Catholic Stuarts. Ireland was a really poor and miserable country and that’s why men and women were trying to find a solution to their social, political and economic problems. A law name Penal laws begun when Catherine McAuley was nearing 20. This helped all the people by them owning a land, kids going to school and so much things. Thanks to all the women, men and Catherin McAuley that put all the effort on having a better life style this was possible. So, because of them everything changed.

Catherine was born from wealthy parents she learned from her dad how deal with poor people from that which prevailed in upper class society. As a Christian its duty is to give alm to the needy, the lady’s where in charge to give the alms. They did this not because they have pity for them but because of charity as a condescension, the bestowing of a reward on those deemed worthy. Catherine was five when she used to observe the good manners these kids use to have after her dad taught them. She also noticed how attached his father was to his Catholic heritage and to the children’s. sharing her father with the poor was the beginning of her giving to the poor according to their needs rather than according to her own convenience.

Catherine was five when she entered in a suffering life because her father died in 1783. They sold their house where all their memories they had with her dad where and they moved to another house on Mary Street. She then started observing that none of the relatives and friends who frequented the house had the courageous, firm, gentlemanly stance toward Catholicism that her father had had. Catherine’s mom name was Elinor Conway McAuley which has three kids Catherine, James and Mary.

Elinor died and she had little to leaver her children. Years later Sister Catherin McAuley saw an importance of visiting the sick and poor people in their homies. She had now started a collection of prayers and one of her first collection were prayers to be said at the bedside of the sick and the dying.

After Elinor McAuley's death, Mary and James went to live with the Armstrong's while Catherine chose to live with her mother's brother, Dr. Owen Conway. Catherine visited the poor, sick and taught children in the afternoons with her friends. When Dr. Conway went bankrupt, Catherine discovered that as a refined and delicate lady, she could endure a great deal of hardship. She learned to ignore her own discomfort in favor of another's. William Armstrong was aggressive in his attacks on the Catholic Church and was determined to win Catherine away from the religion associated with servants and ignorant peasants. catherine became a student of Protestant and Catholic teachings. Her studies strengthened her faith and enabled her to give her whole being to it with great peace. To remain resolute under attack without aggressiveness, to continue to hold in affection, pointed to rich gift of the spirit at work, in her understanding love and tender courage.

After almost five years at the Conway's and Armstrong's, Catherine was offered another home in 1803 with the Callahan's. Gradually the gave over to her the management of their Coolock home and estates, enabling her to do good for the poor in their name. Catherine had trained herself to see the reflection of God's presence in nature and in artifacts. Mrs Callahan whose health had failed often required nursing and care in which catherine cared and comforted her in every way. She read the sacred readings, not out of sense of duty, nor to satisfy curiosity, but to seek a way of life, a way for her to respond to the world in which she was living. Catherine had experienced hunger and cold, but she had also experienced second-class citizenship, being dependent of those who provided for her.

William Callahan delighted in the skill with which Catherine administered his contributions to the poor. As a Christian Gentleman he took seriously his responsibility to give 10% of his income to charity. At his death in 1824 he named catherine his sole heiress. The estate he left her would translate in modern inflationary times to approximately one million dollars.

Of the many experiences Catherine McAuley had, the most difficult were those when she was asked to help and could not give it. One experience determined her to find some means to respond to needs without bureaucratic red tape. Catherine McAuley's please about young women seeking refuge had no effect. Catherine attended the meeting of the committee to no avail. The girl was victimized. When Catherine McAUley found herself an heiress, she made two resolutions. Her inheritance would be used for the relief and instruction of the poor and build a refuge for distressed women of good character.

Determined to provide education to the children of the poor, catherine acquainted herself with current techniques and procedures. Catherine provided for the inclusion of a large schoolroom in building a House of Mercy where, along with up-to-date schooling, the Catholic faith would be taught and practiced, at the prestigious Kildare School. catherine who had nursed so many through their last illness knew first hand th fears that beset the sick and dying.

Catherine was directing the affairs of three households when she initiated the school, the visitation of the sick, and the house of refuge, which became a training school and an employment agency. The builder of the house of mercy had used conventual architecture; the ladies had adopted simple dress; and they had began to address each other affectionately as sister.  So deeply did she feel this new attack that in 1829 when the House of Mercy Chapel opened as a public oratory, she did not attend the opening Mass but prayed quietly alone. During the furor that the House of Mercy occasioned, one priest took it upon himself to inform Catherine, the Archbishop wanted the House of Mercy handed over immediately to the Sisters of Charity. Catherine had found this very difficult to do, she had her own plans for development of capable young women of enlightened faith ad for the provision of a good education for the neglected children of Dublin's poor. Catherine later then wrote to Archbishop Murray offering the House of Mercy  to him. this may be the moment which gave birth to the Sisters of Mercy. her deep faith in the action of God in all events did not permit Catherine to dismiss the Archbishop's suggestion, no matter how uncongenial she found it.  When she spoke of this development to her associates, some were delighted, some were willing, and some volunteers ceased their association. On September 8,1830 three set out for the Presentation Convent at George's Hill, Dublin, to be schooled in religious communal life: Catherine McAuley, Mary Ann Doyle, and Elizabeth Harley.

Proverbs 19:17
"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."
This Bible quotes relates a lot to Catherine. It basically describes Catherine through all these passages.
This relates to Catherine because from an early age she started helping the needy along with her father. She was always willing to help no matter what the circumstances were. She gives her all to the people and kids. She knew that if she gives, she shall receive more from the Lord. So that’s why she was always willing anyone that needs her help.

The reason why I putted this video is because I feel this relates a lot to Catherine, because Catherine she used to help the people in need. In this video, we can see a wise man helping this family. They didn’t have money to buy the cake so he bought it for them and in a paper, he said “A simple act of caring creates an endless ripple.” He said that meaning that if in any moment they can help someone to do so. And I feel Catherine does the same thing or if she was in that position, I know she would have said the same thing, because she helps others so that others can help others.

During her stay, Catherine had two 
separate major bosses, each one of them. With a particular approach towards the heiress of Dublin planning to create her It's own order. She was the first to be regarded as an aging, adult lady, granting her Specific instruction expected by a major religious superior. The second one She believed that Catherine had to 
feel what any beginner had to experience. She tried to exercise 
her modesty, tolerance, and charity. Sister Caterina, Who had served several serious novitiates during her career, met one of them.

Catherine McAuley was first Superior of the Sisters of Mercy in 1831. Archbishop Murray appointed her first Superior in the name of the Church. She was not home long before two Sisters were buried in the vaults of the Carmelite Fathers in Clarendon Street. Many did not know what to make of the new style of religious women introduced to the Church in Dublin, walked the streets on errands of mercy without relinquishing prayer, silence, meditation, and recitation of the Office.
The Rule was confirmed in an incredibly short time on June 6, 1841. New candidates arrived at Baggot Street regularly. Highly gifted and much needed Sisters lived only a short time but the works went on. Without a community of support, it could not go on. The Sun never, I believe, went down on our anger. This is our only boast, otherwise we have been deficient enough. Without space and time with God and each other to develop and renew those virtues absolutely necessary for the monumental task before them .She tried to hold a Public Profession to which both the rich and the poor were invited. Catherine's strategy was to arouse compassion in order to channel the wealth of a locality towards its poor. She believed God-given blessings were intended to bless the less fortunate.

Catherine utilized all modes of transportation as she embarked on her foundation travels. She was negotiating foundations for Liverpool and Newfoundland during the weakness of her last illness. Catherine urged her Sisters to adapt to local circumstances. The first English novices sent over to Ireland to be prepared to make a foundation in the Bermondsey section of London were trained in Cork. The Reception shortly after their return to England of feathered and diamonded Lady Barbara Ayre with many members of the Court of St. James was probably the most splendid ever held by the Sisters of Mercy. Catherine commented, "The poor will soon have the feathers and diamonds." She did not like the Convent designed by the famous architect, Pugin. Its ethereal Gothic was lost on her who wanted Sisters to see beyond the convent.
Pugin was also architect for the second Convent of Mercy in Birmingham, England. He brought the windows to eye level and provided more places for light to enter.

Her life as foundress of the Sisters of Mercy breathes forth from her own pen. More than two hundred extant letters pulsate with the ardor of a vibrant woman who called forth dynamic response. What shines through her letters as she encourages, cajoles, persuades, praises, finds fault, consoles, or spurs onward is her faith that whatever God permits is a blessing. There is no passivity in what she says. It is an active "Yes" that she encourages on all as they seek to do God's work on earth. Her preparation for death continued the pattern of her life. She laid aside one cherished piece of business, the building of a hospital to heal the sick. She refused when asked to name a successor because the Constitutions gave the Sisters the right to elect her.
She died November 11, 1841, having set in motion what was to become the largest congregation in the world. Her bequest to all her Sisters of Mercy is contained in the words, "My legacy to the Institute is Charity" The stirrings of one small child's heart cast fire.

Catherine McAuley's own gratitude for the gifts of God's mercy, opened those gifts to those in bottomless hospitality. She bequeathed those gifts to her followers. She desired to animate those, who with her, gave life and fortune to the poor and needy.
Catherine Mcauley made herself aware of the pain and suffering of others; she took counsel to discern how best to effect relief and improvement, and then set out immediately with great faith and trust in God to do it. After her wealth had been paid out, giving from her poverty became her style of life. The woman would rather be cold and hungry, also had freedom in spirit to change her direction when necessary, and to set off on uncharted areas.

In Catherine's day, many were poor, and few wealthy. Few thought nothing could be done, or nothing should be done. The sick and poor were deprived of help, the poor were thought of little consequence.  They lacked knowledge, education, and opportunity. In her day, some who had been well off later were impoverished.Many thought the wealthy should learn privation. The rich were resented, and thought to be english sympathizers. she saw their potential for doing good. In our day in spite of the ills of society, the poor, the sick the abused, the deserted, and the lonely, abound. When were spiritual and temporal works of mercy more needed? In her day, catherine found her response and mercy in just hearing and listening and seeing. She brought her heart to misery. She broke through the impossibilities of her time, by concern of the poor, the sick and ignorant. She connected the rich to the poor, healthy to the sick, educated to the uninstructed, the influential to those of no consequences, and the powerful to the weak, to do the work of God.

we chose this video, because it talks about what god wants us to do, what we can do so we can rejoice in his kingdom. this relates to catherine mcauley because she had people do what god wanted them to do. she had lots of faith in god, that she believed she could persuade others to do what he wanted, and what's best for us. even though Catherine suffered from a lot of stuff, she never gave up, because what she ever needed, was god, and he was right beside her through every moment good and bad times. he was the reason she was able to persuade others to do what god has wanted us to do.

The reason I chose this video, is because the man in the video relates exactly as to what Catherine McAuley did for those who were in need. The man helped those people who were in need, and he expected nothing more, but them to be happy. The people saw how much he cared for them, that in the end, they gave him emotions. Just like catherine McAuley, she expected nothing, but in return, the people gave her emotions.
