    Patience is a conquering virtue. The learned say that, if it not desert you, It vanquishes what force can never reach; Why answer back at every angry speech? No, learn forbearance or, I'll tell you what, You will be taught it, whether you will or not.
    -Geoffrey Chaucer

  • As a teenager I was a member of the Children of Mary



    The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin as a young women’s association is the outcome of an express wish of Our Lady when she appeared to St Catherine Laboure in 1830 in Paris.  Our Lady told her that she wished that a Sodality for girls should be formed in honour of her Immaculate Conception.  The work was begun by Fr Aladel, a Vincentian.  Pope Pius IX officially recognised these organisations on June 20th, 1847 and they were classed as the Second Primary Congregation and the same indulgences were granted to it.

    And what exactly is the major malfunction that we don't see these numbers of vocations anymore?

    No, Emile just inspired me to search for photos on the net.

    I do have similar photos of myself, especially similar to the group photo. And the Child of Mary photo gives a good representation of what I remember. It seems that this is still practiced in SSPX and in the NO in Africa.

    As a child I was a Holy Angel, from my first Holy Communion until Child of Mary days, but I can find nothing at all on the society of the Holy Angels. Has anyone else heard of this association for young girls? 

    My Dad was in the Holy Name Society and proudly wore his badge in his lapel.
    Mum was in the Sacred Heart Sodality.
    Brothers were altar boys. Something for every one.

  • As a girl, I would see these sister walking to the next home wherethey were needed to nurse the impoverished sick and disabled.

    They are Our Lady’s Nurses of the Poor, founded by the blessed Eileen O’Connor, whose body was found to be incorrupt.
