Rerum Novarum is a document that in Latin means "of new things". This is an encyclical that Pope Leo XIII sent on the fifteenth of May 1891. The encyclical includes many things on different aspects of life, such as: justice for the workers, the responsibility of the rich, the common good, protection of the poor, working hours, expectations and hours and wages. I think that Caroline Chisholm respected the dignity of all humans, which refers back to justice for workers. She had no limit of care for the poor and less fortunate, as she was genuinely concerned with social justice issues, family wages, private owners of personal farms and freedom to migrate to wherever they personally wanted to go.

Caroline Chisholm followed this parable and it has been successfully confirmed that it was one of the writings that inspired her to do her work. The main message that we can take from the parable of the good Samaritan is to love your neighbour and treat others how you would like to be treated. This inspired Caroline, as she never saw a need without helping the person or creating something that could benefit the people eventually, for example, she founded a school in India, and she improved the state of boats traveling to Australia. She didn’t care who she was helping, what they believed in or what they had done in the past - she helped them no matter what.

This passage from Matthew 19:21 is likely to have inspired Caroline in her work and life, as she dedicated her self to her work and sacrificed her whole life in England and moved away with her husband. She started her work in India and through the rest of her life, continued her work in Australia and back in her home country, England.

21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money[a] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

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

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

27 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’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”

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

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

30 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[c] 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.’

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

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

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Caroline Chisholm Society - Caroline Chisolm Society

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Inspired by Caroline Chisholm, we support you as mothers with your babies and toddlers. We also support the family that surrounds you. For some, we can offer you material goods to alleviate your financial stress because you're fleeing domestic violence, are at risk of homelessness and don't have the financial resources.

During her life, she contributed so much to the world but sadly Caroline could not live forever. Her impact on the world lives on, as there are many societies that have taken on her message and influence. The Caroline Chisholm society was inspired by her life message and her work throughout the years - they help and support young women through pregnancy, birth and growing families. The society helps with financial stress, counselling, they assist families on the verge of homelessness, or if someone is affected by domestic violence. The goal of this society is to be there for anyone who needs it - this is one of the ideas and messages that Caroline lived by. Their program relies on volunteers to support and keep this program active and to make sure the message of Caroline Chisholm lives on even though she is gone.

Caroline Chisholm wrote many passages for newspapers. One she wrote in 1846 on 7th of April, for the editors of the Sydney Morning Herald, was about how the immigrants who have moved to Australia are better off and how she has created many opportunities in Australia for young women - so that they can raise successful families and contribute to Australia. She also expressed that she will continue to support anyone who needs help.

A letter was written to “Madam" of Kings Street in London - this letter was written by Caroline Chisholm. In this letter it explains that there are many opportunities for young women to become teachers in Australia. This handwritten letter also involved some immigration advice for the receiver. I think that the impact of this letter would be that the person receiving the letter would pass on the information to young women to help them migrate to Australia. She wrote this piece for the person she sent it to, but also to assist young women more generally.

The Priestly Prophetic and kingly roles                   

# data[].attributes.body
Caroline Chisholm demonstrated the priestly, prophetic and kingly roles of Jesus throughout her whole life, as she sacrificed her whole life in India and moved to Australia. She also brought people together as she has set up a system that helped families move to Australia using loans from a bank. This assisted people make connections with one another from all across Australia and England. As Chisholm grew up praying to the Lord, she continued this into her adult life.

Chisholm followed the prophetic role of Jesus as she spoke out against the treatment of the single female immigrants, as she saw people were exploiting and taking advantage of them. She also took action and influenced a change in the conditions for people travelling to Australia by ships.

She also used her power and influence to start up accommodation for female immigrants and set up a foundation that helped immigrants move to Australia. By achieving these significant actions, she was acting upon the kingly roles of Jesus.

Caroline Chisholm was born in 1808 in Northampton, England. Her father worked as a landowner and a pig dealer; her mother raised her to not know the word meaningless. With these principles, they raised her and her 7 siblings in the Christian tradition. As she was raised in the Church, she was convinced that God was calling her to help people in need. She was well educated - she could speak French, was good with numbers and wrote fluent English. In 1830, aged 22, Caroline married Archibald Chisholm who was 35. He was a Scottish soldier in the East India Company army. They lived happily in England for two years before being posted to Madras, India. She continued her social work and began to notice that children, specifically daughters of soldiers were struggling with education and life in general. So, she took action and founded the female community School of Industry for the daughters of European soldiers, to assist with poor living conditions. At her school she didn’t just teach girls basic education skills but also practical, domestic skills so that they could be effective, confident young women. Caroline, along with Archibald, arrived in Australia in the year 1838 and found a society in the process of rapid change. Boatloads of immigrants were arriving on the shore, as a prosperous civilisation collapsing into a great depression. Chisholm soon realised that single men fared best, while married men with families were at a strong disadvantage since they had more mouths to feed but those who were the worst off, were single women as no concern was thrown their way. In 1839 her third son was born and a year later her husband was needed back at his post. Caroline chose to stay in Australia along with her children. She continued her work and in 1841 – 1844 she set up an employment agency called the Female Immigrants’ home in Sydney. The employment agency helped immigrants find jobs and over the years, her work helped provide jobs to over 14,000 people. In 1846, Caroline and her children returned to her home country, England, where she started to encourage the migration to Australia, NSW. During her time back in England she was supported by some wealthy London nationals. With this support, she established family colonization loans, that lent families money if they wanted to move to Australia as immigrants. Additionally, she helped passed an Act that made conditions on boats better for people trying to travel to Australia. Due to poor health for many years prior, Caroline Chisholm died in 1877 aged 69. Caroline was such a significant figure that her legacy lived on after she did, as: suburbs, university statues and federal electorates were named after her and in addition to the already impressive list of attributes, she had her portrait on the $5 note from 1967 until 1992.
