Written by Sister Regina Robbins, SND In response to: “So what did you do today?” I have often heard folks say reluctantly and with an air of guilt: “Well, nothing really! I just puttered.” It makes me stop and ask if I even know when I am puttering! And I realize that when I come [...]

The Inner Church of Prayer
Posted in Musings, reflections, tagged Calling, reflections on November 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“The word of Christ is that God is love; and if God is love, then we, every one of us, can prove God in us by expressing God in our life. According to the external customs of the different religions, one goes to church, one to the mosque, one to the synagogue, and another to [...]

Last week I attended an informal memorial for a friend who died of cancer at the age of fifty four, leaving his mother, siblings, wife, co-workers and many friends. Those who came to the celebration of Kent’s life brought casseroles, drinks, flowers, and fond memories of Kent. We could enjoy a viewing of photos taken [...]

I observed a wonderful encounter this morning while I was working in my office. My office is across the hall from the copier so I often hear the conversations that take place in the copy room. One of the women who is a contract accountant for our community said to one of our sisters, “I [...]

Listening for the Call

“Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening. I must listen to my life and try to understand what it is truly about—quite apart from what I would like it to be about—or my life will never represent anything real in the world, no matter how earnest my intentions…. Vocation does not mean [...]
On Marinating…

Last year I spent two happy months at Providence House, our place for formation for new Sisters. Not having cooked in about 30 years, I observed my co-Sisters preparing delicious meals. Part of their culinary secrets seemed to be the marinade. Somehow the marinade and the barbeque would transform the menu into something really delectable. [...]
Genuine Reality

The last week here in Southern California we have been able to see the Perseid meteor shower in all its glory. However, my sense is that most folks were content to read about it in the newspaper or see it on the Internet, foregoing the 2:00 a.m. opportunity for the best show. It reminded me [...]
The Sound of Silence
Posted in Gratitude, Musings, Prayer, reflections, tagged God's love, Prayer, reflections, women religious on June 17, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I often notice when I am out in public how little silence there is around me. We talk about various forms of pollution that are destroying our earth, but what about noise pollution! Why are we so afraid of silence? It used to be that you could stand in line in the bank in silence, [...]
