;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; When I was a small child I would sometimes sigh and think ‘I want to go home,’ even though I was home in New Orleans, the city of my birth, my family, my friends, my life. ;at ongoing restlessness eventually moved me to leave my career as a CPA at a small public accounting firm in New Orleans to pursue two graduate degrees in counseling and pastoral studies at Loyola University. And then Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans on August 29, 2005, changing forever the beautiful city I had loved. My spirit yearned even more for peace and wholeness. I knew that God would lead me wherever home was to be for me, and as I prayed I felt called to religious life. I found the web site for the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, Minnesota, and was drawn to their rich prayer life, their strong sense of community, their constant striving for a life of balance centered in God. I visited them for two weeks that summer, came back for three weeks in December to experience the cold and snow, and knew my journey of 41 years and 1500 miles was over. I was home. I became an A;liate in December 2008 and entered the Duluth Benedictine Community as a Postulant in February 2010, became a Novice that August, and made my First Monastic Profession a year later in August 2011. If you are discerning a call to religious life, remember that the deepest desires of your heart are what God wants for you as well. Trust in God. I did!”
