              Draft letter about constitutions to Fr. O Connor about writing to a Bishop.

              Projet de lettre à Fr O'Connor
              9095- /e7sy/t12

              Dear Fr [O'Connor],

              I received Friday last a letter from His Grace, and acknowledged receipt of it, without adding other.

              As a matter of fact, I could hardly do else, H.G. [His Grace] not alluding to the case we put before him by the paper left in your hands Wednesday last.

              But I am afraid he has exaggerated the meaning and force of some phrases, and thought that perhaps some Society as contemplated by [the M.M.M.] would exist in Glenstal.

              Never such was done nor attempted—since it was to obtain authorization to try it that we did go to Thurles.

              I should be very sorry if H.G. had understood in another manner our application or any of our previous transactions. Would you think it useful, I would be very thankful for giving me an appointment, the next time you come in Murroe.

              Looking forward for a kind answer, I remain, dear Fr,

              Yours very thankfully,

              Dom [I.]

              Typed account of a conversation with the Nuncio in which he advises against the formation of a congregation, saying it will not get the approval of the Bishops. He advises to form lay society instead.

              AI CLEANED AND TRANSLATED:

              Mercredi [date unclear, likely 1937]
              Conversation à la Nonciature. Mgr Bearzotti présent et approuvant.
              Résumé, Non Historique, mais Logique.

              Le Nonce commence par dire et tout le temps il parle avec cette "autorité" : " Voici ce que je pense et vous conseille comme Nonce : vous ferez ce que vous voudrez, mais ceci est mon Avis formel et définitif.

              Vous ne trouverez jamais un Évêque en Irlande. Pas même Cork. Je l'ai vu à Maynooth et il s'est dérobé—pas non plus Kilmore (M.M. est payée pour le savoir !).
              [Et il pense, sans le dire, que lui-même ne peut rien pour elle tant qu'elle est en Irlande, mais qu'il pourra l'aider puissamment une fois dehors—i.e. en Afrique.]

              Même si Cork acceptait, retirez-vous. Entre les mains d'un Évêque, votre œuvre sera dénaturée. Les "bonae religiosae" choisies par lui changeront tout : l'esprit sera transformé, si l'œuvre n'est pas détournée de son premier but—cf. Killeshandra.
              (i.e. tout Évêque prendrait son rôle de diocésain comme s'il était fondateur, et entendrait tout régler à sa façon.)

              Alors, quitter Glenstal ? Oui. D'ailleurs il sera toujours impossible, avec nos Évêques, de vous former en congrégation bénédictine : ils n'accepteront jamais.
              Je comprends que les Évêques sont jaloux de toute ingérence. Les religieuses relevant plus ou moins directement d'un Ordre d'hommes échappent à leur influence, et leur action est paralysée—Quand bien même elles n'obtiendraient pas l'exemption.

              Constituez-vous donc en Société laïque (ce fut d'ailleurs l'avis de S.E. dès le début des difficultés). Les Évêques ne pourront rien contre vous. Une maison à Dublin pour grouper les Aspirantes et tenir les Étudiantes. En ce moment vos filles sont à l'abandon—et elles vont se perdre.

              Envoyez le plus tôt possible un peloton en Afrique, et, là, trouvez un Évêque qui vous donne maison, noviciat, etc.
              Vous aurez des difficultés—en particulier financières—mais il faut aller de l'avant. Dans la voie où vous êtes, vous ne pouvez que piétiner.

              Rentrée le 10, M.M. [Mother Mary] écrit au Nonce la lettre dont copie ci-jointe.
              English Translation

              Wednesday [Date Code]
              Conversation at the Nunciature. Mgr Bearzotti present and approving.
              Summary, not chronological, but logical.

              The Nuncio begins by saying—and all the while he speaks with this "authority": "Here is what I think and counsel you as Nuncio: you will do what you wish, but this is my formal and definitive Opinion."

              You will never find a Bishop in Ireland. Not even Cork. I saw him at Maynooth and he evaded [the issue]—nor Kilmore either (M.M. has paid the price to know that!).
              [And he thinks, without saying it, that he himself can do nothing for her as long as she is in Ireland, but that he will be able to help her powerfully once outside—i.e., in Africa.]

              Even if Cork were to accept, withdraw. In the hands of a Bishop, your work will be distorted. The "bonae religiosae" [good religious women] chosen by him will change everything: the spirit will be transformed, if the work is not diverted from its primary goal—cf. Killeshandra.
              (i.e., every Bishop would take his role as diocesan as if he were the founder, and would intend to regulate everything in his own way.)

              So, leave Glenstal? Yes. Besides, it will always be impossible, with our Bishops, to form you into a Benedictine congregation: they will never accept it.
              I understand that the Bishops are jealous of any interference. Nuns reporting more or less directly to an Order of men escape their influence, and their [the Bishops'] action is paralyzed—Even if they [the nuns] were not to obtain exemption.

              Constitute yourselves therefore as a Lay Society (this was indeed the opinion of His Excellency from the beginning of the difficulties). The Bishops will be unable to do anything against you. [Get] a house in Dublin to group the Aspirants and keep the Students. At this moment your daughters are abandoned—and they are going to be lost.

              Send as soon as possible a detachment to Africa, and, there, find a Bishop who gives you a house, novitiate, etc.
              You will have difficulties—particularly financial—but you must go forward. In the path where you are, you can only mark time [stagnate].

              Returned on the 10th, M.M. [Mother Mary] wrote to the Nuncio the letter of which a copy is attached.

              Eminenza Reverendissima,
              [L025ou 2e/450 - Archival Reference]

              Da due o tre anni alcune signorine irlandesi, con a capo la Signorina Maria Martin, di stimatissima famiglia cattolica di Dublino, si sono messe insieme nell'intento di iniziare una Società per l'assistenza medicale in terra di missioni, specie per i bambini e le madri. Le Signorine hanno già cominciato a provvedersi di qualche titolo presso le Facoltà di Medicina e Ostetricia per questo scopo.

              Bramando di premettere una soda formazione spirituale, esse si sono rivolte all'Ordine di San Benedetto, di cui apprezzano la Regola e lo spirito, e ricevono nel nostro Priorato di Glenstal istruzione e direzione. Parecchie di esse hanno già passato uno o più anni in questi esercizi, i quali in qualche modo equivalgono a quelli di un regolare noviziato.

              L'appello, contenuto nella recente Istruzione della S.C. de Propaganda Fide, che mira alla creazione di nuovi Istituti per le Missioni, è apparso loro un incoraggiamento e quasi un'approvazione della Provvidenza ai loro sforzi. E' per questo che la Signorina Martin ha pensato di rivolgere a Vostra Eminenza la qui unita rispettosa Petizione, che io mi permetto di raccomandare, convinto che le richiedenti siano mosse da sincero zelo per le anime e che desiderino seriamente di mettere a base delle loro future attività una solida formazione spirituale adeguata ai pericoli dell'opera di carità a cui mirano.

              La Signorina Martin espose il suo progetto a S.E. il Nunzio Apostolico e fu accolta con benevolo interessamento.

              Eminenza

              Da due o tre anni si sono incontrate in Irlanda qualche signorine che, sotto l'influenza della Signorina Marie Martin, di stimatissima famiglia cattolica Dublinese, mirano ad iniziare una opera medicale nelle Missioni, specialmente l'ostetricia colle operazioni chirurgiche e trattazioni che essa importa per la cura delle madri e dei bimbi.

              Bramando una soda formazione spirituale, anzi religiosa, si sono tornate verso l'Ordine di S. Benedetto di cui apprezzano la Regola e lo spirito — e ricevono in nostro Priorato di Glenstal, nella diocesi di Cashel, istruzione e direzione. Parecchie hanno già compiuto un anno e più in questi esercizi, che valgono, a dire il vero, quelli di un noviziato regolare e canonico.

              La pubblicazione dell'Istruzione della S.C. di Propaganda [corrispose] sì esattamente il loro desiderio, che le è parso l'appello della Provvidenza a realizzare l'opera per cui si erano radunate.

              Oggi, quindi, si rivolgono alla S. Sede per intermezzo della V. Eminenza, cui indirizzano una rispettosa supplica. La quale vorrei appoggiare di tutto quel che posso, confermando alla V.E. la stima che ci ha ispirato il loro spirito di zelo e religioso fervore, di umiltà e soprannaturale docilità, loro intelligenza della necessità di una vita nascosta e dedicata alla preghiera ed alla formazione spirituale prima di incontrare i pericoli della opera di carità a cui mirano.

              E mi confermo
              Della Sua Eminenza Ill.ma Rev.ma
              ubbidientissimo ed umilissimo per servirla

              English Translation

              [DRAFT 1]

              Most Reverend Eminence,

              For two or three years, some Irish young ladies, headed by Miss Maria Martin, of a highly esteemed Catholic family in Dublin, have gathered together with the intent of initiating a Society for medical assistance in mission lands, especially for children and mothers. The young ladies have already begun to provide themselves with some qualifications at the Faculties of Medicine and Obstetrics for this purpose.

              Desiring to premise a solid spiritual formation, they turned to the Order of St. Benedict, whose Rule and spirit they appreciate, and they are receiving instruction and direction in our Priory of Glenstal. Several of them have already spent one or more years in these exercises, which in some way are equivalent to those of a regular novitiate.

              The appeal, contained in the recent Instruction of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (Propaganda Fide), which aims at the creation of new Institutes for the Missions, appeared to them as an encouragement and almost an approval of Providence for their efforts. It is for this reason that Miss Martin thought to address to Your Eminence the enclosed respectful Petition, which I permit myself to recommend, convinced that the applicants are moved by sincere zeal for souls and that they seriously desire to place as a basis for their future activities a solid spiritual formation adequate to the dangers of the work of charity at which they aim.

              Miss Martin exposed her project to His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio and was received with benevolent interest.

              Bowing to kiss the Sacred Purple, I profess myself...

              [DRAFT 2]

              Eminence

              For two or three years there have met in Ireland a few young ladies who, under the influence of Miss Marie Martin, of a highly esteemed Catholic Dublin family, aim to initiate a medical work in the Missions, especially obstetrics with the surgical operations and treatments that it imports for the care of mothers and babies.

              Desiring a solid spiritual formation, indeed a religious one, they turned toward the Order of St. Benedict whose Rule and spirit they appreciate — and they receive instruction and direction in our Priory of Glenstal, in the diocese of Cashel. Several have already completed a year and more in these exercises, which are worth, to tell the truth, those of a regular and canonical novitiate.

              The publication of the Instruction of the S.C. of Propaganda [corresponded] so exactly to their desire, that it appeared to them the appeal of Providence to realize the work for which they had gathered.

              Today, therefore, they turn to the Holy See through the medium of Your Eminence, to whom they address a respectful supplication. Which I would like to support with all I can, confirming to Your Eminence the esteem which their spirit of zeal and religious fervor has inspired in us, of humility and supernatural docility, their understanding of the necessity of a hidden life dedicated to prayer and to spiritual formation before encountering the perils of the work of charity at which they aim.

              And I confirm myself
              Of Your Most Illustrious and Reverend Eminence
              The most obedient and humble servant

              From Mary Martin to Prior. Reflecting among other things about leaving Glenstal.

              TEXT

              Caritas
              +
              My dear Father Prior
              was a joy to
              see your writing + to know at
              least that you are still alive.
              It is sudh a beautiful P. Card +
              something to keep for M.M.Ms Albuin
              Miss Moynagh was greatly delighted
              with her we had a good laugh
              before opening the enclosed letter +
              thank its contents did not depress
              us
              as we are always ready
              with His grace to accept His Will
              in
              All things. I shed a few tears
              when I went to Our Lord as it
              seems so sad to see the attitude
              our Bishops + yet I believe
              they act with good faith + with
              great sincerity in all things. I have
              made up my mind as one
              our special work in prayer + our
              life
              of Charity is to pray for Priests
              Glenstal Priory
              Murroe _
              22nd July 1936

              All thes is due
              to lack of proper
              education in the full sense _
              As the letter is sent to His Excellency
              I am sending it as confidential matter
              also I know such an answer
              would ondace pesple to speak +
              fail in charity because if you
              did not understand this country it
              sounds impossible. One solid prayer
              will do more to change this attitude

              • when the occasion arises straight
                talk but above all living the
                Christ like life.
                I have been thinking much +praying
                over
                the sacrifice of leaving here
                but see clearly for M.M.M. I must
                do so God gave me the consolation
                to see that He can give me all
                back if I do His Will + refuse
                Him nothing as He is going
                me
                back Africa + the place I sacrifice
                or an act of obedience
                .
                When we are formed + erected into
                religions + you still need help + we

              Can give what you require He will
              arrange for as to get back to
              Glenstal. if it is not His Will
              neither of us wish it
              I am enclosing the answer I sent
              to His Excellency
              the vocation are coming but I
              should be on the spot to meet
              them .
              I wonder have you any great
              lights as regards here
              I am think
              going into Limerick this week

              • see what the shops can do there
                in
                supplying the uniform this would
                be excellent + then follow the
                course that they do (if I may in
                all humility + as it is partly business
                matter, at Ampleforth of supplying
                all the uniform. blazers etc from
                the College.
                I did not order
                sheets yet_ as I may be suggesting
                an extra expense you will not be
                able to meet especially
                you are
                thinking of + paid staff

              M. jusurance stauip this quarter what
              I heard poor Fr. John bemoning prayin
              will the poor priest do when he has to
              pay a full staff + the insurance
              Of course the insurance is very high now
              but then of any of your staff gets ill
              it will mean more expense

              He has promised to-day to go +
              see about the painter I shall do
              nothing about lavatories etc till
              you return as I know you have
              difenitr ideas about same
              doing for us in Belgium
              I trust
              Many thanks for all you are
              God to reward you for all.
              Miss Leyden gets on well in
              Holles st.
              I do not know what to do about
              Miss Nichols but as she cannot come
              till 1st of Aug: I really think it
              is hardly worth while bring her here
              We shall be able to manage here with
              the help of Nora_
              I took the Bull by the horns as
              they say + went of armed with

              1+5 Thiss Hayes + Myself, + asked Fr.Hubert
              preserving bottles to the garden, (Miss Moynag
              might we pick Raseberries to preserve he
              said yes. So we ventured down again
              yesterday + got Red carrauts + have
              made great jelly_ it breaks my
              heart to see all the fruit being picked

              • Limerick + we only getting the
                remains However I keep impressing on
                Fr. Hubert you deserve to have plenty
                home
                made Jam + fruit preserved
                so be is falling in with the idea
                but I think like is all is a bit
                afraid of the Cellererias.
                nothing definite yet poor thing she
                Miss O' Loighlin has heard
                fr good + generous but little
                Stability

                has promised if you allow to
                Continue to help as He gave me
                a very good article to read in

                Medical Mission + the Instructions
                The Sacred Congregation. It is
