Medical Missionaries of Mary

Sunday 20th 1938
My dear Father Prior,
It was good to hear your voice again on the phone. How I should have liked to have seen you, but I know this was impossible owing to the feast tomorrow.
We can all be united in prayer and i say suffering, for I do not think there is anyone in authority who has not a great deal of this. One great thing about suffering is that it leads us to God.
It would be difficult for me to express how much I miss the influence of St. Benedict's Fathers, but I suppose this must all be in God's plan.
Father O'Driscoll has been extremely kind to me. Is it not a strange thing how they Augustinians will be working in ?? Nigeria
I very nearly went down to the boat to see Father Abbot and you, but I feared I might have been in the way, as I would have been, as things turned out.
I am sorry to hear you are going to have another domestic upheaval. If Dom Mathias is in charge of this department, I think it is better for me to keep out of things and let him get his own staff.
If it were you who were in charge, I would do anything to help you get someone.
Say a Low Mass please Father, for both our intentions.
Your devoted and ever-grateful child,
Sr. Mary
