I also belonged to the women’s discernment household which
this community advises. Through the encounters I had with the sisters on campus
my heart was drawn deeper to the Lord, even after my graduation in 2016. Some of the hobbies which I enjoy include running, volleyball,
singing and listening to music. I find a great comparison in sports to the
spiritual life. The same perseverance an athlete uses to train is compatible to
the continuous striving for holiness in our daily lives. As for singing, I have
been able to praise the Lord with song throughout most of my life and it gives
me great joy to continue this. I am so grateful the Lord has brought me this
far in my discernment. I look forward to
seeing how He will continue to form me in His merciful love, so that I too can bring this love to others.
Today, on the Feast of the Birth of Mary, our new postulants entered the postulancy of our American Province of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George! We thank God for the gift of these vocations. Pictured above - on their very first full day in the convent - are (from left) Ashley Vola, Samantha Goodson, Miranda Edgar, Jennifer Clark and Erin Leis. Welcome, Postulants! We Sisters are grateful that you have accepted Christ's invitation to belong totally to Him in our Franciscan community, and we support you wholeheartedly with our prayers and help! If you would like to send a word of welcome and encouragement to these new postulants, we will pass the greetings along to them. Just leave them as a "comment"!
