Did You Know? The Patron Saint of Work Stress is St. St. Walter of Pontoise (1030-1099) a French Abbot. He had a hard time running his Monastery according to its holy rule. In fact, his work was so stressful, he ran away and begged the Pope to relieve him of his position. But Pope Gregory VIII sent him right back to reform the Monastery instead. In retaliation, some of the more resentful monks beat and imprisoned their returning Abbot. Despite the hardships, St. Walter was eventually successful, and is now invoked by those who feel overwhelmed in the workplace.

Ascension of the Lord – May 24, 2020
GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES In 1991, Marxist guerrillas in the mountain village of
Huasahuasi, Peru, executed Irene McCormack, Josephite
sister and missionary. Her “crime” was feeding the poor
with food donated by overseas aid organizations. The
violent activities of these terrorists were a daily reality but,
despite warnings, Irene chose to stay in the village with its
impoverished people. After thirty years of teaching in
Australian schools, Sister Irene found her purpose in life
teaching the children of Huasahuasi to read and write. One
evening armed guerillas arrested her and took her to the
village plaza, where five villagers were already face-down
on the ground. The captors conducted a mock trial. Sister
Irene was denounced as a “Yankee imperialist”—even
though villagers protested that she was Australian—
pronounced guilty, then shot in the back of the head by a
girl soldier. The example of Sister Irene and the villagers
who died with her has been remarkable, resulting in an
annual human rights activities week, community clean-
ups, and at least one new Peruvian vocation to the
Josephites. Sister Irene also left something just as
important—a description of the spirit that called her to go
to Peru. Back in Australia in 1987, she explained to family
and friends the revelation she received at the age of forty.
The call to be a missionary came to her through reflection
and prayer. She described it as an overwhelming
experience of the unconditional love of God and not
simply an intellectual conviction. She recognized God
beckoning her through an inner voice. If she were to be to
be true to herself as a woman, a Christian, a Josephite, and
a world citizen, she felt she had to respond to the Spirit
within. If she did not yield, she believed that she risked
spiritual death. Copyright © 2010, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
Living Stewardship Now Pray for missionaries, especially those in areas of political
instability, terrorist activity, and natural disaster. Write to a
missionary. Contribute to a mission organization. Copyright © 2010, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
Archdiocese of Santa Fe - Sacramental Marriage
Finding Love and Life in the Divine Plan (Quotes to promote the Sacrament of Marriage)
Two virtues that are sometimes
overlooked are chastity and gratitude. Marital
chastity means that the couple’s love is total, faithful,
exclusive, and open to life. It protects a great good;
the communion of persons and the procreative
purpose of marriage.
–Marriage: Love & Life in the Divine Plan
VAYAN Y HAGAN DISCÍPULOS En 1991 las guerrillas marxistas de Huasahuasi,
pueblo de la región montañosa de Cusco en Perú,
ejecutaron a la Hna. Irene McCormack, misionera de
las Hermanas de san José del Sagrado Corazón. Su
“crimen” fue dar de comer a los pobres con alimentos
donados por organizaciones del extranjero. Las
violentas actividades de estos terroristas eran una
realidad diaria pero, a pesar de las advertencias, Irene
decidió quedarse en medio de la gente pobre de este
pueblo. Después de haber enseñado durante treinta
años en escuelas australianas, la hermana Irene
encontró el propósito de su vida enseñando a leer y
escribir a los niños de Husahuasi. Una tarde, las
guerrillas armadas la arrestaron y se la llevaron a la
plaza del pueblo, donde ya habían otros cinco
poblanos en posición boca abajo sobre la tierra. Los
que la apresaron condujeron el simulacro de un
juicio. La hermana Irene fue denunciada como una
“imperialista yanqui”, y aunque la gente del pueblo
protestó y dijo que ella era australiana, la declararon
culpable y la ejecutaron allí mismo, de una balazo en
la parte posterior de la cabeza, por una miliciana
jovencita. El ejemplo de la Hna. Irene y de las cinco
personas que murieron con ella ha tenido como
resultado cosas extraordinarias, como una semana
anual de actividades en pro de los derechos humanos,
limpieza de comunidades y al menos una vocación
peruana más para su congregación. La Hna. Irene
dejó también algo bien importante: una descripción
del espíritu que la llamó a ir a Perú. Aun en Australia
en el año 1987 le explicó a sus familiares y amigos la
revelación que ella había recibido a la edad de
cuarenta años. El llamado a ser misionera le llegó por
medio de la reflexión y la oración, lo que ella
describió como una experiencia arrolladora del amor
incondicional de Dios, y no simplemente como una
convicción intelectual. Fue para ella el llamado de
Dios por medio de una voz interior. Supo que como
mujer cristiana, como hermana misionera y como
ciudadana del mundo tenía que responder a ese
llamado del Espíritu, o de lo contrario, arriesgarse a
una muerte espiritual. Copyright © 2010, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
