Eileen O'connor - a Saintly Inspiration by PDF Summary

Book Description: In transcending her own dreadful physical suffering that resulted from a childhood injury, Eileen O'Connor discovered a vocation to help the sick poor. With this mission she co-founded Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, a religious order of Catholic sisters, in 1913. Hers is a story of empowerment, personal struggle, and a love of humanity. Today we would call her a feminist. Through her story we catch deep glances into moments of Australian history, the role of women in society, workings of the Catholic Church, but above all we find a saintly inspiration. Eileen O'Connor inspired others to join in her work, and to develop their spirituality. A series of meditations, reminiscences and reflections on that work and spirituality together with biographical information makes up the majority of this book. This revised edition marks an important step in the cause to admit Eileen O'Connor into the Catholic Church's canon list of saints. Supporters of Eileen O'Connor's cause provide insights into her character and spirituality, and list thirteen reasons for her beatification. Bishop David Walker explains the unique features of Eileen O'Connor's spirituality. Reminiscences and reflections from long personal interviews with the Sisters or people who knew or have been inspired by Eileen O'Connor are featured. A selection of her letters captures the minutiae of Eileen O'Connor's daily life, illustrating her eye for detail and her understanding of the psychology of people and their needs. Eileen O'Connor wrote meditations on topics suggested by the young women who formed her group. After prayers and before retiring for the evening, they would reflect and ask her to prepare a mediation on a topic. During her sleepless and painful nights, Eileen O'Connor would write down her thoughts as a guide to her charges. A selection of three, from the many she wrote is included. Eileen O'Connor's eight rules reveal the depth and nature of her spirituality first hand. In bringing together the details of her life, her works and thoughts, and the inspiration she engendered, this book presents a biography of Eileen O'Connor.
