Lk. 6:20 Question of the Week Adult: In what way are you serving the poor, as Jesus did? Youth: When have you helped bring God s love to Someone who was sad, or hungry, or whom others made fun of? When you look at the lives of the saints, a strange pattern emerges. The closer they drew to Christ, the more they suffered. St Rafaela Mary, Foundress of the Congregation of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart, is a prime example. She had to start the Congregation four different times before it took root. She and her sister, Dolores, started it first in their small hometown in Spain in the late 1800s. It was dissolved because of local opposition, and only a small group of 16 nuns persevered. Then the bishop who had agreed to oversee them wrote a new rule for them to follow - completely different from the original inspiration. St Rafaela and her sisters secretly fled the diocese under the protection of a benefactor. He had to hide them with some other nuns in a hospital. The benefactor agreed to go to Madrid to work things out. While he was gone, he died. For the third time, the little flock was without a shepherd. Faith and determination kept them together. Finally, a Jesuit priest heard of their predicament and helped solidify the foundation. You would think that would be enough hardship for a dedicated nun. But a few years later, a rift opened between St Raphaela and her sister Dolores. Dolores and some influential supporters deposed the Foundress, telling the other nuns that she had gone slightly insane. Then they sent her to the Order's convent in Rome, where she spent the next 30 years in charge of the housework, till the day she died, in She never permitted herself to complain. She was faithful to the rule, and filled the convent with joy. She considered herself blessed. Her hardships made her cling more closely to Christ, and her hidden sacrifices won graces from God that made her congregation flourish.
