Amalia Frances Rose Streitel aka Mother Frances Streitel, Foundress of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, and, as a Maria Stern Franciscan, known as Sister Angela.Let’s return to the assignments given to Sister Angela as a Maria Stern Franciscan. On the October 10 blog I spoke about her 1871 assignment to St. Elizabeth’s Home for Orphans in Wuerzburg. She was there not even a year when the Board of Directors of the Marian Institute, also in Wuerzburg, requested of her superior general to transfer her to this institution, as Sister Angela’s administrative abilities were exceptional and outsiders recognized this. The Marian Institute was in complete disarray economically and otherwise. Sister Angela became very active in preparing herself for the transfer. Very close to the transaction being completed, however, one of the priests involved in the request accepted another person for the position, causing significant pain to Sister Angela. What do you think Sister Angela’s reaction was? Have you ever had a Board of Directors or a future employer seek you out, ask you to prepare to take a position and all of a sudden everything mysteriously changed—someone else was hired less qualified, less experienced, and far less competent than you?
