This
Year’s LENT: Fast (Food) Forty Days or Fast (Quick!) Forty Days?
It has been a while
since I have sent an e-newsletter. I’ve
been under the weather for well over a week, and I’ve noticed several of our Sisters
have too. …but life goes on, and so does
Lent!
We are soon coming to
the end of the 40 days of Lent – Holy Week is next week! As Sr. Kathy and I shared our reflections this
morning during prayer, it seemed to the two of us that this has been a ‘fast’
Lenten Season. Hopefully it has not been
too fast, and there has been a deepening of relationship with God through
prayer and in action. She and I have used a Lenten Reflection book that
calls us not only to prayer, reflection and sharing, but challenges to action
each day. I have found this very
rewarding, yet I know there is always room for growth – especially in deepening
my relationship with God! God is ever-present
and loving in our lives. We often know
that in our minds – and maybe even in our hearts, but sometimes we don’t know
show it in our actions. So, after this dawning
realization that next week is Holy Week already, how can we still make this
Lent a time to deepen our relationship with God? Let’s do it!
Palm Sunday – April 9, 2017 – Is Also ‘Second’ Sunday!
Are you discerning a
call to religious life?
Do you want to talk to
someone about your vocation?
The second
Sunday of each month is set aside for you!
You are invited to spend
the day with us,
and pray, worship, eat,
play and meet with the
Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids.
The next ‘Second Sunday’ is April 9th – Palm
Sunday! Some of you have indicated that you are coming this Sunday! I
look forward to seeing/meeting you! Still
others have indicated that you’d be here on the second Sunday in May. That’s great!
Please know that arrangements can also be made for other days or weekends
I
continue to pray for each one of you by name in my daily prayers. The Sisters also pray for you daily! Please know that we do not pray
that you will enter with us –
(although I would personally love that)! 😉
We pray with and for women who are
discerning their life vocation, and then allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to
God’s dream for you – for only God knows where you
can best live your Baptismal call to a holy life.
