Just a quick update, as the sisters hold their weekly staff meeting...
This week has been wonderful so far--very peaceful and comfortable. I am enjoying my time with the sisters and learning more and more about their ministries and how they live . They offer housing for student groups who come to work with Habitat for Humanity or other house-building organizations. In the evenings, they offer guest speakers or reflections for the students as well. It is really a great program.
So a few of the things I have learned this week:
1. Liturgical dance is lovely when done well. (Who knew??)
2. The world is very small. (I keep meeting people that I have known in other places at different times!)
3. Community living is great but not without its challenges.
That's all for now. More to come when I get a chance!
About Me
- Sister Juliet, RSCJ
- In 2009, I discerned a call to religious life in Society of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ). Since then, my life has been a journey of joy and amazing experiences and friendships. Here is the story of some of them! The Society was founded in revolutionary France over 200 years ago, by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. It was brought to North America by St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in 1818. What attracted me to the RSCJ? Above all, from the moment I encountered the Society, I felt at home. My passion for education and for all humanity, my capacity for for relating to people and for compassion, these things and so much more let me know that I was finally "home." Since then, I have learned more and more about the Sacred Heart of Jesus and listening for God's heartbeat in the world.
