Community



•A few religious men to converse with thee of God and his Testament; to visit thee on days of solemnity; to strengthen thee in the Testaments of God, and the narratives of the Scriptures.
 
Find spiritual communion with those in the Order and with holy Christians who seek union with God.  Join with the community of merciful Christian Sisters and Brothers on holy feasts and whenever possible for prayer and celebration.  Share the Faith you have with others.  Build one another up in Faith, Hope and Charity and in Poverty of spirit, Purity of heart, and Obedience to God through the lessons in Sacred Scripture.

Reflection:  We can’t often get together, except for Cait and I, but even at a distance, we can be together on line or via Skype and email.  I have found the simple knowledge that others are out there trying to live out our vocation of mercy has helped me get through some tough times.  And we are always available by phone to encourage, commiserate, and build each other up.  Some of the best times have included gales of hysterical laughter.  Ask Sr. Peggy about “The Bishop on the Roof” song!
