Nothing can hinder from doing God's work
Mary also suffered from poor health during her days. She wrote entries on her journal about her condition, yet it does not hinder her from doing God's work.

A heart for children
Mary had a special place in her heart for children, especially the sick, the lonely and suffering.
She became the voice of God's love as she responded to those in need.
Once a poor lady was sitting in the gutter and very ill. Sister Mary's companion thought that the lady was just drunk. Sister Mary sat with the woman and realized that she needed help. She brought the woman to a chemist shop where she was assisted.

May God bless you all...
The Mary MacKillop rose was cultivated by Swane Nursery in 1985 when the Sisters of St. Joseph approached them for hybrid tea rose with shell-pink blooms and rose pink outer petals. It has a strong fragrance that symbolize St. Mary MacKillop's contribution to the works of God.

Do not say in heat what you may bitterly regret later
Watch your words... Use more of your mind... Wounds may heal but a scar will be left behind...

Truly our Great God will be gratified by the love and zeal of many
It's but true that God is gratified by the zealous love of His people...
