“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 [...]

“The ascension of Christ is our elevation. Hope for the body is also invited where the glory of the Head preceded us.

All people long to give their lives and hearts to something that really matters. For each Sister of Notre Dame, at some moment, that something became a Someone. The core of who we are as Sisters of Notre Dame lies in our deep relationship with God, who is both compassionate love and mystery. Our spiritual [...]
Holding the Tension
Posted in reflections, Vocation, tagged Calling, Christians, discernment, Formation, Mission, patience, reflections on February 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »
An insightful meditation on being patient with the now and not yet: “Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient on everything; to reach the end without delay. We would like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. [...]

Back in January those of us in formation in the SND Congregation got together in Toledo, OH for a weekend of prayer, instruction and plain old socializing. One of the most memorable days there was a visit to the “Big House”, otherwise known as the Provincial Center. It was a joy visiting with the many [...]

As we begin this hope-filled New Year, I thought it would be beneficial to write about responding to God’s call in our lives. One of my favorite bible stories on this subject is the story of Samuel’s call (1 Samuel 3:1-10, 19-20). God had to call Samuel’s name several times before he identified that the [...]

Our Foundress and first Sisters were social mystics, women rooted in God and sent on a mission to help poor children. Time has not dimmed the witness of their lives…lives that testify that authentic prayer leads to care of the most vulnerable and action on behalf of justice.
