Yes, would you believe? I am still wearing mittens. It is that COLD! AND this is MAY!!!! The other evening the weather man (it was a man) suggested that, if you had planted, he would advise you cover the plants for fear the frost would damage them!!!
I just returned from a community meeting...yes, another one, but I love them, cause I get to see the sisters....and chat and catch up. At the meeting we received such good news from our Vocation Director. We have quite a number of possible "joiners" of which about six are what we call pre-postulants, the first phase to joining our community.
What great news! New members in the making! We so much want to have women join us on this
journey of prayer, community, and service. The Church NEEDS more of us, not just more priests, but more sisters as well. We make such a difference in our Church.
I would ask you to join me in prayer for these women that are beginning their journey to SSM...the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother....that's wonderful us! Thank you, Lord....and keep them coming!
How about you? Do you feel God inviting you to this way of life. Pray, pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and talk to a sister to shed light on our way of life.
Or you could get info from the web. Here are a couple of our SSM websites:
