Fun Facts
st. Euphrasia Quotes
Quotes from St. Euphrasia that continues to bring us meaning today:
“One person is of more value than that of the whole world.”
“Nothing was too small, to arduous or too costly to put in to action day or night for God’s little ones.”
“If you always love one another, if you always uphold one another, you will be capable of working wonders!”
“We are called to become like Jesus, the Good Shepherd, passionately concerned for people in need of God’s healing love and authentic friendship.”
St. Mary Euphrasia was born Virginia Rose Pelletier (in France) during the French Revolution, on July 31, 1796. Her compassion for God’s hurting ones urged her to enter the Order of Our Lady of Refuge at Tours in 1814. As a Superior of the House of Tours, she founded a contemplative branch, which is now known as the Contemplatives of the Good Shepherd. These sisters express their charism in a life devoted to prayer, solitude, work and austerity. In 1831, Mother Euphrasia became the Superior General of the Congregation of the Good Shepherd Sisters. She founded 110 convents on five continents during her lifetime. Today, the Good Shepherd Sisters continue their missionary zeal to heal the broken-hearted, save the abandoned, fight for social justice and pro-life causes, and the bring hope into the lives of the marginalized, especially girls and women. The following are quotes of St. Euphrasia that continue to bring us meaning today: “One person is of more value than that of the whole world.” Nothing was too small, to arduous or too costly to put into action day or night for God’s little ones.”, and “If you always love one another, if you always uphold one another, you will be capable of working wonders!”
