Mary MacKillop- A woman of compassion

A Woman of Compassion

Mary MacKillop was a big-hearted woman full of love and compassion.  She wrote a letter to Sr Josephine McMullen telling her ‘to be kind to the poor foreigners’.

Mary wrote to the Sisters in isolated places telling them to have their Religion classes at 12 noon so that the children who had long distances to travel to school would not miss out on their Religion class.

Once a poor lady was sitting in the gutter ill. Sister Mary’s companion thought she was drunk but Mary MacKillop sat down with the woman and realised that she needed help as she was ill. She helped the woman to the chemist shop where she could get assistance for her.
