We have one solid comfort amidst this little tripping about, our hearts can always be in the same place, centered in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.
Spirituality & Prayer Prayer Requests
Prayers of petition, gratitude and simple presence are woven into the daily lives of the Mercy community. Catherine McAuley reminded her sisters, “Prayer is the spring of all virtues.” Today sisters, associates and companions are mindful of the helpfulness of their prayers for all and are eager to pray for others.

Sister Brigid O'Connell was recently in the Cedar Rapids area to visit family, friends and sisters during her winter break from her ministry. Brigid travels a distance for a visit as one of four sisters from the West Midwest Community who serve in a ministry overseas.
A Montessori teacher and teacher educator, Brigid lives in Lima, Peru and ministers at the McAuley Montessori Center. She has served in Peru for over 20 years, helping to establish the McAuley Montessori Center in response to an educational need for children in orphanages and poor families. The hands-on teaching approach at the Center encourages children to develop their observation and concentration skills, responsibility, order, independence, coordination and self-confidence.
