Fifth Week of Lent

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I wish to share with you again a message of Lent from our Country Leader, Sister Rose Marie:

“A gospel that doesn’t unsettle,
a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin,
a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin of the society
in which it is being proclaimed,
            what gospel is that?”
   (Archbishop Oscar Romero; Murdered March 24, 1980)

“The Good News can be communicated only by a person
who lives it to such an extent that she also becomes
            the message.”
                                    (Constitutions, Sisters of Bon Secours of Paris #13)

How will I live this gospel; be this message today?
Prayers and blessings as we continue our Lenten journey.

Peace,
Rosie
