POOR SERVANTS OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

A great cloud of witnesses

1 Sr. M. Colmana (Lizzie Barry)

(Entered 1877)

Sr. M. Colmana had a remarkable spirit of gratitude. She never tired of thanking God for her vocation, and when she became ill, although suffering intensely, she made heroic efforts to keep cheerful. She had wonderful confidence in God’s mercy, and often said she relied on this alone, as she felt she had done so little for him. Fr. Downing, S.J. said of her: “Her bright happy face lifts one to God.” She died with no regrets, no fears – all her thoughts were centered on the great mercy of God.
