Each year on the anniversary of her profession, each Sister stands in the middle of choir and sings the Suscipe with the other professed nuns of the community.
The Suscipe is taken from Psalm 119:116 (If you uphold me by your promise, I shall live; let my hopes not be in vain) to which the Gloria Patri is added. This verse is first sung by each professed nun at the time of her First Profession of Vows.
It's both a petition and a prayer to our heavenly Father to help sustain each of us individually (and as a community) by His providence and grace.
Please remember each of us in your prayers, as remember all of you in ours. God bless you!
