Pray With Us
Welcome to this time together as we commemorate the Feast Day of Mother Theresa.
In honor of this day, known as her Feast Day, we offer a prayer to lift our hearts and reflect on these challenging times, drawing inspiration from Mother Theresa’s spiritual wisdom.
We’re living through history-shaping events. Laudato Si’ teaches us how to build a better world–together. For Laudato Si’ Week, 16-24 May, Catholics are uniting in solidarity for a more just and sustainable future!
In Memoriam
On a trip to Ethiopia in 1965, Sister Martin met Emperor Haile Selassie, and she wrote, “I was experiencing the continent [Africa] for the first time, and it really touched me… Someday SSND would be on that continent, and I wanted to be there, too.”
By February 1995, Mona began to minister in a particular way to God’s beloved at Good Counsel Homes, “a private Catholic Agency whose mission is to help homeless, pregnant women by providing a loving, family environment in a safe and secure shelter.”
Sister Mary was an outstanding grade school teacher, using her talents primarily with children in very poor areas in Chicago. She also served as Postulant Director in the Chicago Province from 1993 to 1998. Mary’s dry wit and clever greetings gave much delight to all who lived and worked with her.
"Prayer is true heavenly food and nourishment for the soul, which will starve without it. It is a remedy for the sick who desire to recover again, joy for the afflicted, strength for the weak, medicine for sinners, delight for the just, mutual support for the entire church.”
-BLESSED THERESA GERHARDINGER
