I came to the Creative Commons (CC) certificate program for educators upon being awarded an Open Education Resources (OER) training grant. As a community college nursing instructor, I was very interested in learning about potentially free resources for my students. The knowledge that I gained through the course has opened my eyes to so much more than I expected.
When I started searching for OER for nursing education, I found that OER textbooks for use in nursing education are very limited. This presents a wide-open opportunity for scholarly activity in developing these resources.
Nursing OER use in the community college setting can have a profound positive impact. First and foremost, these free resources will reduce expenses associated with nursing education. One of the great benefits of attending community college is affordability. Many students are first-generation college students and come from disparate backgrounds. Our mission is to make education attainable for these students. This will potentially change the student’s lives and the lives of future generations.
Textbooks are a huge expense for nursing students. The expenses can be a major barrier for students in the community college setting from a financial standpoint. This is where CC licensing of OER comes into play.
Creative Commons licensing is a method of copyrighting OER. Copyright entails the laws surrounding how creative works are used. Basically, the laws determine how others can use creative works.
The internet has opened access to sharing creative works vastly. With the endless possibilities of sharing, are the challenges of regulating how the works are used, specifically how the creator can control the use of their own works.
Creative Commons licensing provides a method for creators to copyright their creative works. Specifically, CC provides a global standard for use and reuse of creative works. Creative Commons has six different licenses that can be applied to OER, ranging from most restrictive to least restrictive. There are currently over 1.6 billion creative works licensed with CC licenses. The least restrictive license is the CC BY license, which enables users of the works to copy, adapt or modify, distribute (publish, display, publicly perform or communicate the work), or license to others. The most restrictive license is CC BY-NC-ND, meaning that the creative works cannot be used commercially and may not be adapted in any way.
The Goals of CC
One goal of CC is to increase the amount of openly licensed creativity in “the commons” — the body of work freely available for legal use, sharing, repurposing, and remixing. Using CC licenses, millions of people around the world have made their photos, videos, writing, music, and other creative content available for any member of the public to use.
Developing CC licensed OER, specifically CC-BY licensed works in nursing will help remove barriers to getting a college degree. Not only will this potentially benefit students of your own college, the OER has the potential to benefit students across the globe.
Nursing faculty have the knowledge and skills to develop OER. Most nursing faculty are educated at the master's and doctoral levels and are considered subject matter experts on the content that they teach. As a result, they could create OER for their classes and share these works with other nurse educators.
In the community college setting, we are not required to publish, as our major focus is on teaching. Developing OER for our students can be an integral part of the educational process. As an educator, I find myself scouring resources that my students have paid for in an effort to organize these resources to fit our curriculum. I can see where having an OER specifically adapted to my curriculum would be very beneficial to organizing the class, but also from the financial impact that it would have on my students. Thus, reducing their overall expenses.
From the educator’s perspective, time can be a limiting factor, especially when we have a full plate of activities in progress. Pooling resources can be a great scholarly endeavor. Additionally, this addresses the problems that have been outlined that can potentially impede the progress of nursing students in the community college setting from meeting their goal of becoming nurses.
The CC certificate program has broadened my horizons on how I can help further the mission of the community college nursing program. The problem is that many nursing faculty members in the community college system do not even know that CC licensing exists and the ease that it provides in helping them to share their creative works, specifically nursing OER. I was unaware myself before taking the CC certificate course.
My plan is to start sharing this information within my circles of influence. I plan to share with my colleagues within my nursing program, as well as, colleagues within the community college association, and my state nursing association. I will start by introducing CC licensing. I also plan to develop OER adapted to my nursing program curriculum. Finally, I will license my OER with a CC-BY license so that it can be shared broadly.
The Changing of Times
Change can be difficult, but I plan to collaborate with colleagues within the courses that I teach to start developing OER for those courses. I am developing OER for my
upcoming courses as part of my final project for the CC Certificate Course. This will provide tangible evidence to use when educating my peers on the development of OER, and the ease of the CC licensing process.
The knowledge that I have gained through the CC certification course has given me a new sense of accomplishment as a community college nursing instructor.
I feel that a new world of information has provided a mechanism to help impact the nursing profession and the students that I serve. I am very excited about the future with CC licensing of nursing OER for community college education. I hope to spread this excitement across the nursing community and create a spark for empowering our students to reach their goals.

Pope Pius XI instituted The Feast of Christ the King in 1925, to be celebrated throughout the universal church, in his encyclical Quas Primas. He connected the increasing denial of Christ as king to the rise of secularism throughout much of Europe. At the time of Quas Primas, many Christians (including Catholics) began to doubt Christ’s authority and existence, as well as the Church’s power to continue Christ’s authority.
Pius XI, and the rest of the Christian world, witnessed the rise of non-Christian (or nominally Christian) dictatorships throughout Europe, and saw Catholics being persuaded by these earthly leaders. These dictators also often attempted to assert authority over the Church. Just as the Feast of Corpus Christi was instituted when devotion to the Eucharist was at a low point, the Feast of Christ the King was instituted during a time when respect for Christ and the Church was waning, when the feast was needed most.


The project to combat urban violence in Brazil through the policies of pacification of favelas (UPP) is undoubtedly the flagship of public policy in preparation for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics respectively. By focusing the problem of violence in Brazil on the enclosed space of the favelas, the Federal Government maintains a civil order model guided by police intervention in spaces of social exclusion, where legal exceptions often apply. The model is therefore a type violence itself. My working hypothesis is that this model is not only a contemporary solution to an urgent problem, but a biopolitics practice of confining poverty which has historically prevailed in the country since the 1889 establishment of the Republic. This model is often responsible for producing the same violence that it tries to fight, insofar as creating what I call “pockets of unease”, or the encapsulation of the slums, the isolation of the outskirts, the cruel demarcation of indigenous reserves, inhuman abandonment of prisons, and so on, resulting in an old bipartite portrait of Brazil often retrieved by major national critics and interpreters, between the city and the favelas, between the coast and the interior, between the civilized and the barbarous, between progress and disorders.
The line of research I have been developing with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley propose to think about the production of spaces of exclusion/exception regarding this idea of a divided Brazil. More precisely, I research how this idea was exploited and reified violently in the decisive moments of both literary and cultural life within Brazil, in the face of discourses that interpret national identity. For this purpose, my starting point is a critical reappraisal of one out of many armed conflicts that outline certain historiography of violence in Brazil: The Massacre of Canudos (1897). This is undoubtedly the episode that reached the highest national and international visibility, having been the subject of extensive studies in different fields of knowledge.
The mediation of the writer Euclides da Cunha in the memory of this conflict was crucial for such public visibility. da Cunha not only reported to the rest of the country about the existence of “another Brazil” economically crushed and politically forgotten, but also ended up shaping the ambiguities of the concept of barbarism to urban societies that found themselves civilized. If first, through the war reports he wrote as a special envoy from the newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo (1887), he supported the republican military uprising against the canudenses, five years later, revising and expanding his own readings of the conflict in the monumental historiographic essay Os Sertões (1902), Euclides changes his perspective, and goes on to defend the canudenses’ rustic heroism against the harassment of the Republic.
In my investigations, I point out that Euclides da Cunha’s criticism not only turned upside down but it didn’t stop to switch his two opposite point of views, for da Cunha’s mediation has proved to be, in the end, undecidable, in part because of its bipartisan approach of Brazil, dividing the country between modern cities and the undeveloped backlands. However, Brazilian intellectuals eager to exorcise that horrific page of national history, erased ideological ambiguities of the text and immediately canonized the essay and the author as ultimate examples of maximum both literary style and social protest. The book of Euclides seems to be, thus, the first cultural item to expose Brazilian violence in a key full of ambivalences. Furthermore, Os Sertões also seems to forge a national profile that has not diminished in value precisely because of its ambivalences, which inaugurate a critique of violence whose unassailable ambiguities often end up dodging a judgment more severe concerning the practices of extermination in Brazil.
The current stage of my research aims to investigate in depth problems within Euclidean interpretation of the Canudos episode, particularly in contrast with other historiographical sources that undermine the polarization between the civilized and the barbarian through which Euclides da Cunha simplified the problem of violence in Brazil. To this end, it will be essential to investigate the archives of José Calasans, placed in CEB - Centro de Estudos Baianos, in Federal University of Bahia at Salvador. Calasans was one of the most acknowledged scholars of Brazilian folklore and devoted much of his life to discovering sources that developed a non-Euclidean critique regarding the community and slaughter of Canudos.
The Calasans Archive has approximately 5000 books, 180 periodicals and hundreds of documents and personal belongings of victims of Canudos. All these items form a rare and complex testimony of the massacre. I’m sure that diving into this collection is therefore essential to reappraise more accurately the ambiguities of the Euclidean approach. At CEB, I will have the chance to get in touch with researchers who are currently working with Calasans’ collection. Once in Bahia, I intend to interview the investigator Antonio Olavo, responsible for the compilation of one of the largest iconographic collections about Canudos. One purpose of this season in Bahia is also to travel to the backland and visit the “Old Canudos”, where there is the Historical Museum of Canudos, Canudos State Park, The Antonio Conselheiro Memorial, and visit the “new city” of Canudos. My goal there is to collect data that might serve as a trace of the impact of Euclides da Cunha’s work in the memory of current inhabitants of the former camp in order to broaden the discussion about the role of Brazilian intellectuals in the formation of self-consciousness of civil society regarding violence.
This research project also includes a few weeks in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where I will have access to the Euclidean bibliography deposited in the National Library and in the Brazilian Academy of Letters, including his diaries and his letters. The goal is to map ideological strategies adopted by Euclides da Cunha in order to inscribe The Backlands into his “project of Brazil”. Therefore, I want to investigate how the Canudos episode contributed to this goal. I also intend to investigate newspapers of his time in order to draw a profile of the literary reception of his work to understand the cultural debate around this issue of spatial segmentation of Brazil.
Also in Rio de Janeiro, I intend to visit the Instituto Moreira Salles and talk to the researchers responsible for the edition of two thick books of images on Euclides da Cunha, Os Sertões and the anonymous people of Canudos. I am interested in the criteria for the organization of these volumes and the critical perspective of the editors on the aesthetic use of some images of violence. Furthermore, I intend to discuss ideas in an interview with Luiz Costa Lima, scholar in the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, who wrote a sharp and loud criticism of the Euclidean method (Terra Ignota, 1997), and with João Camillo Penna, scholar in the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Professor Penna is author of numerous essays addressing the criminalization of poverty in Brazil as well as its subtle ramifications in literary discourse.
After these six weeks in Brazil, I will have a more solid basis for approaching the problems posed by the Canudos Massacre for Brazilian critics and authors such as Euclides da Cunha. I believe that this question attacks the main framework of a certain tradition of uncompromised discussion of violence in Brazil that often softens its drama and authorizes further violence. My research aims to make it possible to more clearly outline the protocols of exclusion of poverty through policies that attempt to eliminate poor in Brazil.


The Quayle Bible Collection is a collection of Bibles and religious manuscripts that were donated to Baker University by Bishop Quayle in his will in 1925. Kim Quayle, Baker University alumna and great-great granddaughter of Bishop Quayle, said she remembers stories from her childhood about Bishop Quayle.
“I’ve found some letters to and from the Bishop in some of the books I have from his collection,” Quayle said. “He was kind, a sought-after speaker and a dedicated father.”
Quayle explained that he donated part of his collection to represent the connection he has with the university.
“[Bishop Quayle] graduated from Baker and his father in law was Werter Davis, the first president, so he had some pretty strong ties to Baker,” Quayle said.
The familial connection the Quayle family has with Baker is very important to the family.
“I love the fact that my grandchildren and great grandchildren will be able to see Baker and the collection and make that connection,” said Quayle.
Victoria Jones, senior, was impressed with the Quayle Bible Collection the moment she first laid eyes on it.
“The collection had more than meets the eye, and I could have spent hours there looking at each display,” said Quayle.
The collection gives students the opportunity to learn from and enjoy old religious texts, but it also gives students the chance to see pieces of history in real life.
“I think that the Quayle Bible Collection adds to the religious experience at Baker, separating it from other universities,” Jones said. “It’s a place that history and religion meet and can be explored.”
The Quayle Bible Collection also features different exhibits throughout the year. Jones said she thinks the exhibits are some of the most fascinating parts of the Collection, and she’s looking forward to visiting the newest exhibit: From Creation to Apocalypse: The Bible in America from the Pilgrims to the Civil War.
Nicholaus Pumphrey, curator of the Quayle Bible Collection since 2016, said it has always been a goal of his as a professor and curator to have his students help design exhibits.
“The idea behind this exhibit, is that everybody debates about whether or not America was founded on Christian values or not and who were the groups that sought religious freedom… and this exhibit analyzes texts from the times of the Pilgrims to the times of the Civil War,” Pumphrey said.
He said this exhibit shows how the Bible is viewed in different ways and how the Civil War brought upon the creation of new religions like Jehovah’s Witness and Seventh-Day Adventist.
Pumphrey said there have been many additions to the collection since the original donation by Bishop Quayle.
“The original donation was around 400, and we have almost doubled that over the years,” he said.
Books are added through donations, auctions, and some are specifically purchased by the department.
“We get a lot of donations… some are family bibles, and some are done in someone’s name,” he said. “People have these sacred books, and they don’t want to throw them away but they aren’t sure what to do with them… We are able to take them and put them on display and allow people to continue to use and enjoy them.”
Pumphrey said the Quayle Bible Collection brings a lot of significance to Baker University.
“This is a piece of cultural history that students can learn from and that brings in visitors from all over,” Pumphrey said. “It also gives the university some reputation from scholars… scholars are able to contact me and request photos and use of the texts.”
The Quayle Bible Collection is located on the top floor of the Library and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Pumphrey said he hopes people will continue to come visit and enjoy the exhibits. He said the collection is extremely valuable and more complete than collections found at larger universities.
“Any major university in the world has a manuscript collection… and when professors come visit they are just blown away by what we have” Pumphrey said.


Proceedings of the Seventh Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference
This proceedings is the culmination of efforts that produced the Seventh Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference. This was the latest in a series of regional conferences that began in 1980. Like the previous conferences, this meeting was designed to provide a forum for (1) the exchange of research information among silviculturists and researchers in related areas, (2) research coordination, (3) review of research in progress, and (4) new approaches or techniques of general interest. The conference, held November 17-19, 1992 in Mobile, Alabama, consisted of a general session, four concurrent sessions, and an optional field tour.

Quite frankly I am surprised that Eben Alexander’s “Proof of Heaven,” is not more popular and being passed around in Christian circles. This is a riveting non-fiction story that is rich and captivating from beginning to end.
I will do my best to summarize without giving any particulars away. Alexander is a renowned Neurosurgeon, whom goes through an illness that leaves him in a comatose state for a week. His illness left the portions of his brain, widely considered by modern science, to be the center of thought and emotion, completely shut down.
The focus of the book is on those seven days. These were seven days that Alexander, an inferred agnostic and full blown scientist, believed that he experienced being in the midst of heaven. Eben relayed his near death experience in an unbelievably eloquent fashion and I could not put this book down.
On a personal note, as a Christian, it probably won’t come as a shock to you that I believe and am looking forward to being in heaven. So I found this story to be even more compelling that an educated man of science went through an experience that modern science AND religious circles cannot quantifiably explain. But I truly feel that Alexander did a great job of taking the reader along with him through what he experienced, even if the human vocabulary can’t perfectly capture everything J.
Yes there was some scientific jargon that I had to weed through as the story went on. But I can safely share with you that I made it through without my head exploding from not being able to understand the job functions and interconnected web that is the human brain. This is one amazing story that I highly recommend for you to check out!

Writing research article
Need tips on how to write good academic papers – you are not alone. For your convenience, we have all types of academic papers online, such as academic essays, academic research, academic theses, academic term papers, and college academic papers. Our academic writing services can help you solve your academic writing problems. Our highly qualified writers write scholarly articles that are academic articles for money and good quality. If you are struggling with similar problems, read this article for a complete guide on how to write good academic articles…
The text addresses typical obstacles to the dissemination of new knowledge and is presented and framed as a practical model. Readers will learn how they can structure their work, write notes, relate the reader to their presentations, illustrate their methods, communicate their findings, and close the loop in their recent chapters. This document provides a useful framework for writing scientific papers. This can be seen as a good starting point for early academic writing. Contact your manager for a template file for this document. While studying at university, students are required to write many scientific papers in many subject areas..
We will provide you with all the information you need. You can order a well written essay on our website to better understand the general rules of academic writing and the exact structure and format of the article. If you believe that the academic work we have provided does not meet your requirements and is missing in some respects, you can ask us to change the academic work already written. The thesis statement reflects the central argument of the article..
A thought to write your first academic paper
It is a model for the development of a scientific manuscript in the context of research related to business and management. I am using the example of literature review for illustration, as reviewing what we know about a particular topic is a problem that many newcomers to academic writing will encounter at some point. Instead of writing the classic How to Instruct, this document provides readers with a template created in an “instant writing instruction”..
Do we understand each other? Discussion of academic exchange by cross
The main argument is not intended to convince the reader. Rather, it is intended to make a central statement that the reader is better equipped to understand after reading the essay. Most academic writing is designed to enable readers to better understand a specific topic, as in this example of the academic article. Once you have a powerful kick, it is time to give your readers an understanding of the main theme of your essay. Since the main topic of the article may not be clear at this stage, you should narrow down the focus of your article by providing some valuable contextual background information….
They have two essays, research papers, analytical articles, etc. The main purpose of writing these academic papers is to teach students to express their thoughts and share thoughts on a specific topic of the article. To complete a level A project, you need to think logically, explain your point of view, and test it with clear arguments. So it is necessary to develop analytical thinking and the ability to establish contact with the reader. Not sure how to start a fun introductory paragraph in your story essay?
It is introduced in the introduction and repeated – in a new language – at the beginning of the conclusion. This is repeated in the new language because it is assumed that readers’ understanding of the topic has improved as the author has laid out his main points in the main part of the article. As readers’ thinking moves forward, it makes sense to develop and improve the wording of the main argument…

Jacoba van Heemskerck and Hilma af Klint. Their paths to modernity from the spirit of Theosophy
Wed, 23 06 21
Conversation with Julia Voss and Henrike Mund
At the beginning of the 20th century theosophy and anthroposophy had an influence on the visual arts. They play a role both in the work of the Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862 -1944) as well as the Dutch artist Jacoba van Heemskerck. In the search for the spiritual the teachings and writings of Rudolf Steiner’s were an important starting point for both of them.
Julia Voss, historian of science, art critic, expert on the work of Hilma af Klint and author of the biography “Hilma af Klint – Humanity”, published in 2020, and Henrike Mund, curator of the exhibition “Jacoba van Heemskerck. Uncompromisingly Modern” talk about similarities and differences in life and work and in the confrontation with theosophy and anthroposophy in these two artists.

Abels family active in journalism, politics
The Eudora News will be running a series of stories profiling families important to the community's history. Eudora resident Cindy Higgins collected and contributed the family histories.
Planning to settle in California, the J. M. Abels family, originally from Alsace-Lorraine and Bremen in Germany, instead came to Eudora in 1859. Son Henry Abels said when his family traveled to Eudora by boat from New Orleans, the stern wheeler boat stopped in St. Louis, and Caroline Schneider boarded on her trip to Eudora to meet her fiance, Charles Lothholz. At Booneville, Mo., August Gabriel also got on the boat to come to Douglas County. Lothholz met the boat at Kansas City to bring his soon-to-be bride by stagecoach to Eudora. The Kansas River was in flood stage with a swift current and driftwood, causing the captain to tie up at Shawnee. Camping Indians, Abels said, yelled wildly and the coyotes howled, frightening the boat passengers. When the Abels family arrived June 4 and left the boat at the mouth of the Wakarusa River, most of the town met them, including Charles Lothholz and his bride, Charles Achning, Fred Pilla, Charles Durr, A. Summerfield, Anton Getker, a Schuricht, Peter Hartig, Prang Vogel, a Meyer, a Deichmann, and others. Henry married Louisa Fieldler on March 4, 1868, and was a Eudora postmaster for 16 years. Their children were Will, Benjamin, Lydia, Ollie, Mrs. George Seybold, Mrs. Homer White, and Mrs. Carl Lundberg. Henry Abels' brother, Ernst Jakob Heinrich "Ernest," born in New Orleans, was 6 years old when the family came to homestead on the first quarter section in Johnson County along what is now old Kansas Highway 10. Ernest married his neighbor, Rosena Eisele. Their first child, Alfred, died at age one when his high chair turned over and his head hit the ground. Their other children were Karl, Ester, Ludwig Arthur, Edwin Friedrich, and Johannes Heinrich. Edwin, born September 15, 1891, married Marie Robinson, daughter of W.H. Robinson; became editor of the Lawrence Outlook (originally called Douglas County Republican); and served four terms (House, 1937; Senate, 1939-1947) in the Kansas Legislature.

Moore Memoirs is a book written by Tay Moore. It is an in-depth look at a boy becoming a young man in Frederick, Maryland, a compilation of true life short stories that will have you in tears! Read our interview with Tay!
Even Moore Memoirs is the second volume of Moore’s book series Moore Memoirs. It’s a book of short stories on Moore’s upbringing. It’s an uncut, humorous, page turner that details childhood adventures in the city. Both books highlight pivotal points in Tay’s life while growing up in Frederick with his own comedic twist.
Why did you write Moore Memoirs?
I wrote my book because I would always tell people these stories and nobody believed crazy things like this happened. I think Fred is a unique place that only some things happen and we love like 4th of July in Bakers Park or the Frederick Fair fashion show!
I was born and raised in Frederick. Grew up right on 40, went to Hillcrest, West Frederick, and graduated Frederick High in 2007. I am Frederick.
Frederick is my heart. If you’re not from here, you wouldn’t understand how tight the community is. Frederick is a melting pot of so many things.
I Am Frederick.
On his writing:
How long have you been a writer?
I’ve been writing my whole life. I started writing for the Frederick High newspaper and even got my own column called Ask Tay.
The Ask Tay column was created because I didn’t want to write boring stories. People wanted to hear my opinion so they set up a box in the library for questions. I remember the first week the box was stuffed.
Why do you write?
I write because when I tried to rap when I was young I got tongue tied and kept forgetting the lyrics. And because I want America to go back to reading again!! #MakeAmericaReadAgain
I would tell young authors stay true to your art and your story.
About Even Moore Memoirs:
What would you tell the reader who’s interested in reading your book? What can they expect?
They can expect a lot of nostalgia because these are events that most people can connect with. They might’ve thought they were the only one going through a situation but I did too! And here is my funny twist to it.
Favorite story would be either “You Don’t Got the Juice Like that” or “B.B. Bullets Don’t Got No Names.”
What advice do you have to young aspiring authors?
I would tell young authors stay true to your art and your story. Never rush anything. Remember this your baby and will be around way longer than you.
Support our young, local authors! Purchase Even Moore Memoirs here!

The Department had a good collection of Library books which have in the General Library as part of the centralization process. The Department of History is attached to the PG Department of Economics. There is only one full time faculty in the Department. Many students of the Department have established themselves in various sectors, especially as accomplished teachers in various H.S.

- Promote studies in history, society and culture of Maharashtra in general and Maratha history in particular
- Empower students to cope with the challenges of globalization by instilling in them a life-long passion for learning about the past. The knowledge about the interconnections between the global, national, regional and local history will equip the students to face the challenges with confidence.
Core Values of the Department:

Loving Lucas by Lisa Marie Kiefer Subgenre/Themes: m/m erotic romance, contemporary Length: Novella Format: audio book Rating: **** Available from Dreamspinner Press
I'm pretty new to m/m romance and this book makes a good introduction to it. It's a sweet love story with believeable, likeable characters and well written sex scenes. It's the story of a former teacher named Lucas who is haunted by his memories of being assaulted by a deluded lovesick pupil. Nicholas, the local sheriff, befriends Lucas and obviously wants to be more than friends, but Lucas pushes him away, having been rejected by his last boyfriend because of his scars from the assault. Fortunately, Nicholas is nothing if he's not persistant. I got really caught up in the story and listened to it all in one go. I especially enjoyed reading (or rather hearing) about Lucus' decision to cease to be a victim and take control of his life. I give it four stars, the highest rating I've given out so far in this challenge.

Your First Year is not only an essential "must read" for new teachers, but is also an inspiring reminder to experienced teachers about the nuts and bolts of a classroom that support learning.

Claudine Thevenet was born in Lyon, France on 30th March, 1774. After a traumatic experience of the execution of her two brothers and the French Revolution, she realized the urgent need to re-discover the existence of a good God who loves humanity unconditionally. “Forgive as we forgive”, is the legacy that her two brothers left Claudine before dying. This moment marks a decisive turning point in her life. She was then 19 years old. The words of her brothers left her with deep anguish to seek what best could be done to experience the goodness of God. So, Claudine, together with other young women, began a clandestine apostolate, to relieve the suffering, show charity those left downtrodden, to bring God into their lives, to know and love Him, even before the war ended.
The driving force of her life was the love of God. Claudine dedicated her energy, time and entire life for children and young people who were left ignorant of God. One day at the entrance of the Church of Saint Nizier, she accepted two little girls who were abandoned.
At this moment, with the collaboration of her young companions, the first Providence was established and named the Providence of the Sacred Heart; this was at the end of 1815. To form themselves as one body, give stability and continuity for the work at the Providence, Claudine and her seven companions formed an Association of Sacred Heart of Jesus on 31st July 1816. Fr. Andre Coindre was their spiritual director. On the night between the 5th and 6th of October 1818, Claudine left her old mother, to live in a humble house, with hardly any furniture, a worker, an orphan and a loom for weaving silk. Claudine was hardly aware that she had founded a Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mary. Later she would remark that “It seemed to me that I had launched upon a foolish enterprise without any guarantee of success”.
Claudine’s principal objective was education, with a clear preference for the young and among them the most unfortunate. Her pedagogy was based on love, goodness, preventive, attention to each person, and marked with a family spirit. Claudine lived the experience of God, and she surrendered herself totally to Him. Her last words “How Good God is” indicates the character of this great woman who allowed the Holy Spirit to guide her. Having accomplished her mission on this earth, Claudine entered her heavenly abode on a Friday at 3 o’clock in the afternoon of February 3, 1837, at Fourviere, in France.
Saint Claudine Thevenet was beatified on October 4, 1981 and canonized on March 21, 1993. Both these ceremonies were presided over by Pope John Paul II at Saint Peter’s Square, Vatican City.
