Quote of the day, 17 March: Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa

During her retreat before final vows, Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory wrote nine heartfelt petitions to St. Thérèse, seeking holiness, love for God, and the grace to serve her sisters joyfully.

Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, O.Carm.
(Bridget McCrory)

From the Mother Angeline Society

Note: Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, O.Carm. (1893–1984) was an Irish-born Carmelite known for her deep compassion and dedication to the elderly. Born Bridget Teresa McCrory in County Tyrone, Ireland, she entered religious life with the Little Sisters of the Poor in France. Sent to the United States, she felt called to serve the aged in a new way, emphasizing dignity, personal care, and a family-like environment. With the encouragement of Cardinal Patrick Hayes of New York, she founded the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm in 1929, bringing the Carmelite charism of prayer and service into elder care.

Throughout her life, Mother Angeline fostered a profound devotion to St. Thérèse of Lisieux and the “Little Way.” Before her final vows, she entrusted her vocation to St. Thérèse, writing nine petitions that reflected her longing for holiness and her desire to love and serve as the Little Flower did.

Recognized for her heroic virtue, she was declared Venerable by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. Her legacy lives on through the Carmelite Sisters and their mission of compassionate care for the elderly.
