Catherine McAuley in her own words by Jaclyn https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3 Chapter 5 Witness en-us 2021-09-20 16:03:35 UTC 2025-10-01 15:54:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Witness ( pg 95) rocielycanul https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775189602  Catherine McAuley's theme song was all about that us  religious people that we should be one union with  God (united).This is an important lesson to learn: our world has many difficulties, including divorce and the destruction of families. Catherine had difficulties as well, but she had faith in God."at the end of the sky is the rising of the sun" (Ps18)she belived that. She was a great woman who has a significant influence on the Mercy Sisters. Catherine McAuley was a holy lady who reached God via prayer, faith in Christ, and the sacraments, especially the Eucharist.]]> 2021-09-28 16:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775189602 pg 90 shaliniflores https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775191028 According to a manuscript, Catherine used authority and expected the sisters to like Jesus. When it came to interacting with people, Catherine had a gift for comprehension and approach. In a piece of advise, she once wrote, "learn the dispositions of individuals under your command and employ them in accordance with their respective capacities." This led her to stray from the guidance of perfectae caritatis: "managing his subjects as God's own sons and with them to obey willingly," according to Catherine McAuley. In the same way, she wished for her sisters to maintain high-level educational achievement in the religious life, but this should never be the purpose of achievement. She also intended for her branch convents' superiors to avoid legalism.]]> 2021-09-28 16:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775191028 91 shaliniflores https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775191556 Catherine McAuley's letters and frequent trips to the new convents placed her squarely in the Pauline tradition of frequent travel and frequent writing. In one case, she wrote a letter to her sister M Elizabeth Moore of Limerick to entertain and relax them. She referred to her superiors as "foreign powers," and her letters were titled "foundation circulars." Her concept of authority was openness and consultation. She was also highly courteous of people, which was one of her features. Catherine's attitude toward her sisters, as well as her family, was one of liberation. She instilled the correct mindset in people around her, and she lived the credo that "realness is the basis of communication." Catherine urged them to believe in God. She was a practical discipline to poverty and the necessity for spiritual moderation.]]> 2021-09-28 16:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775191556 pg 83 jaclynblanco https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775194426  Rene Voillaume  quoted "It is a declaration wherein the personality of the observer counts more than the strategy utilized"
McAuley said she moves toward every individual who on her diverts a portion of her infectious pleasantness and has another level of affection toward our God. 
Catherine had just however just a single obligation to perform to cherish God and to send that care to other people. As it say one cross to meet his cross to pleasure insight.
This is saying that we must be confident as Catherine McAuley was at the Catholic church and to God. Additionally, Jesus said to set a plan for us that we should seek after him  for the remainder of one's life. Catherine was so aware of the obligations of living the Gospel that she inspire to the sisters. 
The Gospel that McAuley model to the sisters implies that we as people creatures need to attempt to be god to our enemy. since, in such a case that the Divine Mercy would come in earth he will not be humiliated of ourselves as we did our best in all occasions.]]> 2021-09-28 16:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775194426 pg 86 kaylieribas https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775196885 Catherine's warning referred that prayer, more than any other gift must come from god. As a result, we must continuously beseech it with great humility and unwavering patience. Her devotion to Christ's passion led her to regard the mass as the ultimate expression of divine love. And Catherine McAuley's spirituality was her loyalty to love Jesus. She urged her sisters to learn to play the tabernacle in the same way she did. To pray the third section of the rosary was a way to show love to the blessed lady.]]> 2021-09-28 16:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775196885 pg 87 kaylieribas https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775197616 Catherine's vision and her life were her way to express her love to god. She was well mindful that the greatest human is the need for God, and she was likewise persuaded that the sister of mercy's main apostolic role was to depict Christ. And for this same reason, Catherine's main purpose was to be a source of compassion, mercy, and joy for those to whom she ministered. Catherine's reality drove her to help those in need of all kinds. She also believed that doing acts of kindness would bring her closer to God. She became the Lumen Christi by shining a light into the darkness of ignorance that surrounded the lives of the impoverished in her day.]]> 2021-09-28 16:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775197616 pg 88 kaylieribas https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775198205 A person engaged in poverty could not help but be humble and follow the beatitudes' ethos. Therefore, Catherine McAuley is, without a doubt, a beatitude Christian. Which putting on Christ means being compassionate, patient, industrious, and humble, all of which Catherine has. She felt that the words "me" and "my" should be removed from religious discourse. She was cautious to stress that humility does not exist in words but in actions and that it should be achieved through prayers. She said that individuals with modest spirits receive unique blessings from God.]]> 2021-09-28 16:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775198205 pg 89 kaylieribas https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775198687 According to St. Paul, if people's manners were as excellent as their hearts, it would increase the worth of their acts. Only at Archbishop Murray's request did she take on the title of mother superior, and she wanted to be called as mother Catherine rather than the reverend mother.

Catherine McAuley is a true religious leader who faithfully upholds her principles of tolerance and tranquility.It's crucial to remember that there is only one Christ who is everywhere, is everything, and is on everything. God, who is at work in all of creation and whose inspiration all must stay open, just as Catherine McAuley was, speaks to men's hearts. In a letter dated February 1841, she stated that people must do good today and better tomorrow, that we must work hard so that we can walk towards the heavenly house to which we are all journeying.]]> 2021-09-28 16:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775206908 pg 97 rocielycanul https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775207552 In her approach to catherin religious life, she never lost sight of the fact that the visible apostolate of the sister of mercy was not practical ministry obligations, but a witness to the ideal of consecration. She claimed that living in Jesus Christ through holy remembrance in order to draw others to his love and service had been an unbroken practice in her life.Her continual witness to the Lord's gladness was that every sister of mercy should be cheerful and have faith in what they were doing, because God's will is that everyone who undertakes his service should be joyful and will be rewarded.Catherine Mcauley possessed a number of characteristics, including an unwavering faith in God, which enabled her to be more attuned to him. She was able to have courage and convey love to others via charity with the grace of God. She possessed a number of characteristics, including patience, playfulness, compassion, and, most importantly, efficiency. She never gave up and always looked forward.Catherine McAuley's life circumstances were promising to give her legacy of kindness to her sisters, and she could justify having made the words of Paul to Timothy her own. You know what I have taught, how I have lived, what I have aime at, you must keep what you have been taught and know to be true, this is how the man who is dedicated to God gets completely equipped and prepared for any excellent work (2 tim 4:7-8).]]> 2021-09-28 16:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775207552 pg 98 rocielycanul https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775208053 Catherine Mcauley's charism, with which she charmed the ireland and english stages of her day, was in fact a multidimensional interpretation of the gospel message of mercy: the hesd, whose basic meaning is love, kindness, and faithfulness. St. Thomas Aquinas classified charisms as free graces and divided them into four categories. Catherine McAuley was blessed with a unique charism that sprang from her deep Christian background. She embodied St.principles, Paul's and there is a clear link between her answer to an encouraging task and the words found in the first letter.Catherine was a servant to others, but her first duty was to serve God, whom she adored. She claimed that only those who trust in God are safe. God taught her about love by demonstrating it to her. It was love that sent her into the Coolock villagers, the Middle Abbey Street poor school, the Dublin slums, and the protestant-run hospitals: it was love that enabled her to found a house of promises — in Baggot street and multiply the foundation fourteen times in a decade, or, more accurately, in the space of six years racking up from her first branch convent at Kingston in 1835.]]> 2021-09-28 16:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775208053 pg 99 rocielycanul https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775208572 Catherine's love inspires her to do amazing things. For example, in the protestant environment in which she spent her early years, love served as a catalyst. Love made her a wonderful person since she only saw the good in others and didn't condemn them. It demonstrated her regard for others, her compassion, her playfullness, and her conversational ability to adapt to various levels without being condescending or phony.She regarded Christ as a key person in history who embodied Mercy and Charity. She inquired as to what benefit his philanthropy would be to us if his mercy had not come to our help. Catherine Mcauley was a kind person, which is why John Henry Newman praised her for "such great self-command, so crucified in the flesh, so meek, so gentle, tender-hearted, so forgetful of hurts," and many others praised her. Catherine Mcauley was one of God's chosen ones, given with a unique purpose.]]> 2021-09-28 16:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775208572 pg 100 rocielycanul https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775209029 Catherine both an educator and social worker was given a special mission where she endured a rushed and untiring journey and has done more than any women in history. rev. E. A. Ryan SJ renowned McAuley stating that her work rank was on par with monks and Irish heroes of fidelity and in an universal perspective she ranks with St. benedict and St Basil and all these patron saints. The Sisters of Mercy is one of the most effective groups that hasn't been unsurpassed. Every saint has a virtue that shows something about Jesus and Catherine's was Love.
Archbishop Ryan mentioned that the congregation of the sisters will be helped in renewing their inspirations and spirituality and to recognize the truths and beliefs of the foundress. 
Her achievements are evident enough of how strong her faith was and quality of charity and and the principles that guided her decisions and all in a short period of 14 years.]]> 2021-09-28 16:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775209029 92 shaliniflores https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1775216842 Catherine McAuley's legacy is particularly renowned for her accessibility and sensitivity to others' needs. “It is not a disposition to bestow gifts like benevolent people in the world that bespeaks generosity of mind for the religious state,” she explained. “ it is bestowing ourselves most fully and relying with unhesitating confidence on the providence of God”.On the eve of the Wexford Foundation, Catherine McAuley encouraged Sister M. Francis Warde in one of her November 1840 letters to be “ ready to waste some time with visitors and introduce its sisters.” Catherine McAuley was willing to listen to the cries of the oppressed. Her time was spent with the visitors. She was sensitive, like Jesus was, to a large number of hungry people. Catherine's willingness to face cold and hunger in order to aid the needy, as well as her refusal to be curious about people's lives in order to provide charity.

Her focus was on communal living, compassion, the significance of leading by example, the importance of deep personal prayer, charity, faithfulness, and loyalty. Catherine McAuely's spiritual talents were encapsulated in this maxim: her emphasis on attachment, the love that was the key to her complete forgetting of self for Christ and his service. "Love must exist before it can be exercised," Catherine Stated . As a result, she was realistic in her view of love, emphasizing that Christ did not rest content with empty promises of love but demonstrated it efficiently, even to death on the cross.
“Let charity then be our badge of honor, our highest glory that they're being us but one heart and one sold in God... the one mind, one mode of acting on thinking having ..... having His glory and our my satisfaction ever in view”

It was important to avoid coldness, constraint, and hate. When we're tempted to treat a sister harshly, we should ask ourselves, "Would she be able to persevere in faith if the others treated her like I do?". No, it would be unbearably painful for human nature to bear. We must be nice and kind, as well as pleasant and courteous, in our dealings with one another. Grace must rule our demeanor. The kind word, the gently sympathetic glance, and the patient listening to sufferings in the family and in the broader sphere of existence were all treasured by McAuley.Because "acts of charity performed elsewhere don't have any merit before God until a firm foundation of this virtue is established reception," the alley angel and also the domestic devil don't have any place on Baggot Street. She involves the conclusion that philanthropy must be enjoyable. "Something more," the author continues, "that replaces, enriches, and energizes." "Expel any harshness, hostility, and restriction from your hearts," she continues, "because despising our Sisters in our hearts and souls is not enough." We must all have a positive, welcoming attitude and demonstrate it via our words, actions, and demeanor. Remember, even if there are a thousand laws to obey, the most essential rule is to be kind. Can we place any restrictions on our love for one another if our almighty Lord invites us to love as He did?The sisters' love and togetherness, which paralleled Christ's relationship with the Father, served as verse and responsory to Catherine's theme song.

Her darkest days was from the time of her fathers death in 1783, These hidden years on dependence on God and as a loner was where Catherine formed her faith, prayer and mind even if She was an outsider being in an anti catholic environment. Forming her life in this pattern , she told her sisters that we should also be reminded of him as we collect all sorrows and crosses ,burdens that we carry. 
She gave her life to the Lord in the act of becoming a nun also surrendering everything her attitude towards deaths such as Sister M. Elizabeth Harley, along with hopes and fears. 
This is the obedience and a duty that all nuns must abide.

Just as Jesus obeyed his father was granted to be in union with God; Catherine does for the lord. She believed that God was the Centre of the universe and all the things we most do must come from that Centre to keep us in harmony with the Lord.
Faith, McAuley travelled in different paths some which may no be of her own choosing but she went through trusting in the guardianship of God. Her understanding of the Gospel's interpretations of mercy blended the devotedness of prayer to the apostolate leaders. She loved God above all things, the kingdom and justice was what she seeked as she grew. " We are all called to imitate Christ in his sanctity" she said to her novices and also recommended to them the Eucharist, The sacred Heart, The passion and the Mother of God under the title of Mercy"
Her Favorite advice was " Let us often fly to the foot of the cross and repose in the arms of Jesus" along with her sacred devotion to the Sacred Heart" Fount of all grace and sweetest object of our love"]]> 2021-09-29 16:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1778642991 Reflection jaclynblanco https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1779720358 2021-09-30 00:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1779720358 jaclynblanco https://padlet.com/jaclynblanco/a01q284f5luj07k3/wish/1779742036 Summary  /40 pts
