SAINT KATHARINE DREXEL (1858-1955) March 3

Born into Philadelphia society, Katharine was an infant when she lost her mother. Her father remarried and the couple taught their daughters that their wealth was a “gi on loan” to be shared with the poor, whom they fed and cared for in their home. Invited by priest friends to witness firsthand the des tu on on Na ve American reser-va ons, Katharine resolved to devote her inher-itance to this apostolate and enter a contempla ve order. When, however, in private audience, she begged Leo XIII to send missionaries to staff the schools she was building, the pope replied, “My child, why not become a missionary yourself?”

Katharine renounced a twenty-million-dollar fortune and founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, adoring Christ present in the Eucharist and ministering to Christ suffering in vic-

ms of racial discrimina on. Her Sisters estab-lished over sixty schools na onwide, including Xa-vier University, New Orleans, the first dedicated to professional educa on for African Americans. In 2000, John Paul II canonized “Mother Drexel,” praising her “excellent example of prac cal charity and generous solidarity with the less fortunate, long the dis nguishing mark of American Catho-lics.”

FAMILY PERSPECTIVES

Jesus faced real tempta ons in the desert and he had to make some hard choices. During these weeks of Lent, look at the choices that are facing you. Pray, weigh the ac ons and ask, “What will be life-giving to me and my family?” Be open to a new direc on from the Lord for “not by bread alone shall you live but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.”
