Jubilees
During these months, we remember and are grateful for our Sisters who are celebrating their 60th, 50th, and 25th Anniversaries. We thank God for the many years of fidelity and commitment.
Many people look upon you and wonder why you do what you do. The reasons and motives for going beyond the law in your commitment to Christ are not so obvious to the world. They come from deep inside you. No one can hire or compel another person to love. This kind of living is always voluntary.
When you voiced your commitment to Christ so many years ago, you surrendered your life to Him. God has been your companion throughout your journey. As you journeyed with him, your relationship grew stronger and your love for His poor grew.
We thank you for the years of service. As you continue to labor in the vineyard, our prayers are with you. May you persevere in your vocation and be filled with His Spirit.
