Nun Excommunicated for Exposing a Priest who Abused Children

Did the headline catch your attention? Yes, indeed, a young sister of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, Sr. Mary MacKillop, who founded the order of teaching sisters in Australia was excommunicated by her bishop in 1871 after exposing a priest who abused children. Read the story here. That same sister is about to be canonized by Pope Benedict in October. "Pray, hope, and don't worry," as Padre Pio said. No matter how grim things look, God is there in the midst of the blackest night.

Please pray for those "persecuted for righteousness sake," that they will persevere and never lose heart.
