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.
