Excerpt from The Sisters of the I. H. M: The Story of the Founding of the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Their Work in the Scranton Diocese We Catholics are sometimes too modest in narrating the glorious deeds of our forefathers and foremothers in the Faith and yet our divine Lord Himself has said to us: So let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. And so while the author thought upon the days of old, she had in her mind the eternal years the days of hardship and poverty on earth, but also the eternal years of the Beatific Vision in the kingdom of God.
