~ LIGHT & LOVE ~ with Dr Daragh

~ WISDOM, WIT & INSIGHT TO ENLIGHTEN & INSPIRE ~

~ Mother Superior ~

Happy Tuesday :)


I received this via email from a dear friend and I wanted to share it here with all of you on Keen.  I am from Ireland and was raised by nuns my first two years of life in a convent. As an adult I have had the opportunity to return home to Ireland and meet the Sisters of Mercy and yes......Mother Superior in her winged habit and all :) 

Have a great day :)

                                

                                   ~ MOTHER SUPERIOR ~

The 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable.

They gave her some warm milk to drink but she refused.

Then one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.

Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.

"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly , "please give us some wisdom before you die."

She raised herself up in bed and with a pious look on her face said, "Don't sell that cow!"


Light & Love

LOL, thanks for sharing this, I myself was educated by the sisters of no mercy in a school that is still there, although changed from when I was there.

Joan,

Mine were the Sisters of Mercy too :)
I have seen your name for them in your writings and had a chuckle over it! My home with them stills stands too..I have been back several times and  I am in touch with them. They were merciful to the babies & children...the young mother's that had us...that is an entire novel in and of itself! I was educated by nuns here in the USA too...I agree with Crystal above...
this brought back some great memories that we each have :)
Have a great day~
