- Edmund had a major fight with his friends about his aspiration to help give an education to boys in need, his friends did not approve and didn't want to be a part of his success.
- acted against injustice through teaching the boys about christianity and making them equal with the whole population
- Although most of Edmund's friends ignored his need for teachers and brothers, one of his friends put his hand up for the job and helped out, this was because Edmund preached of the boys in poverty without an education nor a life.

Edmund Rice had a significant impact on society because of his organisation and what he believed in. So many people were impacted by his achievement that they became willing to follow his ways. In 1835 a community of brothers were established in Gibraltar, they began moving around to countries like Australia, New Zealand, America, South Africa, Ireland, and Newfoundland. Although Edmund died in 1844, his legacy has lived on for over 2000 years and will keep doing so. Many are inspired by Edmund and many schools around the world have been named after him and his success. Also, Edmund has inspired thousands of brothers spread across 28 different countries. His organisation since the 1800s has changed many lives, it provides free education, food, clothing and is still remembered today as a leader and role model to a large number as his organisation provided magnificent things for the people in poverty and who are poor.

Dear Jesus,
help me to spread thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood thy soul with thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of thine. Shine through me and so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, to shine as to be a light to others, Amen.

Justification for prayer:
This prayer inspired by Edmund is used as a prayer for spreading the warmth and love of God through oneself to their neighbour. A neighbour can be anybody, not necessarily your neighbour next door, or a friend, but a complete stranger in need; in this instance the poor for Edmund and the dying man for the Good Samaritan.

“One thing you may be sure of that while you work for god whether you succeed or not, He will amply reward you.”

“the lord has given, and the lord has taken away: Blessed be the name of the lord forever”

“creating the hearts and the minds of the young in poverty”

“Give to the poor, in handfuls”

“Have courage; the good seed will grow in the heart of the child later on”

“were we to know the merit and value of only going from one street to another to serve a neighbour for the love of God, we should prize it more than silver and gold”

I believe that this miracle story connects with the kingly actions of Edmund, as they both include providing something for a number of people. Jesus feeds 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, Edmund gave the boys in poverty an education with 1 school and 2 teachers plus himself. Edmund had a strong belief that his outcome would be successful, like jesus said, and fortunately it turned out to be that his school helped hundreds.

When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

“Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

When Edmund was recovering from the loss of his wife, he turned to his faith, he decided to start living according to the teachings of Jesus. He felt as though he had a religious commitment to Christ and was 'called to serve'. Edmund considered to follow the religious life of the priests and brothers. Edmund started reading scriptures more and focused on the ones which involved the poor and needy. Edmund became aware that he was lucky to have receive a Catholic education and wished to provide one for people who couldn't afford it and those in poverty. Edmund was also influenced and inspired by the work of Nano Nagle, a Presentation Sister who helped to educate and teach skills to poor women. The example of the sisters made Edmund determined to do something to help the boys.

Ireland in the early 1800s was very overcrowded and many lived in poverty with social structures strongly abused the majority of the population.  It was a very unjust place at the time, so Rice used most of his wealth to ensure a school for boys in poverty was set up. Free education was given to these young men and boys. His aim was to promote an education that recognised the dignity of each individual. He sought to liberate them from their ignorance of God and of their Catholic faith, while at the same time empowering them with an education which would enable them to rise from poverty and the sense of hopelessness. Unfortunately, Ireland at the time was under penal Laws which prevented any Catholic from owning any land over a certain value. The Penal Law also prevented Catholics from attending mass and receiving any education. During the time when Edmund was ensuring those in poverty received an education, these laws were relaxed, and luckily, in 1829 the laws were dropped.

The Holy Edmund Ignatius Rice, was a Roman Catholic missionary and educationalist.

Edmund was the founder of two religious institutes: The Congregation of Christian Brothers and the Presentation Brothers. Rice was born on the 1st of June, 1762 in the town of Westcourt near the village of Callan in County Kilkenny in Ireland. He was born into wealthy farming family with 7 brothers and 2 step-sisters. When Edmund was a young man he moved to the busy city port of Waterford and became a very successful businessman as he was extremely talented and grew to be very wealthy. Edmund married Marry Elliot, but unfortunately she passed giving birth to their daughter. His daughter was born premature and handicapped. During this time of loss and mourning his relationship with God grew very strong. He turned to his faith and became incredibly connected with scriptures and the parables of Jesus. Edmunds eyes were "opened" and in his own brokenness he was moved with empathy to notice those who were suffering from brokenness around him.
