Being inadequate
06-May-13 11:37
Sometimes I
can feel ‘down’ for no logical reason, or for a very small one, as for instance
when I lost a set of keys last week. I
felt thoroughly annoyed with myself and generally useless in a futile kind of
way. I kept out of other people’s way sensing that I would do no-one any good in
that mood. Frustrated and rummaging
around I came on a cutting from Ronald Rolheiser’s column which I had saved: Give
yourself permission to be inadequate!
On calming down, a bit of reflection suggested where the lost keys might be, and so I found them. I had got all irritated for nothing. Rolheiser’s advice for the New Year is salutary at any time. He continues: “Both God and nature give you permission not to be perfect. Don’t be too hard on yourself and especially, on others. Everyone falls short. God doesn’t keep you from falling and failing, but redeems you when you do fall. You’re loved as you are. Fear not, you are inadequate!”

Our History
Founded in England in 1877, by Venerable Mary Potter, the first Irish community of the Little Company of Mary was formed in 1888 with the opening of St. John's Hospital in Limerick.
From the first beginnings of the Little Company of Mary, Irish women committed themselves to the vision of the founder, and have sought to create a world in which every human person - and particularly those who are dying - receive the care and love they need to become whole in body, mind and spirit...
Our Constitution
"God's love for humankind urges us to respect the human dignity of all those with whom we share our life, or to whom we are sent, to minister in His name. We are all called to make credible by our lives and our works that God is good.
This means we will co-operate with those striving to create a world in which Love, justice and peace prevail: and we reject whatever would be a compromise with any form of social injustice..."
