But it gave me an opportunity to talk about St. Philippine Duchesne, whose feast day was on Monday. Enjoy! While people were listening to Jesus speak,. He proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem. Would appear there immediately.

Community and Love. The unexpected twists and turns of a becoming a nun. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. I'm teaching a course tonight on the Trinity- that great mystery that is at the heart of Christianity and Christian life. I'm a little nervous because it's hard to talk about something so big and so bound up in the unknown. But Pseudo-Dionysius helps, with his hymn at the beginning of "The Mystical Theology.". Higher than any being,. Any divinity, any goodness! In the wisdom of heaven! I tell my studen...

Community and Love. The unexpected twists and turns of a becoming a nun. Monday, February 3, 2014. It has been way too long since I've posted! Today I preached for our mid-day prayer service, an impossible gospel! And so I would like to share my preaching here. Today's gospel reading was Mark 5:1-20, the healing of the Gerasene demoniac, but I also talk about yesterday's gospel, the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Both readings can be found at the USCCB's website. How can the response be so differen...

Community and Love. The unexpected twists and turns of a becoming a nun. Monday, July 7, 2014. Celebrating together a holy life. Life can get going so fast- lately, I've been feeling the need to slow down, to rest and pray, to just be. On an academic schedule, that peacefulness is what summers are sometimes (definitely not always) about. I am grateful to have the next four weeks to work on projects that can't get done in the midst of classes, to rest, and to be. Sister Juliet, RSCJ. Life sometimes leads ...
