Summer Happenings August 2021 Issue #12 Reflections from the Hill Occasional Outreach from the Benedictine Sisters SUMMER HAPPENINGS “Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!”...Thank you, Sr. Bernice. Great teaching in this reflection. 🙏🏽
At the opening of the 2018 Conference of International Benedictines’ Symposium in Rome, each Benedictine region of the world brought a cloth that represented their region. At the end of the Symposium, each region was given a cloth from a different region and was asked to pray for that region until the next Symposium in 2022. Our region (United States, Canada, and Mexico) was given the cloth from Region 7 - Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
The cloth has been circulating to each Benedictine Community in our Region since the 2018 Symposium and the Benedictine Sisters of Boerne just received it! The cloth is displayed in St. Scholastica Chapel, and we are lifting our fellow Sisters in Region 7 in our daily prayers. We will be forwarding the cloth to the Benedictine Sisters in Puerto Rico in August.
Beautiful!
The Benedictine Sisters will be celebrating St. Benedict's Feast Day today with a special morning prayer, Mass and Celebration of the Eucharist.
Happy Feast Day Sisters! We are praying and thinking of you 💞
