A Word from the Founder
The Most Reverend Paul M. Boyle, CP.
(1921-2008)

October 14, 2005

 How strange it would be for a person who has just won a multi-million dollar lottery to worry about a telephone bill of a few dollars. Such a person clearly fails to realize the immense wealth that has just come to him or her. Something similar happens in the spiritual life when a person meditates on the Passion of Jesus and is filled with sorrow. The sufferings, death and resurrection of Jesus are a source of immeasurable blessings to us. By his Paschal mystery Jesus has redeemed us, he given us eternal life.

Most people who are millionaires have earned their wealth by their hard work, their creativity and intelligence. But the riches we receive from Jesus are pure gift. We do not receive them as reward for our actions, as payment for our good works. We have been gifted by the free and boundless love of our God.

Meditation on the Passion of Jesus helps drive home this staggering truth. We develop a continually growing realization of the depths and strength of God’s love for us. As we thrill to this awareness, we are moved to share this joy with others.

This powerful and life-giving remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is the source of the evangelizing zeal of the members of the Mission Society of Mandeville. They seek to share with others the joy of knowing the gift of God.
