"Mychild,willyeu workfortheconversion ofEngland?"

"HolyFather,for nearlyfortyyearshave donenothingelse."

Suchwasthereplygiven toHisHolinessPopeLeo XIII,byMotherMaryofthe HeartofJesus,neeEuphrasieBarbier,duringan audiencewhichshehadwith theHolyFatherin1888. Frenchbybirth,anda memberofaCongregation establishedatCuvesfor Missionarywork,Euphrasie Barbier,thenknownas SisterMarie,althoughonly twenty-twoyearsofageat thetime,wassentwitha companionin1851tomake afoundationinLondon. Thiswasanenterprisenot unattendedbyriskand danger,foratthattimesectarianbitternesswasatits heightinEngland.AntiCatholicmeetingsandprocessionswereorganisedand invariouspublicationsreligiousweretheobjectof ridicule,sothattheSisters werecompelledtowearseculardresstoconcealtheir identity.

WORKINLONDON

ThusitwastoAhostile LondonthatthetwoFrench Sisterscame. However, conditionsslowlyimproved. andthefollowingyearthey werejoinedbytheremainderoftheCuvesCommunity.ThehouseinFrance wasclosedandthename oftheCongregationchanged. Theynowbecameknownas SistersofCompassion.Eventually,theSistersplucked upcouragetoappearintheir habitinpublic-thefirstreligioustodososincethe Reformation.Itisrelated:

"Ontheirfirstappearancethedriverofa crowdedomnibusstoppedthevehicletogaze atsuchanunwonted sight,whiletheoutside passengersstoodand cheered the Sisters loudly.Asonedearold Sisterusedtosayinher quaintEnglish:'Some didjeerandsomedid cheer,butwhetherthey, didjeerorcheeritmatterednot,forwecould notunderstand.'"

Itwasadifficulttimefor theSisterswholivedinextremepoverty.AttherequestoftheOratorianFatherstheytookoverthemanagementofa"ragged school"-thetermusedin thosedaysforaschoolin theslumarea-inRose Street,andlaterinDtume's Passage,wherenearlyone thousandboysandgirls wereunderthecareofthe Fathers.Theundertaking wasanextremelydifficult oneandseemedwell-nigh impossible.

NorwastheSister'swork confinedtotheschool;as timewentontheybecame moreandmoreabsorbedin theparochialactivitiesof theOratory,forweread howtheyundertookworkroomsforgirlsanddirected nightschoolsforthosechildrenwhoduringtheday wereoccupiedinsweeping thestreetsandinselling flowers,fruitandcress.As onemightexpect,theSi.terninfluencefoundits wayintothehomesoftheir pupils.

Inadditiontotheseapostolicworks,theSistersstudiedfortheEnglishTeachers'Certificatequalifying forthisattheTrainingCollegeconductedbytheSis-

tersofNotreDameatLiverpool.

1861ANEWCONGREGATION

However,theCongregation hadbecomesoengrossedin theworksoftheOratory thatItwasdecidedtoabandontheoriginalobjectfor whichtheOrderhadbeen established-tosendsubjectstotheforeignmissioes. SisterMarie,thenFirstAssistantandNoviceMistress, couldnotforgetherspecific motiveinenteringreligious lifeandwasunabletoresignherselftothechange. Theopportunityoffollowing hervocationcameinMay. 1861,whenMaristFathers cametoEnglandinquest ofSisterstohelpwith schoolsandothergood worksintheirmissionfields ofthePacific.FatherFaber,whowasSuperiorof theOratoryatthetime,and SisterMarie'sSuperiors lookeduponthisrequestas arevelationofthedesigns ofProvidenceuponthe youngreligious,withtheresultthataformalpetition wassenttotheHolySee forachangeofobedience. Thishavingbeengranted therewasnolongeranyobstacletoSisterMarie'sdeparture,andonAugust12, withayoungEnglishPostulantascompanion,sheset outforLyons,whereonthe FeastoftheAssumptionof OurLadytheytookuptheir residenceinasmallapartmentbelongingtothe MaristFathersatNo.4 MountSt.Bartholomew.But toSisterMarie'sdisappointmentshelearnedthatasyet herambitiontogoingto theforeignmissionswas nottoberealised,sincethe GeneraloftheMaristOrder wishedhertoestablishunderhisdirectionaninstitute inwhichSisterswouldbe preparedfortheworkwhich heldsuchanattractionfor her. Thuscameintoexistence theCongregationofOur LadyoftheMissions. Beforelongseveralyoung girlscameaskingadmission, anditwasnecessaryto movetoalargerresidence, thisbeingfoundatNo.7 RueCleberg.HeretheNovitiatewascanonicallyerectedonChrismasDay,1861, andSisterMarie,henceforth knownasMotherMaryof theSacredHeartofJesus, andherEnglishcompanion, asSisterM.St.Wilfred, receivedthehabitofthe newCongregation.

FIRSTDEPARTURE FORTHEMISSIONS

By1863therewerefourteenNovicesandPostulants receivingsolidformation fromtheyoungFoundress, whowasthenonly33years ofage.

Atlength,inOctober1864, fouryoungSisters,recently professed,werereadyfor departurefoNewZealand. Theymadethevoyagein thedecrepitsailingship "WalterHood"whichmust havebeenheldtogetherbeneaththembytheprayers oftheSisters,foritfounderedandwaslostonits nestvoyage.OnFebruary 26.1865,theyarrivedat Napier,NewZealand,there toestablishthefirstmissionconventoftheCongregation.Afterbeingwarmly welcomedbyFatherForest, S.M.,ParishPriestofNapier, andhisparishioners,they tookuptheirresidencein theConventpreparedfor themonBluffHill,abeauti-

AttherequestoftheMaristFathers,MotherMary nowpreparedtosendmissionariestoSydney,Australia,threeSistersarriving thereonMarch14,1867.For variousreasons,thismission wasclosedtwoyearslater.

FIRSTGENERAL CHAPTER

Inthemeantime,the missionofNapierwasflourishingandtheneedforsimilarfoundationsinNewZealandbecameevident.Inresponsetoappealsfromthe respectiveParishPriests, houses-wereestablishedin Christchurchin1868andin Nelsonin1871.

1871-WORKRESUMED

Throughouttheseyears, MotherMaryoftheHeart ofJesushadnotlostcontactwithEngland.Each freshbandofmissionaries departingforOceaniahad firsttotraveltoLondo:t andonthispartoftheir journeytheywerealways accompaniedbytheFoundress.

M.S.,SOUTHAUSTRALIA:Iencloseanarticleentitled"Millionaire MonkScandal,"fromthe"IndianExpress,"whichclaimsthatitwas sentbya"SpecialCorrespondent"inRomenamedGeorgeLeiper.

R.:Therealscandalis thatanynewspapershould publishsuchalibellous articleandthatanypress correspondentshouldsupplysuchfalseinformation. Thecaption"Millionaire MonkScandal"is,of course,aneditorialdevice intheinterestsofsensationalism;butthematerial inthestorysentbyGeorge Leiperwasprompted eitherbysheerbigotryor crassignorance.

R.:PadrePio,ofFoggia, inItaly,hasbecomewidely knownasa"stigmatist,"that is,ashavingwoundsthat spontaneouslydevelopedin hishandsandwhichperiodicallybleed.Pilgrimsfrom allovertheworldhavegone toFoggiafortheprivilege ofseeinghimsayMass,and hespendshourshearingthe confessionsofthosewho seekhisspiritualhelpand advice,mostofwhomregard himasasaint.Buttosay thattheofferingsofgrateful visitorshavemadehimvery richissimplyalie.

EveryCatholicknowsthat theliturgicallawsofthe CatholicChurchallowonly oneMassinCatholic churchesonGoodFriday.
