Many of us in religious life have connections to sisters
from various congregations around the world. Since there are less people
entering each congregation/community, many of participate in intercommunity
formation programs where we have the opportunity to meet and network with other
sisters. Also I am a member of the Core Team for Giving Voice (a group of
younger women religious) and through that organization I meet many other
sisters from various orders and places in our country and our world.
I also have to admit each day I log onto Facebook to see
what's happening with many of these sisters and my other friends from all over.
Today, I noted that my friend Sr. Nichole Trahan, S.M. (a Marianist Sister)
wrote a great quote about the importance of our words and actions. So I'm going
to use part of her quote on our blog today.
The Importance of Word and Actions
No matter our particular job or ministry, we teach by our
very presence in the world - people learn from us whether we realize it or not.
The question is what are we teaching by our words & actions?
Today is the Feast Day of St. Robert Bellarmine,
S.J. May we learn from the great teacher
and theologian how to teach (in word and deed) with love.
My words and actions need to show love, peace,
reconciliation and compassion-That is what Angela modeled and I have vowed to
follow in her footsteps so I better keep trying harder to live out her words
and actions along with St. Robert Bellarmine’s.
I always knew his name because my cousins attended this grammar school
in Bayside Queens.
Blessings to all,
Sr. Jeannie
