Known in many places around the globe as Armistice Day, marking the end of the World War 1, November 11 is better remembered in our circles of Mercy as the anniversary of Catherine McAuley’s death in 1841, just 10 years after she founded the Sisters of Mercy.

…Do we honour Catherine best by recalling the past, or by setting our gaze on what lies ahead? Is mission best served by our remembering her story, or by looking to the future?
