We are happy to be able to offer it to you in the hope thereby to honor their memory as well as the deep gratitude of Saint Mary Euphrasia towards each one. We hope you will enjoy reading about these great producers and stimulators of services to the poor and suffering of the 18th-19th Centuries, and come to know a little more about the "magnificent heart" of the foundress, Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier (1796-1868). It is said she had "the heart of a mother and the soul of a saint". Each Good Shepherd Community around the world has its own roster of Benefactors and temporal Co-founders whom we would wish to honor at this point with our gratitude, in the spirit of our Foundress. There are also Volunteers, Associates, Companions, Teachers, Co-workers, who collaborate with Good Shepherd, each in his or her personal capacity and calling. To these too we wish to express, through this book, our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. Would Good Shepherd Centers be able to continue services to God's needy ones without all these generous persons? And how many popes, bishops, priests and laity have personally sustained Good Shepherd mission in the many ways possible to each one, only God knows! Saint Mary Euphrasia's gratitude did not end with her life, but continues in eternity. All those persons who have cooperated, or now cooperate in any way, in the welfare of the Congregation had and have a special place in her heart and prayer. We too, members of the Good Shepherd Congregation, hold as a sacred legacy Mary Euphrasia's oft repeated injunction to remember daily in prayer all, both living and deceased, who have done good for us 1 in any way. We have been lovingly faithful to her desire all down these many years, and we will continue to follow her teaching and impressive example! We wish you well and hope you will enjoy reading about your worthy ancestors in Good Shepherd services.! Saint Mary Euphrasia' s conference on Gratitude rightly begins by recalling the gratitude we owe to God for the sequel of miracles which brought the Good Shepherd Congregation into existence. She adds, "Because God is pleased to multiply them (miracles), we seem to grow accustomed to them".1 She reminds us, "You have a heart created to love and to be grateful, therefore let the expression of your joy and gratitude for the great grace of your vocation ascend to God. Love your vocation. Desire to have a thousand lives to offer to the Lord and return him love for love.... Great and noble thoughts are the fruits of gratitude. Its simplest definition is, "Gratitude is the memory of the heart".2 Gratitude takes three forms: a feeling in the heart, an expression in words, and giving in return. Saint Mary Euphrasia's gratitude to God was spontaneous and tender, "You are the children of miracles! Yes, the existence of our institute is a chain of miracles. To God alone is due our preservation and prosperity." Her enthusiasm mounts as St. M. Euphrasia continues to enumerate the many reasons we have to be thankful. She cannot understand indifference or failure to express our gratitude. "I cannot recall to your memory all the claims Our Lord has on our gratitude but these are so many facts which are miraculous: first of all, our existence, secondly, our approval by Rome, and thirdly, the rapid increase of our Houses. God willed the work and wished to do it Himself. We may say that in our foundation three miracles of God are visible."3 2 "Who could count the benefits the Lord has showered on us and they are continuing every day! We should thank God unceasingly. Our hearts should melt with love and gratitude to Him... How unfortunate it would be if we were not perfectly acquainted with all that concerns the congregation of which we are members!"4 "For a long time now, I myself can meditate only on the graces God has been pleased to shower on our congregation. And may we not reflect on the individual care His Paternal Goodness bestows on each one of us? A canticle of thanksgiving should resound constantly from our lips and hearts. God loves and blesses grateful hearts. Therefore let our gratitude be a hymn ascending from all our tribes for the glory of God".5 We read in Pasquier' s biography of Mary Euphrasia that she was the soul of gratitude, yet she could never show her gratitude to her own satisfaction. She felt that true gratitude is but a participation in the eternal act of thanksgiving which Christ Jesus and His Saints offer to God for all His benefits. She considered gratitude a sacred and agreeable duty. The great gratitude she felt towards the founders and benefactors of the congregation overflowed from her heart when she spoke to her sisters. Once a week when writing to Count de Neuville, a great benefactor of the institute and co-founder of the Good Shepherd with her, Mary Euphrasia considered it better to miss part of the common prayer of the Office with the sisters rather than fail in her duty of gratitude to him.6 This gives us some idea of how greatly she valued gratitude, for St Mary Euphrasia was very assiduous in her presence at the common prayers. Busy as she was by day and often by night in the early years of the foundation at Angers, Mary Euphrasia always fulfilled the duties 3 of hospitality and gratitude with exquisite delicacy. She always won the esteem of her visitors and benefactors who recognized the hand of God in her work. Every gift to her institute touched her sensitive and grateful heart. Gratitude was so natural to her that every token of kindly feeling toward her sisters or the institute moved her deeply as if done to her personally. One of her biographers, R.P. Georges, CJM, assures us that gratitude in Mary Euphrasia's "magnificent soul had become a demanding need." Like St Teresa, whom she quotes in her Conferences, gratitude was less a virtue she practiced than a natural trait or instinct in her. What happened was that as she multiplied her responses to her "natural instinct by multiplying her 'thank you's', she also multiplied generous benefactors to her charitable works".7 Among these benefactors are several of whom Mary Euphrasia happily recalled the names and unlimited generosity. We find them in her Conferences where she sings her Ode to gratitude! To these she feels the members of her congregation owe eternal gratitude. Mary Euphrasia invites her sisters, after God, the Blessed Virgin and the Church who have covered the congregation with blessings, never to forget the name of Saint John Eudes, Father and Protector. A hymn of gratitude should rise unceasingly to heaven, to thank God for having inspired him with such great zeal for the salvation of souls, for whom he founded the Order of Our Lady of Charity. St Mary Euphrasia was one of its members before founding the Good Shepherd Congregation with a central administration.8 "You will never forget that the signal favor of the erection of our generalate was granted by Pope Gregory XVI who dispatched theDecreeof its erection to us in 1835. You will ever remember that the holy Cardinal Odescalchi was then given us as our Protector at Rome, and when he entered the Society of Jesus, Cardinal 4 Delia Porta succeeded him, and after him Cardinal Patrizi.

  • Over the Mountains to Kentucky
    AMERICANS ON MISSION TOGETHER 1806-1865 CHAPTER 4 OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO KENTUCKY In 1788 John Carroll, who would be consecrated Bishop of Baltimore two years later, expressed the earliest known desire that the Dominican friars should form an American foundation of the Order. In response to Philadelphia Catholics who sought the ministry of Francis Antoninus Fleming, O.P., Carroll drafted an affirmative but cautious reply, colored by his experience with vagabond priests. At its close he wrote, "If Mr. Fleming be inclined to attempt an establishment for his order in Philadelphia, or any of the United States, they shall have every encouragement I can give as long as I retain any authority"[1] But Fleming died of yellow fever in 1793, and during his short ministry no Dominican establishment was formed. Bishop Carroll did not give up. In May, 1796, he informed John Troy, Dominican Archbishop of Dublin, his regular correspondent, that the Irish Augustinians were forming a province in Philadelphia.[2] But hearing no more on the subject, he left it in abeyance for more than five years. Then in 1802 a proposal came from a new source: the English province of the Friars Preachers; or more precisely, from a single member of that province. And Bishop Carroll, consistent in his desire for the good of the nascent American Church, turned with interest toward this new possibility. The Fenwick family coat of arms During the summer of 1788 when John Carroll expressed his idea of a Dominican establishment in the United States, an American youth in Belgium was preparing to enter the English Province of the Order of Preachers.
