As if you didn’t know this, especially after our Community Days 2009, the recent landmark study on U.S. vocations showed that, with the lived example of professed members, the most significant attractions to us for new members are community and prayer. This study confirmed that our Church and world need women religious whose witness has been the impetus for social change and spiritual renewal throughout history. So, together at Community Days 2009, we affirmed our future to walk into the mystery together with the intention to share our gifts with the world! Please let me know how I can help you, your circles, and your regionals invite other women to join us, to advocate, to midwife an even greater evolution than we have ever known.
Congratulations to our most recently professed. Sister Priscilla Torres responded to an invitation to go out for lunch, to come and pray with us, to a heartfelt invitation to think about religious life. All it took was for one of us to invite her, and look what we, the Church and the world, got in return!
I invite you to let me know how I can help. E-mail jeri.cashman@gmail.com or please call (612) 871-9291 and leave a message! Much love.
