The Sisters continue working on their masterpieces for our live auction at our February 8th event: An Evening with the Sisters. Previously, we shared a few pictures of the Sacred Hearts piece. It has really progressed over the last week!
January always seems to spring upon us! It is far away and then suddenly we are half way through! This is in no small part because all our love, time, and attention goes to preparing to celebrate our dear Savior's birth, a celebration which is extended well into the new year. This year was no different. In fact, it was probably more so, given that our Sisters made vows on December 27, the feast of John the Beloved, in addition to the usual festivities.
O little ring, you have cost me a lot, what happiness will you bring to soothe tears flowing hot? I have nothing to give you, on my own I am nought,
but my Master’s good wishes I bear as I ought. On December 27, the feast of St. John the Beloved, Sr. Claudia Marie of Our Mother of Mercy and Sr. Mary Perpetua of Our Mother of the Incarnate Word made their First Profession of Vows. Vows are so special to the whole Community; those who are professed renew their dedication, while those who remain in the novitiate look to what lies ahead. We pray for our newly professed Sisters that "the Lord who has begun this good work in them, bring it to fulfillment."
“Apostolic action will proceed from our intimate union with God… We ask Our Lady to share with us the love which enables us to offer our lives every day for Christ and to cooperate with Him in the Salvation of the World” (MSSR Constitutions).
