MTS 2014, Week 2

We saw this picture of the sisters enjoying a break between classes at Summit and remembered the days when we had the MTS here in Lufkin. We went through a lot of snacks!! Of course you need to keep your strength up during such an intense program. At least that was our excuse! It\’s nice to see that the tradition continues at Summit, as we see Sr. Bernadette Marie here snacking on something. We pray that this week\’s round of classes (theology with Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP of our own southern Dominican province) goes well. Please do check out Summit\’s blog to see more great pictures and news.

More of the MTS 2014

Looks like Sr. Bernadette Marie–and other sisters–are making good use of their cameras while at the MTS program in Summit! We enjoy seeing the pictures on Summit\’s blog but we hope to see some of the MTS from Sr. Bernadette Marie\’s perspective when she returns home…and hearing about all the things she learned too.

Pentecost 2014

Blessed Pentecost to all!
May the Holy Spirit descend upon you in sevenfold gifts today! 
Please join us in praying for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the whole world! We will have our usual drawing of \”gifts\” and \”fruits\” from the Holy Spirit later today…pray that the Spirit gives each of us what we really need at this time. (Actually, the Spirit always does this, but pray that we will each recognize and acknowledge our needs!!) For anyone who is unsure what we are speaking about, we each draw a holy card with a gift and a fruit of the Holy Spirit printed on the back (for example, Fortitude and Peace, or Wisdom and Self-Control, etc., etc.) and that is supposed to be the special gift/fruit of the Holy Spirit for each sister to guide her through the coming year. So do keep us in prayer, and know that we are praying for all of you as well!
