Mother in order to be able to form herself more and more according to her spirit and to study her virtuous life.” With these words, Mother Liboria Hansknecht, the then Superior General and second successor to this office after Mother Mary, began her letter to all the Sisters in 1940. She required all the older Sisters who had known Mother Mary personally to write down their memories of her. Over the years, the number of sisters who had had personal contact with Mother Mary and could pass on first- hand knowledge to their fellow-sisters had decreased. We have such reports available to us from 69 Sisters. Their memories are retained in this volume, shortened just a little where there was clear repetition. Sometimes, even these repeti- tions have been left when a different formulation or context shed further light on the character of Mother Mary. Repetitions mentioned by several individual Sisters have always been retained since they indicate that several, or many, experienced Mary of the Apostles in this way and had not forgotten it even more than 30 years after her death. The second section holds further memories that were requested from other persons. The responses to the questionnaire distributed at the start of the Beatification Process have not been included here. The reports of the Sisters demonstrate much love and veneration for this woman who was humanly and spiritually strong and ready for sacrifice. Her simplicity and warm-heartedness surprised the candidates, some of whom were very young, when they came to Rome from afar into another world. Many mention her “motherly embrace” and how she straightaway called these girls or young women ‘Sister’ and how they felt welcome and at home. She was too old and not healthy enough to go to the missions herself, but the formation of the future missionaries was entrusted to her – always in the spirit of Father Jordan. She said: “I want strong, self- sacrificing Sisters who can suffer something. Those who are over- sensitive and those who think only of themselves are not suitable for the apostolic work to which we are called.” (p. 110) In her eyes, only holy persons open to the spirit of God and not afraid of the Cross and suffering could really work apostolically. One Sister viii quoted her words: “Strive to become holy so that you are fit to go to the missions.” (p. 225) Only from this standpoint and keeping in mind the totally different time in which she and her sisters lived, can we understand her methods of training. In families, schools and convents, the methods used were very different from those of today. Even though she could be very strict in correcting and this – as she was convinced – de- rived from her responsibility, we find it emphasised throughout that she could forgive very quickly and never held anything against anyone. “She was always kind toward everyone. Even the newest novice could go to her at any time and she would receive a friendly welcome.” (p. 90) In the memories of the sisters found in this volume, we are also confronted with practices of penance that make, to some extent, an unfavourable impression on us today. They were, however, taken very seriously at that time and practised as acts of virtue. We see how Christian spirituality – like everything human – finds itself in a process of growth and strives to lead toward an ever deeper knowledge of God, without overlooking the danger of exaggeration and of unhealthy practices of penance. In her educative methodology, Mother Mary was a woman of her times – and yet, she was not! When reading, it is worth taking the trouble to note where she brushes aside the convent rule and just through this reveals her human and spiritual greatness. To her, observance of the religious rule meant living her vocation and holding fast to the spirit of the Founder but she clearly gave priority to humaneness and love. The sisters experienced as exemplary the way in which she herself strove to grow in the spiritual life and in union with God, seriously and in humility. Many of the sisters, when writing their reports, expressed the wish that the Beatification of Mother Mary would be soon. On October 13, 1968, we were able to experience this event. Blessed Mary of the Apostles can and will be an example and intercessor for us today in living our apostolic vocation – for the glory of God. Rome, July 22, 2006 “Study Group Mary of the Apostles” S. Helene Wecker ix Technical remarks In those early days, the sisters’ names were frequently spelled in different ways. The name headings given in this volume are in accord with the spellings used in the General Directory of the Salvatorian Sisters. Signatures have been left as they stand in the original reports. The originals of all photographs can be found in the Archive ASDS, apart from those of Father Jordan and Father Lüthen which are in the Postulation Archive of the Society (APS). Some photos of the Sisters are Jubilee photos (gold or silver wreaths on their heads). The biographical dates of the Sisters are given in detail only up to the death of Mother Mary, that is, for the period in which the Sisters were in contact with her. If the date on the report or letter of an individual sister is enclosed in square brackets, it is not the date of the Sister’s report but it is taken from the ‘Witness Confirmation”. There is no date given on some reports. Many sisters have left us several reports. In each case, one of them was chosen for inclusion in its entirety. Whatever was included in the other reports that is special to them and is not a direct repetition has been added to the chosen report in an appropriate place or as a supplement. The insertions are noted. We should also mention that the Sisters’ way of writing has been retained in essence but small adjustments have been made so that the content is readable and understandable. Over time, several sisters had become unaccustomed to using the German language and found difficulty with the formulation. A sister might sometimes use different styles within her various reports. Sometimes, another sister helped with the writing. In order not to disturb the flow of reading, only the most necessary footnotes have been given. Abbreviations have, for the most part, been written out in full. Whatever is enclosed in square brackets has been added to the text, all other texts in brackets are in the original report of the sisters.

  • Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Jamila Jamison Sinlao Committee in charge: Professor Denise Bielby, Chair Professor Jon Cruz Professor Simonetta Falasca-Zamponi Professor John Mohr December 2018 The dissertation of Jamila Jamison Sinlao is approved. Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

  • Women of the Book: the Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women
    Wom en of the Book: The Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women Women of the Book: The Spiritual Lives of Early Modern Women We offer a collection of 650 books, pamphlets, broadsides, and manuscripts focused mainly on the intersections between convent culture and print. The vast majority of the items (90%) date to the 17th and 18th centuries, when this relationship was at its most fertile. As the collection reveals, convents provided important centers of reading, instruction, and writing for women in Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland. The rapid spread of female monastic orders (the Poor Clares, Ursulines, Discalced Carmelites, Visitadines, and so on) is re- flected well in the translations and adaptations of biographies of notable nuns. Gathering together a statistically significant num- ber of such biographies, we can perhaps begin to address broad questions of who was writing them, why they were written, and who was supposed to read them (reflected in the large number of ownership inscriptions found on these books). The approxi- mately 350 biographies also invite analysis of common themes in the lives of ‘venerable’ women: age of first religious experience; age at marriage or refusal of marriage; medical afflictions; death of children; and overall lifespan (an astonishing number did not reach the age of 30). Beyond biographies, we have focused on conduct-books for nuns, rules and regulations of convents, spiritual texts written by laywomen, ephemera produced to commemorate nuns and their professions of faith, and even on the legal difficulties faced by convents. The present prospectus offers a brief overview of dif- ferent aspects of this collection.

  • The Meaning of the Evangelical Counsels
    15/6: The individual and the community - Morning As we have observed, Angela’s idea of experience of the sacred does not give particular significance to institutional aspects. In connection with this characteristic of Angela’s spirituality, we find one of the most interesting aspects of her Company, the respect and consideration for the individual. Angela “invented” a form of consecration, which has at its centre the individual and her humanity. As we will see this does not mean that Angela does not consider important the collective aspect of the Company. Angela’s idea was rooted in two main historical grounds. One we have already seen, the exclusion of women from the powerful and institutional aspects of religion, the other has to do with the centrality of interiority and humanity in the making of the Western concept of the self. Introduction to the concept of the Self The perception that societies have of the “self ” changes through history, and, like the concept of “time”, is a key concept for understanding a culture. The first category that defines the self is the relationship between the individual and the community: do we see ourselves as unique individuals or more like a part of a collective identity? Another aspect concerning the self is the perception of the relationship between the interior and exterior self: how is it viewed the relationship between what we do/say and how we think and feel? Today we are more aware than ever of the complexity of our inner world, which has been enriched by the discovery of the unconscious, which makes the correspondence between interiority and exteriority even more complicated.

  • Juana, S.J. : the Past (And Future?) Status of Women in the Society of Jesus
    JESUITS Juana, S.J.: The Past (and Future?) Status of Women in the Society of Jesus Lisa Fullam 31/5 • NOVEMBER 1999 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinc the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and prac- tice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALIT JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican IPs recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR William A. Barry, S.J., directs the tertianship program and is a writer at Cam- pion Renewal Center, Weston, MA (1999). Richard A. Blake, S.J., teaches film studies at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA (1998). Philip J. Chmielewski, S.J., teaches religious social ethics at Loyola University, Chicago, IL (1998). Richard J.
