“#Gratitude
I am very grateful to the Triune God who wrapped us in his love during these days of meeting. They were days that strengthened me in my vocation and dedication to BE a Bernardine Franciscan Sister. It was a deep and intense experience: formation concerning the charism, retreat, and visits to the offices, St. Joseph Villa, Shenandoah, Mount Carmel, and Chester. In each of these moments, to feel the “burning” of the call to life. I am grateful to each of the Sisters for her fraternal welcome, and also to the Congregational Council, in the person of S. Marilisa, who first talked with me about this meeting, to have provided such a great opportunity. May God bless us and give us the fruit of vocations, as he did with Mother Veronica when she arrived in America. Amen.”
