Mary MacKillop – Touching our Lives

We remember Saint Mary MacKillop not only because of what she achieved more than one hundred years ago but because her life continues to speak to us today. As we face various challenges – new beginnings, endings, creative moments – we can learn from Mary’s responses to such situations in her life. This woman who managed trouble and suffering, who grew as a person by knowing and accepting her own personal strengths and weaknesses, and who trusted God through it all, is a guiding light in the twenty-first century, just as she was in the nineteenth.
