In the Service of Mercy
- 2020/04/25 -
In the frame of the familiar faces of
our St. Charles community we came together for a festive service in the
evening of Saturday, April 25 to celebrate the prolongation of the
religious vows of our Sister M. Gabriela for another year.
Benedictine Father Matthias Karl from
the Dormition Abbey, whose Bavarian homeland, the bishopric of
Ratisbon, is the same as Sister M. Gabriela's, preached as a brother for
his sisters. His topic was the frequent unusual call coming from God
and addressed to each of us, one's departure into a new life in the
community of a religious order with its light-flooded sides, but also
with many a lonely hour in which, however, one feels even more supported
by God's presence.
Our fellow sister had asked for a
special selection of songs for this service, and the bell-like singing
of the choir of our community filled our chapel of St. Charles:
We wish our dear fellow sister
joy, persistence, and the support of the Holy Spirit
on her way in Christ's succession
in our community of St. Charles Borromeo.

Ad multos annos!
