Venerable Mother d'youville Eminent Social Worker of the Eighteenth Century

Ursula McLean, Fordham University

Abstract

The Book of Genesis stamped with the simplicity of divine inspiration gives a succinct exposition of the awakening of slumbering eternity by the animating imperatives of the omnipotent Creator, spoken in the unbroken stillness that preceded creation. The unmeasured aeons He marked off with the hand of time; the unbounded vastness by the compass of place; He peopled the universe and blessed it with such prodigality, such lavish loveliness, such bountifulness of beauty that man, sovereign of the world as he is, should have made his life one unending act of praise. Since that undated day of creation, age after age has been flung from the eternal calendar until this incomparable epoch, this great twentieth century marks so proud an advance of material progress that centuries to come must needs be static, it would seem.
