2. Mary Elliott
Her husband entrusted his heart to her Prov. 31:11
“The wife of Edmund Rice. She enters his life as a significant figure and leaves tragically four years later. Leaving Edmund a widower and father of their special daughter Mary who was born prematurely with a disability. Edmund had been very devoted to his wife Mary and felt her loss keenly.”
Loving relationships shape us. Sorrow and suffering soften his prayerful heart.
Such a tender and compassionate heart is moved with pity for others he saw around him, the poor, prisoners, and sick in the hospitals.
Edmund Rice dominates the central icon panel. The spiral is symbolic of God, the Creator. The flames represent the Holy Spirit. Rings of fire surround the haloes of Mary and the baby Jesus. Mary looks at us while Jesus has turned to look at Edmund.
