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

Re-born, we are all invited to join with Peter, James and John and cry out in our day: “It is good for us to be here.”  On this Second Sunday of lent, as we reflect on the Transfiguration of Jesus, let … continue reading…
