POOR SERVANTS OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

Thought for the Day

The day before we went to Clongowes, we asked Mother to get a Holy Souls Box for Clongowes. Mother said: “If someone will come in before night and put into the Poor Box the very sum the box will cost, I will.” A lady came before night, and put into the Poor Box the very sum the other box would cost.  It was a very strange thing to happen. Mother’s devotion to the Holy Souls increased after that, and she brought a Holy Soul’s Box to Clongowes. 

Memories of Early Days, circa 1872

Thank God for the faith of Mother, and ask her to help us to realise how very near our departed ones are to us. They are always encouraging us to be faithful to the very end.
