How wonderful for these young women to be able to come to our Motherhouse and experience such joy even for a couple of days. God is truly working through you to touch the lives of others.

(Yes, the winter weather here in WI is providing plentiful examples of this symmetrical wonder!) Our Sisters' stories, wisdom and wit reveal God's marvelous ways of leading and waiting for response. Thanks again, Sister Marcolette, for being one of those great tellers of truth. The mystery of God’s action in each person’s life is as varied and complex as the snowflake.

The laughter and conversation around the fire in the boathouse set a nice tone for sharing our vocation stories. There are so many options regarding life choices for women in today's society. Some questions that seem central to the discernment process include: "What would make your heart sing?" "What is worth your life's investment?" I commend Marie and Heather for taking steps along the journey, and Sister Mary Ann and Sister Julie Ann for providing such supportive guidance.

It also touched my heart how welcoming and kind everyone was especially Sister Mary Ann and Sister Julie Ann. Everyone was so eager to teach us about themselves and hear/learn about us and our goals.
