Sister Agnes Walsh was a good woman. She risked her life to save a poor family. She wasn’t paid, wasn’t bribed, wasn’t forced to. She saved them out of the goodness of her heart. In WWII, Jews were being sent to concentration camps. While many people stood back and did nothing, Sister Agnes Walsh made the right choices. She made people happy without backlash. In the end she had done many great things. She kept an entire family safe, and made people happy. In return she became famous. These are the reasons I believe she made the correct choices.

    Even though she may not have wanted it, I do think that her cause should go all the way. She is a wonderful example of living the gospel message and an inspiration to regular men and women. She knew what it was to suffer for her beliefs. She was converted and reconciled. She saw Jesus in the faces of all whom she met and served. What better example of sainthood could there possibly be.

She refused to let fear eat at her and inflict in her the weakness that poisoned her family. As a child she was a witness to too much violence and pain and much too often she could feel the hopelessness that many African Americans felt. She was set in her beliefs to make choices freely and help others like herself do so as well.

Her story is incredibly insightful to the realities of the world. Her problems were none too out of the ordinary; death, infidelity, drugs, scandal- at least one of those is in everyone's life. She admits, “I’d done a lot of dumb and dangerous things in my life…”(Strayed 94). The way she handled certain situations was not the best, but that is what made her life a learning process and more importantly that is the story that has inspired so many lives today.

    Her tragic error is that “she partied a lot, used the drugs cocaine and meth; she was drinking while clubbing and always wanted to be the center of attention and in the spotlight for anything no matter how good or bad it was”(Lebiedzinski pg 6). This gave her and her family a bad reputation and bad press all over the news and in the newspapers. Her reputation was destroyed once people found out that she was affiliated with these bad things, doing these bad things with her life and it gave people a bad taste about her after that. She didn’t care about what kind of reputation she had because she just wanted attention for her actions. She had realized what she was doing after a

    To begin, Mother Teresa stands as a strong activist from India, who deserves recognition for her tremendous actions. Mother Teresa, founder of a religious group of nuns in Calcutta, India, devoted her life to aiding sick and poor people throughout the world. I see Mother Teresa as an important figure to depict, since she dedicated her life to helping other and even inspired others to do the same. Born in war-torn Albania, Mother Teresa survived her childhood and at 19 joined the Sisters of Loreto in India. She served with missionary order of nuns for 20 years, until she had a realization of her life’s mission. She found that she needed to help the poor and sick. So, Mother Teresa descended into the slums of Calcutta and began the Sisters of Charity. From there, she led the Sisters of Charity in ministering to the sick and hungry by giving them much needed food and live. Mother Teresa received local reconviction; but in 1969, after a documentary on her work, she became a celebrity and was deemed a modern day saint. Mother Teresa used this to increase awareness of her work, thus benefiting the poor and sick further. She gave speeches all over the world emphasizing the struggle of the poor. Before her death, Mother Teresa had met a large number of world l...

    It is obvious from her feelings of extreme loneliness and battle with bulimia she was not getting the support she needed from her husband or family, therefore group therapy could have been another option for her in order to find that support system she was missing at home. Group therapy is helpful in as many as 75% of cases, especially when combined with individual insight therapy (Comer, 2006). I believe her charity work, while extremely noble and beneficial to the world, was a cry for the support and love she was missing in her marriage. The more charity work she did, the more affection she gained with the public.

  • Anne Sullivan: A Woman of Strong Conscience

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Anne first met Helen Keller, she was blind, deaf, and mute since she was 19 months old. Helen was left undisciplined, ill tempered, and neglected with no contact with the outer world. Anne’s difficult job was to tame Helen. Helen screamed, bit, hit, and kicked Anne, but Anne, faithfully, never gave up. Anne Sullivan displayed the virtues of fortitude, compassion, and most importantly patience while caring for Helen. Anne had a respect for life that gave her the belief that all humans were created in the image of God, and WE ALL ARE GOOD. Anne Sullivan treated Helen with equality, just as Jesus cured the lepers when the rest of the community cast them out of society.

However, the legacy she leaves us with isn’t to drop everything and serve the “poorest of the poor.” That was her assignment. Her calling, along with every believer’s calling, is to lay their life down for love, and to love God whole-heartedly, and to love “Jesus in disguise.”
