Favorite Verse in the Holy Rule: Prologue “Once you have done this, my eyes will be upon you and my ears will listen to your prayers; and even before you ask me, I will say to you, "Here I am.'"
The JOY of being a Benedictine Sister in this community: The awareness that all of us are here for the same purpose: "To seek God." That all of us "listen" to God's word daily as we read and reflect on the Scriptures, pray and work. I especially appreciate the Liturgy of the Hours prayed in common, three times per day.
