the services the sisters of st. Joseph
provide, i gained a new appreication
of how much i’ve been given—not
just in terms of material goods, but
health, educational opportunities,
and the love and support of a strong
family. i also saw up close just how
much need there
is in the world. i
resolved to make a
priority of incorporating the virtues
of justice and peace
into my daily life.
it starts with the individual—me—
and then flows from me to others by
my actions.
The opportunity to be part of
a community of women who work
for the common good of all people
out of sheer love was an experience
i will never forget. To live with the
sisters, interact with them, and see
that they are a family were essential
to my understanding of religious
life, and to be a part of an experience like this is something anyone
“
considering religious life should try.
“Living out your true vocation
is being the best version of your-
self,” sisters donna and Marilyn
explained. The week with the sisters
gave me a sense of what it means to
be the best version of myself, which
may not be the same
for someone else, but
for all of us it involves
something greater
than ourselves.
For the sisters of
st. Joseph it involves
living lives of service, uniting neigh-
bor to neighbor and neighbor to God,
assisting all people without distinc-
tion, and reflecting daily on where
God is in their lives.
Above all, my time with the
sisters of st. Joseph of Rochester
allowed me to understand that the
women and men who have been
called to religious life strive daily to
build the kingdom of God and live
out the mission of Jesus, who is hope
to all. =
Living out your
true vocation is
being the best
version of yourself.”
