Here’s just a bit of what has transpired here at Sacred Heart on this civic holiday:
A “Saturday schedule,” with Lauds a bit later than usual and Mass a bit earlier…
Prayers for all who labor, and scripture readings that focused on our stewardship of the earth and our dependence upon God…
Rain, rain, and more rain…
Outdoor grilling by Sister Bernadette and Sister Tonette, despite the torrent…
A festive indoor picnic, complete with beach-theme decorations by Sister Priscilla…
Four mission Sisters home for the holiday…
A quick huddle by the Liturgy Committee to schedule our next meeting…
A long pause on the porch of Benet Hall to watch rain splashing onto the lake…
Sister Therese relaxing with a book in the community room…
Sister Eileen and Sister Brigid enjoying a visit…
Sister Magdalena keeping an eye on Kitty B’s needs through the rainstorm…
A wandering, rain-soaked hound dog that we reunited with its owner from one town away…
And now, a tranquil afternoon, filled with the fragrant aroma of leisure. All is quiet, except for the ceaseless cadence of rainfall which is filling, soaking, drenching, saturating, overflowing this dry and thirsty land.
Blessings of rest to all who labor, which is all of us!
