Blessed Edmund Rice (1762-1844), founder of the Christian
Brothers, was a wealthy merchant in Ireland during the time of the
Penal laws. After the death of his wife he grew closer to God and
"was moved by the Holy Spirit to open his whole heart to Christ
present and appealing to him in the poor. He was given the grace
to respond by identifying through Christ with the poor in order
to evoke in them a deep awareness of God's loving presence."
(Christian Brothers' General Chapter)
