Catherine McAuley

Catherine McAuley is the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. Learn more about her story.

Recently, using YouTube, a web video entitled Images of Catherine was posted. You are invited to view that show. 

No actual photograph of Catherine McAuley exists. Soon after her death there was a rendering of her. Down through time artists and sculptors have used their gifts to portray this remarkable woman. The slide show here shows some of those renderings.

Pray Catherine McAuley's prayer, the Suscipe

My God, I am thine for all eternity; teach
me to cast my whole self into the arms
of Thy Providence with the most lively
unlimited confidence in Thy
compassionate, tender pity.
"Grant, O most Merciful Redeemer, that
whatever Thou dost ordain or permit may
always be acceptable to me;
take from my heart all painful anxiety,
suffer nothing to afflict me, but sin;
nothing to delight me, but the hope of
coming to the possession of Thee, my
God, in Thy own everlasting Kingdom.
Amen."
