Favorite Verse in the Holy Rule: Prologue, v. 15 “Is there anyone here who longs for life and desires to see good days?”
The JOY of being a being a Benedictine Sister in this community: This community is an extension to my family. We support, love and care for one another. This way of life grounds me…it reminds me to whom I belong and what I am called to be in life. The act of praying together in community strengthens me to minister to special needs children, which at times can be very challenging, but so very rewarding.
