Suzanne (Mother Mary Joseph) Aubert 1835 – 1926
Founder of the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion of Wellington New Zealand
The Sisters of Compassion have given permission for the writings of Suzanne Aubert to be used by Kilian de Lacy to write daily reflection booklets; each containing two months' reflections. (59 to 62 days)
Each day's reading is in three parts:
A short quote from Mother Aubert
A modern day community reflection by Kilian on that quote
A short prayer
Archbishop of Wellington John Dew has seen a draft for the first issue and supports the concept and the idea of a brief daily devotion guide as a pastoral tool for religious and laity.
The word count is 120 to 150 words for each day
Launch Date: 1 October 2006
We have already provided 8000 FREE FLYERS - the PDF file included with this notice has the four A6 pages of the flyer sent to several groups supporting Mother Aubert's cause toward becoming the first canonized Saint of New Zealand. The PDF file has the pages in a different order from the flyers.
Many of you would have been reading Kilian's "Holy Lives" on saints in the New Zealand Catholic. She has published five sets of "Stations of the Cross" in the Marist Messenger and several months of reflections. You maybe have read her reflections published in the North American publication "Our Daily Visitor" on which this project is modeled.
This is a request for assistance in publicising this work to your parish network to promote Suzanne Aubert's cause. We would like to provide free flyers to be sent with your next newsletter. Please advise the required numbers and date. The printed flyer is an A5 page on gold paper folded to fit a standard envelope.
Thank you for your help toward the cause of Mother Aubert.
Regards
Kilian de Lacy & Bruce Twidle
