England at the time had put in place strict penal laws, which restricted catholic children in Ireland from going to school and being educated. With Nano being born to a longstanding wealthy Catholic family, meant Nano was not able to go to school in Ireland to be educated. As a result, Nano’s parents Garret and Ann Matthew Nagle sent Nano and her sister Anne to France to be educated. 

At the age of 28 Nano returned to Ireland with her sister Anne after her father's death, to help support her mother; who died soon after. Shortly later, Nano went back to Ireland To become a sister after  reflection and prayer in Ireland.  With her thoughts often returning to the children of the poor especially the catholic ones who weren't able to go to school and be educated, Nano returned back to her homeland at 32, renting a cabin in Cork. Nano gathered secretly children and educated them in math through to reading and writing. After school Nano would go to visit the sick and unhealthy giving them comfort, medicine and food. Nano would often be seen making visits late into the night carrying a lamp, leading to the name Lady of the Lantern.

Nano then went on to open convent for women where they could live in the footsteps of Jesus, through prayer, teaching and caring for the poor. Nano Also went on to open 7 school before dying at the age of 65 in 1784. ]]> 2019-05-30 23:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/22culeg/e7durb6zg3no/wish/364778696 22culeg https://padlet.com/22culeg/e7durb6zg3no/wish/364781710 The Parable of the good Samaritan is found in Luke 10:25-37. It tells of Jesus teaching a parable to one the experts in law who wanted to know who was his neighbor. The characters within the story was the traveler who was walking down a path and was robbed and badly injured by thieves. Later on a levite and a priest walk down the path and saw the injured traveler but both kept on walking past him. The Samaritan later walked down the path and noticed the badly injured man on the side of the road but instead of walking past like the others the Samaritan cleaned the travelers wounds and took him to a inn. This story was set around the time of Jesus near Jerusalem and Jericho, at the time Samaritans were despised by the Jews 
This story meaning of it today is one to be kind and help people in need no matter where they came from or who they are. 
Nano Nagle was a great example of the good Samaritan as she helped all the kids that she could and didn't think of herself and that she could get in trouble.

you raise up people from age to age
to speak anew your words to us 
and to show your ways. 
Such is Nano Nagle. 
In days when courage is needed, 
You give us this woman of strength
To walk before us with conviction.
In days of great change, you present us with a prophet whose faith is firm.   
As the light of her lantern brought hope 
into the lives made wretched by poverty and oppression, So may she inspire us to compassionate action 
for those in need around us . 

These prayers reflect the significance of her work, helping children and women, this is as she courage and the strength to do what needed to be done. ]]> 2019-06-13 04:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/22culeg/e7durb6zg3no/wish/367322511 22culeg https://padlet.com/22culeg/e7durb6zg3no/wish/367323852 O God, 
You implanted in the heart of 
Nano Nagle a strong trust in
your fatherly care, 
a spirit of detachment from 
earthly possessions, 
and a selfless giving in love to
the work of the apostolate.
Pour into our hearts these same gifts, 
that we may be totally committed to you,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
