LORETO ABBEY, MARY'S MOUNT, BALLARAT, VICTORIA (See Photo P. 5) LORETO MAISIE WARD'S INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN LIFE OF MARY WARD (Foundress of the I.B.V.M.) * At the first World Congress of the Lay Apostolate from Paul V in 1612 ; so, three year s l a ter, did the our late Holy Father, Pius XII, offered Mary Ward new order of Notre Dame. \Vhen St. Francis d e as a model for the activity of Catholic women Sales, an eminent Bishop, sought to establish for the throughout the Church. He called her " that incom Visitation a Rule with much modified enclosure, h e parable woman given by Catholic England to the found so deep-rooted an opposi tion that h e gave up Church in the darkest and most blood-stained of the idea. St. Vincent de Paul found that, since en periods." c losure was literally impossible for his sisters, whose chief work was nursing the sick poor in their own Again in the second World Cong1·ess he returned homes, the only alternative was to give up the claim to the them e of lay apostles, women as well as m en. to be a r eligious order at a 11. "There has always been" he said "an apostolate of the laity in the Church of Christ. Saints like H enry Almost as difficult was the question of government. II, Stephen the creator of Catholic Hungary, Louis Back in the first centuries of r eligious life we find IX of France, were lay apostles albeit at first their that in the E ast a struggle be tween the bishops and world was unaware of it and the term lay apostle the (often unruly) m onks anrl h ermits who p eopled did not exist at the time. \Vomen too, like St. the deserts of E gypt and Syria. A little later in the Pulcheria, sister of the Emperor Theodore II or W est, St. Gregory the Gr eat, himself a monk and Mary Ward wer e lay apostles." sympathetic with m onastic autonom y, carefully de ]imited an authority of bishop and abbot. As for Mother Mary Oliver gives us in this book an ex women , while for m an y years in Church history we citing story set in cruel but stiuing times. A Loreto find ahbesses with as much author ity as abbots-in mm, h erself in Sydney Australia, she is one of Mary deed St. Brigid of Ireland, St. Hilda of Whitby, St. Ward's large and scattered family, and can write of Bridget of Sweden ruled m en as well as w om en her Mother with contagious enthusiasm. I attempt such a thing would have heen unthinkable in the this Introduction with great diffidence.
