Dear Sister M Benedicta!
Your humility shines through this gift you shared with me!
Thank you for your simple openness!
Thank you for putting God in tangible terms of realization for me!
Hopefully more of your Sisters will share their witness as well and not hide under bushel baskets!
This takes my breath away...so apt on Pentecost as the Spirit moves!
a grateful reader

Really inspiring set of Youtube clips.

Welcome to our Family, Postulants!!!

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!

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"!

Journey with Mary: Sacrificial Love of Spiritual Motherhood

                Recently, I found a reflection I had written during my first retreat as a postulant. The last conference that had been given was on Spiritual Motherhood. As I approached the 4 th Station where Jesus meets His Sorrowful Mother, this is what struck my heart:                 What is the sacrificial love of a mother?

Could she not have said to Jesus, “You don’t have to do this, there are other ways.
