I believe that the Incarnation of Jesus continues alive daily, when I can experience it as an encounter with Life, God is in that life, you are as my brother, my friend, my fellow, with your gifts, qualities, and certainly also your weaknesses, which make us more human and simultaneously stronger; because this Incarnation is also a maturity process in faith and love.

The importance of intergenerational dialogue

Nov 13, 2019 | Blog, Words for Life

For different reasons, I’ve had many conversations with and about youth in recent weeks. As I continue to meet youth and young adults, I am amazed at the creativity, energy and heart they have. Their ability to generate and a deep desire to transcend. Being with them is life giving to me.

Faith and simplicity in prayer

Nov 6, 2019 | Blog, Words for Life

We can say a lot about the faith of simple people, I had a wonderful experience to prove it, it was for me an example of humility, of faith, of prayer, of true trust in God.

And so it was, so he never learned how to read or write, he could only draw his name, every time with less effort, but it is just that, a drawing, and he is proud to know that it is his signature.

Reflections for Sr. Margaret Nugent by Sr. Alice Holden

The homily was, in my mind, a great tribute to Margaret, to religious life, and a reminder to me of the renewal process we are involved in to celebrate our 150th Jubilee. I wrote a Haiku based on the homily given by Father Jim Rutkowski. Perhaps you would like to reflect on it also.

“I don’t get anything out of going to Mass”

Oct 23, 2019 | Blog, Words for Life

“I don’t get anything out of going to Mass.” Someone once told me, “You get out of going to Mass what you put into it.” This makes more sense with a more informed theology of Eucharist. When we understand Eucharist, and our participation, as the public prayer of the Church, we tend to “get” more out of going to Mass.

Charism? What is That? (Pt. 2)

Oct 9, 2019 | Blog, Words for Life

Thanks for your comments on Words for Life Charism article and for sharing your experiences of having felt that special gift of God through us. Specifically, the charism of the Congregation is “the call to make the love of God as shown in the incarnation a real and tangible presence in the world today.” (Constitution of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Art. #2) What we strive to do in all our actions and our total being is to be Jesus present, real, felt here and now. – here,- where we live and work, and now – in this present moment.
