Description:Excerpt from Memoir of Mother Mary Gonzaga O'brien During the past few years, through war and pestilence, the world has been awakened to a new appreciation of the noble virtue of devotion to our neighbor and to our country as expressed by the now familiar term "service." Men were inspired to heroic action in the discovery of their power to aid their fellowmen. They learned with gratified surprise that the sacrifice such effort entailed brought a peace they had never found in self-indulgence. Spiritual forces struggled with the materialistic temper of the times, and prevailed. The new consciousness that life held things that were dearer than life quickened the pulse of the age. Men were transformed in the realization of the glory of suffering for other men, and they who excelled in the practical expression of this faith were extolled by all. They were the heroes of service. All this is well. It is right that these exemplars should restore man's ever decreasing confidence in human nature, intensify his sense of brotherhood, augment his love for his neighbor. We need all the benefits we can derive from the splendor of the deeds of our heroes, and we gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness.
