Greetings!

On May 18, 2003, I was given the tremendous grace to profess my perpetual vows at my home parish in Loreauville, Louisiana. Up to now, our sisters have always professed their vows at our motherhouse in Boston. Yet, after reflecting on the journey I have made in following the call to religious life, I realized that God never failed to go "out of his way" to pursue me with his love. His generosity flowed out to me especially through the courageous and faith-filled witness of other young people who reached beyond what they knew so that I might see how good it is to know the Lord.

May our witness lead others to come to know the Lord and generously respond to his call.

As St. Paul reminds the Corinthians: "Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: 'He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.'" (2 Cor 9:6-9).

"Abroad" is not all that far away.
God is generous, that we might be generous.
My life is found in you, Lord!
