I don’t think I’m alone in saying I’m so proud of Sisters Marella and Lorna for undertaking the trip to Belgium and the momentous task of teaching so many music concepts in so short a time. They were so unselfish in accepting this challenge. What an example for all of us. Though Sister Lorna did the actual teaching, Sister Marella was her support and needed companion.

How wonderful that you could reach beyond our U.S. borders to enliven the teaching of music. Thank you for your willingness to continue to inspire hope and new beginnings in music and in life.

As I watched some of the inauguration footage, I was reminded again of the need to reach out to our neighbors here and beyond. Our Catholic Social Teaching is an essential part of our Catholic faith.

Thank you, Sisters, for your selfless modeling of being willing to go beyond your strength to share your gifts with others.

Thank you, Sister Lorna and Sister Marella, for the commitment and witness to the good of life and all people through music. Music is the language of the soul that everyone can relate to and understand.
Beyond words, people contribute to the meaning of life. During this time of the Christian Unity Octave I am reminded that it is necessary to focus on the goodness of each person. It is my prayer that there will be a growing respect and reverence for each person. Hope will grow as belief and trust in another grows. Prayer is the language that will bring unity to all people.
