The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth announced (here) the deaths of Sister Paula Merrill, SCN and School Sister of Saint Francis Margaret Held. Both Sisters were Nurse Practitioners in Durant, Mississippi and were found dead in their home there. According to this article in America Magazine, early reports indicate that the Sisters were victims of robbers, as their home was broken into and their car was stolen.
Please pray for them, for their religious communities and their families, for those with whom and for whom they ministered, and for the perpetrators of this act of violence.
Eternal rest grant unto Sister Margaret and Sister Paula, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
