TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Careful readers of the “Treasures” will have noticed that the two columns about the oldest monastic communities in the United States refer to the colonial states. The Louisiana Purchase gained a great treasure for our nation, the Ursuline monastery of New Orleans. Among the greatest pioneers of that city were nuns who came from France on a perilous voyage in 1727, pestered by pirates and tossed by fearsome storms. These were genteel, well-educated Ursulines, yet their first task was to roll up their sleeves and open a hospital to care for the pestilence-ridden colony. Next, they opened a school for girls and launched a plan to educate the women being shipped over from France to marry settlers. In this way, they had enormous influence in molding patterns of family and domestic life. At Christmastime in 1814, the threat of a British assault on the city was growing. On the terrifying night of January 7, 1815, the women of New Orleans gathered in the monastery chapel to pray that the city be spared from destruction in battle. The mother superior made a vow to have a Mass of Thanksgiving on that date every year should the Americans win. That night, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, to whom the nuns had great devotion, became the protector and patron of this great city. The convent in the French Quarter is the oldest standing building in the Mississippi valley, and the only surviving building of the French colonial period. The nuns relocated in 1824, but their old monastery is preserved as a museum and archives for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The school the nuns began, Ursuline Academy, is the oldest continuously operating Catholic school, and school for women, in the United States. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Paul reverses that conditional meaning to say that we 08/12/18 10:30 am TBD Our regular Altar Server forgive because God has already forgiven us. So which came first, the chicken or the egg? 08/15/18 10:30 am TBD Schedule will resume In a sense, both are needed: Jesus died on the cross 08/18/18 5:00 pm TBD in the Fall to show that God forgives sins you haven’t even 08/19/18 10:30 am TBD committed yet. We have to want to be forgiven and accept that gift from God. And we also have to be willing to forgive those who have hurt us. There are many ways to do that. Hospitality Ministers One is to forgive in your heart. If it is someone you 08/11/18 5:00 pm Mike & Donna Boyea love, you know they didn’t mean to hurt you and so you don’t get angry at them. If you don’t love the one 08/12/18 10:30 am Sally Samoya & Jean Snead who hurt you, you still need to forgive, so you can let 08/15/18 10:30 am TBD go of the hurt. (And be forgiven for not loving your neighbor!)
08/18/18 5:00 pm Barbara Stewart Paul also tells us to be kind and compassionate (Eph 08/19/18 10:30 am Barbara Brackett 4:32.)
