St.
Anne's Parish in Milwaukee was always blessed with committed, wholesome
and prayerful priests and sisters. Often, there was mention of the
priesthood and a deep esteem for this vocation. The great need for
missionaries throughout the world was resented as an opportunity and
challenge to spread the Gospel and the Good News of salvation. Stories
of missionaries in the period 1900-1940 were fascinating and inspiring
to me. First
Fridays and prayers to the Sacred Heart meant a lot to me. The personal
love of God for each person - the care and concern of this love through
the Sacred Heart, made God a real and close friend to me and every
person. What
it means to me to be an SCJ develops and matures through the years.
Today it means being sent to God's people in Texas, being present where
they are, sharing with them their dreams, hopes, visions, joys, losses,
pain and suffering. A religious family brings the spiritual dynamics of Christ’s love for us by inspiring us to have the same love, respect, acceptance and concern for each other. This dynamic motivates us to bring this experience to our ministries. |
