TO THE SICK AND THE NEEDY TO WHOM WE ARE SENT TO SERVE "For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me . .. " Matthew 25: 35-36 Acknowledgments "How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good He has done for me? .. o Lord, I am your servant; To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving .... My vows to the Lord I will pay in the presence of all His people." Psalm 116: 12-18 I would like to take this occasion of expressing sincere gratitude to all who have contributed to the compilation and completion of this work. First, I especially thank Sister Justine, my provincial, for entrusting this task to me-indeed an honor-and for her support and guidance along every step of the way, which were not only encouraging but stimulating and inspiring. And for her precious time spent in proofreading and perfecting input for the manuscript. I am greatly indebted to my sisters in all our houses in the United States for their gracious hospitality while collecting material and for their valu­ able help in providing information; as well as for their sustained interest and prayers. Grateful acknowledgment is made for the help given and courtesy shown when I visited diocesan archives in the areas where our houses are located. A very special word of thanks is due to the secretaries in the provincial office for typing the original manuscript, to Astreed Bagdoian, pastoral services office, Bon Secours Hospital, Methuen, for her invaluable help in various ways, to Sister Julia Marie and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Glynn for help with initial proofreading of manuscript. vii viii Acknowledgments I express deep appreciation to Susan Branch Smith for her editorial assistance and to Sister Mary Vincentia, Marriottsville, for her generous help in proofreading the galleys. To my family and friends and all others who have prayed for me, and offered words of counsel and encouragement, the writer is likewise grateful. Finally, how can I sufficiently thank Rev. Gerald G. Wyrwas, Director of Pastoral Services, Bon Secours Hospital, Methuen, and Sister Mary Gemma, assistant, for giving me sufficient time from my work in their department to bring this work to completion, and my sisters in the Methuen community for their understanding, support, and prayers, and above all for putting up with my prolonged absences from community and my apparent lack of thought for them. With everyone's help and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit I persevered to the end. My thanks to one and all.

  • During Lent, There Will Be No Burger with My Fries,Video: Pilgrims Leave
    During Lent, there will be no burger with my fries By Matt Palmer [email protected] Go big or go home, right? Lent is about sacrifice and walking in the journey with Jesus. People all across the globe will start the season with Ash Wednesday Mass and try to come up with something they are giving up for 40 days. A year ago, I gave up sodas, no small feat for a guy who drinks Cherry Cokes like they’re water. This year, I’m pulling out the big gun. I’ve giving up … wait for it … hamburgers. Stop laughing. Seriously, pick yourself up off the ground and breathe. Giving up burgers is a big deal to a picky eater like myself. The way I see it, great burgers are an art form, taken for granted like a 1980s Hall and Oates song – always a reliable hit. As a reporter, I’m constantly on the run and getting a drive-thru burger is an easy fallback. As a regular guy, I look at a restaurant menu of what other people see as a display of delicious food and wonder what the hamburger tastes like. More often than not, someone says, “Like a burger.” And I respond, “Awesome. I’ll get that.” Sometimes I get an itch and just run out and a buy a burger. It’s really that bad. Of course, I like making burgers on the grill, too. It gives me that boost of feeling extra manly about my burger addiction. Lenten Fridays have always been tough for me.

In it, I asked the people of our Archdiocese to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, to be not merely His disciples but His missionary disciples, extending the light of the Gospel to others among us so that they, too, could fully welcome His Word into their hearts. The Catholic Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to aid this evangelization effort for years to come. “Through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.” Established in 1998 by my predecessor, Cardinal William H. Keeler, the Catholic Community Foundation has grown to over 470 separate funds, each with its own unique purpose and benefit. Not only are our parishes well-represented and supported by the Foundation, so too are our Catholic schools, clergy, religious and a host of ministries that are critically integral to carrying out the Church’s evangelizing work. Indeed, through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.

  • The Real Catholic Story of the Mother and Baby Homes and of the Orphanages in Ireland
    The Real Catholic Story of the Mother and Baby Homes and of the Orphanages in Ireland By An Orphan Who Grew Up In One. In 20151, 195,000 babies died from Pertussis2 or Whooping Cough around the world according to official figures of the Atlanta Centre for Disease Control. Worldwide there are 16 million cases3 each year, again according to official figures, while many are treated with simple antibiotics, many die needlessly4. That is an extraordinary fact in itself and there is evidently no cure in sight, so babies will continue to die from this one singular disease around the world and little can be done about it. Millions of other babies died in various wars, in the Workhouses of Europe from different diseases, from starvation, and neglect. We could be asking lots of historical questions about these events, but the main one would be is why, why do we allow children to die. Who is to blame for these untimely deaths, could it be the Governments of the day, the parents, the hospitals or even the nurses, or lack of 1 Centre for Disease Control Atlanta 2 Bacteria that affects the lungs-if left untreated with antibiotics will kill. 3 United Nations Statistics 2016 4 Lack of the very essentials and clean water 1 | Page medicines or Catholic religious sisters, or even poverty and ignorance or is it that nobody universally had been found yet to pin the unavoidable deaths of these poor children onto, to blame in other words.

  • Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review Sponsor 108-Mile Walking Pilgrimage to Philadelphia and Papal Mass
    Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review Sponsor 108-Mile Walking Pilgrimage to Philadelphia and Papal Mass A priest of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the managing editor of the official newspaper of the Archdiocese, The Catholic Review, will lead a 20-person Pilgrimage of Love and Mercy, a 108-mile walk from Baltimore to Philadelphia. They will honor Pope Francis’ first visit to the United States and raise funds for both the archdiocese and nations in the developing world. Father John J. Lombardi, pastor of St. Peter in Hancock and St. Patrick in Little Orleans, and Paul McMullen, managing editor of the Catholic Review and CatholicReview.org, will lead a group who range in age from 14 to 69. They will depart the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore after 10:45 a.m. Mass Sept. 20, and seven days later join an estimated 1 million Sept. 27 along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, site of the only public Mass to be celebrated by Pope Francis in the U.S. The walking pilgrimage is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore and Catholic Review, which also organized same-day bus and train transportation to the Sept. 27 Mass in Philadelphia. The walking pilgrimage includes a shoe drive, “Feet for Francis,” which will benefit both the Archdiocese of Baltimore and nations such as Benin, Haiti and Pakistan. Walking 16 miles most days, pilgrims will rely on the support of parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions. “Remember, our Lord walked to all of his appointments,” Father Lombardi told the Catholic Review.
