Today is Foundation Day, the day the Sisters of Mercy remember our beginnings. This quote from Catherine is so appropriate for this day:
My God I am yours for time and eternity.
We know this line as the first line of Catherine's Suscipe, a prayer of commitment and giving of oneself to God totally.
Today all over the world this prayer will be said and sung. It is in the hearts of all Sisters of Mercy and hopefully in your heart, too. "My God, I am yours for time and eternity..."
May this day be a day you commit yourself to God, totally.
It is also the feast of our Lady of Guadalupe. Millions of men women and children honor Mary as the patron of the poor and oppressed. So fitting these two feast are today since they fit together so well. Catherine's love for the poor and Mary's appearance to the poor native, Juan Diego in Mexico bridging the continents.
Today may you give yourself entirely to the Lord and serve God through an action to alleviate the needs of the poor in some way.
