Mary Mackillop influenced many people over her time period leaving behind her work/mission. Today the 21st century groups include the sisters of saint joseph, Mary Mackillop foundation and the Mary Mackillop family continuing Mary’s priestly, prophetic and kingly roles for her same work by providing a catholic education to children, taking charge of orphanages and refuges and by finding safe homes for homeless children in Australia. In 1909 following the death of Mary there were 750 Sisters of St Joseph educating over 4,000 students in 117 schools and providing care for over 1,000 people across Australia. This was the start of  Mary’s legacy being uplifted and continued on, coming out today at a much higher status. To elaborate the Mary Mackillop Foundation Is one always striving to raise money for children and help them find a school good for them. Also, the Mary Mackillop family striving to find safe, secure and reliable homes for children who don’t have families or who were born into abusive ones. Overall today all of the groups and individuals who have continued Mary’s Work have followed and completed Mary’s mission to great standards.

Paragraph 6: Priestly, Prophetic and Kingly roles

# data[].attributes.body
Mary Mackillop was one to demonstrate many priestly prophetic and kingly work of Jesus. She showed this through three roles. Firstly, the priestly role. Mary showed this priestly role through her strong faith and love towards God at a very young age through her parents. As Mary grew up her love towards God got stronger and she desired to do what she could for the people in need. Mary would also bring people together through educating poor children. Secondly the prophetic role. Mary Mackillop demonstrated the prophetic role by speaking against injustice by creating an education to the poor and disadvantaged children, opening schools to everyone, with or without money. Mary did accept the fact that the world was not equal, and she wouldn’t be able to fix that. Lastly the kingly role. Mary demonstrated the kingly role by showing her power to the world to promote the kingdom of God, to love one another. Mary used her power and  followed her passion to create a school and give an education to the children who couldn’t afford one . Then teaching them how to love one another like God did . Mary also showed her power by stepping up when it was told that there was a certain priest that was abusing children , she then dismissed the priest from the church.

At the time of the industrial revolution, pope Leo XIII was concerned about the growing inequality of wealth between the worker and the employer. In the year 1891 he wrote an encyclical letter named Rerum Novarum which challenged the rights and duties of those with wealth.

Throughout the letter Pope Leo XIII States:

-          If the worker is treated fairly they will do their best work(be productive) and the employer will be benefited

-          To gain money at someone else’s despair is against Christian teaching

-          If you are lucky and you have more than other people you should share with others

-          Everyone has the right to keep their own things but its going against Christian values not to share

-          Everyone should follow the Christian values of sharing and giving

The part of the encyclical that may have inspired Mary Mackillop on her work would be the part about the capital providing the funds to provide man with food, clothing and shelter. This would have encouraged Mary with her work because it would have given herself more of a push to go on with her idea of helping the poor giving them an education and giving homes to the homeless children.

Ever generous God,
You inspired Saint Mary MacKillop
To live her life faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and constant in bringing hope and encouragement
to those who were disheartened, lonely or needy.
With confidence in your generous providence
and through the intercession of Saint Mary MacKillop
We ask that you grant our request……………….
We ask that our faith and hope be fired afresh by the Holy Spirit
so that we too, like Mary MacKillop, may live with courage, trust and openness.
Ever generous God hear our prayer.
We ask this through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Above Is a prayer written about Mary Mackillop and her work. This prayer was written for God. The Prayer was written because people are asking God if they are able to have the same courage, trust and openness at Mary Mackillop. The impact of his prayer is quite large because it is showing and telling you that Mary did have a big impact on a lot of people also influencing many people to follow her.

My Lord,

Will you kindly permit me to write a few thoughts which it troubles me to keep from you, and yet which I can hardly express when talking to you.

I would speak them, my Lord, and I am sure you would wish me to be unreserved with you, but I seem to lose courage; in trying to be unreserved I would displease my Bishop.

It is in a most docile and humble spirit, my Lord, that I can venture to say what are and have been for many years the thoughts of my heart. I longed for a Religious life, one in which I could serve God and His poor neglected little ones, in poverty and disregard of the world and its fleeting opinions.

When an opportunity of entering another religious Community was offered to me, family circumstances, for one reason, prevented my availing myself of it, but there was another reason as well, known only to my Confessor, namely, that in the Order I could not find what my heart craved. I looked for a poverty more like unto that practised in the early Religious Orders of the Church, a poverty which in its practice would make a kind of reparation to God for the little confidence now placed in His Divine Providence by so many of His creatures. Circumstances, as well as choice, having for many years compelled me to live as a teacher, I saw so much of the evils attending a merely secular course of education, that all my desires seemed to centre in a wish to devote myself to poor children and the afflicted poor, in some very poor Order.

My Confessor at one time thought I would have to go to France ere I could meet with what I desired. But after a few years I went to open a school in Penola, under Father Woods, who gradually unfolded to me his idea of endeavouring to do something in the same way for the neglected poor children of South Australia. The way in which he described their wants so completely agreed with all my previous desires, that when he asked me whether (provided he got the Bishop's consent to commence an Institute to meet these wants) I would remain and become one of his first children in the flock, I joyfully consented.

From that time I gave myself completely to the work, which almost every day seemed to confirm as the vocation I had so long sought, and under the direction of my good Confessor I found true peace.

On your Lordship's return from Europe in l868, I was, with another Sister present when in your presence Father Woods went over each chapter and point of our Rule previous to its getting your entire approbation. Upon that occasion, my Lord, you made some remarks about the wording of some of the sentences, to which Father Woods attended, and then in the end you kindly approved of the Rule as it now is.

From that time I looked upon it as sacred, and can you blame me, my Lord, if I do so still? I know that you can withdraw your approbation from it, and if our good God so wills it I am resigned. But, Oh! pardon me, my Lord, if I say that I cannot in conscience see the Rule altered and still remain a Sister. I am your child, my Lord, your humble, helpless child. I want to please you, but above all to please God, and do His holy Will. If then in any way it may please Him that you should alter the Rule then, my Lord, I feel that I must take the alternative that you offered, and leave the Institute, until it may please God to give me in some other place what my soul desires. Though Father Woods was God's instrument in drawing out the Rule, I never regarded the work as a merely human invention. Had I done so, I could not be here.

I grieve to think that as a body we have committed many faults, and often erred in judgment and prudence. I am glad, Oh, so glad! that you, my Lord, are taking the Convent from us. It was much too comfortable for us poor Sisters, and I never was satisfied in it for that reason.

I love and respect our Pastors, but yet I do feel it hard that, as soon as Father Woods is gone, the work for which he had so long and so patiently toiled should be placed in so much danger, and he not here to say one word in its defence? He would not thus act to any of those who are now opposed to him.

These are the thoughts I have which I wish to tell you. I wish to tell them to you, my Bishop and Father, and I implore your pardon, my Lord, if I have presumed too much. To whom can I tell them, if not to you, who besides being my Bishop, I regard as an exalted father who would wish to help even the lowliest of his children.

Humbly craving your Lordship's blessing, I remain,

your obedient child in J.M.J.

Our Father

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.

These two payers are significant to Mary Mackillop’s mission and worth because they both refer back to helping people and giving to others in need and that is nearly  on the line of what Mary’s mission is.

The Parable Story

The Good Samaritan

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 neighbor 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.”

The parable of the Good Samaritan is about Loving 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 to Love your neighbour as yourself. It then goes on the exclaim that a man was beaten up by some robbers until he was half dead, 2 men passed who he thought would help but passed him like he wasn’t even there, but then a despised Samaritan man came along and took pity on him, caring for him, the next day then giving him to the inn keeper to take care of . The moral being that the neighbour was the despised Samaritan. This Parable story inspired Mary McKillop because she would have heard about the despised Samaritan help the man in need, encouraging her to help the poor children in need of a home and an education.

Eldest of 8 children, she had little formal schooling, but was well educated through her parents. Her father, having trained as a reverend, helped Mary having a strong faith and love towards God, always having the desire to help people in need. At the age of 16 Mary began work as a clerk for Sands and Kenny stationers of Melbourne supporting her mother and five younger siblings. At 18 years moving to a small private township of Penold in South Australia to become her aunt and uncle’s governess: she earned an income which she sent to her mother to support the children in Melbourne. Southern Fitzroy in the 1850’s had become a rundown depressed area occupied by the socially and economically disadvantaged. Churches and charitable bodies acted to mitigate the suffering of the unemployed and the abandoned. Due to these conditions in Fitzroy Mary was motivated and committed to change it over her lifetime. Unfortunately, in 1902 Mary suffered a stroke and was invalid until her death on August 8th, 1909 in North Sydney.
