Miracle Monday - New Sisters in Diocese

To send this card: Pooh Card



Quote for the Day:
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.
St Augustine


Miracle Monday,

So, would you like to know about a very, very wonderful miracle that has happened in our diocese? We have just been blessed with 15 wonderful and holy women who have just joined the Church from a Traditionalist Catholic community.

Here is an article about it from our Catholic newspaper. http://www.dioceseofspokane.org/Communications/IR_2007/ir070507/sisters.htm .

Our community has met some of the sisters and they are really wondeful and holy women - full of joy, courage and open to following fully God's will for them.



Blessings of Peace and all Good,
Sister Patricia



Mini Retreat Theme: Following Jesus with Courage

Courage I think is being open to taking a new pathway if it opens before you.

Imagine you are walking in your beautiful garden. It is early morning, the sun is just starting to rise and send fingers of rosy light onto the path before you. As you walk along you notice that the pathway is going into an area you have never seen before. Hmmm?

Should you follow it? You have never gone that way before. You look ahead and you see that Jesus is ahead of you on this pathway.

A new adventure, a time of discovery for you. Will you continue?

This pathway may be a new way of looking at someone, an insight on a relationship you have been closed to. Ask Jesus today to reveal to you the new path he has opened before you.

Whether it is a path of new prayer, new direction or new hope - go forward with joy and excitement.. because Jesus is going before you.

Meditation: (set your timer for ten minutes)

Prayer when time is completed:

Jesus,
every day
presents new possibilities
of growth.
May I always
be open to your
guidance.
Amen.

I feel the grace God bestowed onto those sisters. The Spirit reached out to them and they heard His Voice. I am overwhelmed by this 'Miracle'. I will be praying for these fifteen ladies who realized and responded. Thank you for sharing such great news. Love you all, Patrice
