The end doesn't seem to be so near...


We just learned on Monday that Sr. Gaudentia is being "kicked-off" of hospice -- for the third time!  It's hard to imagine how as sick and frail as she was several months ago that she could be back to her old self. 

Perhaps she took a lesson from our founding Prioress, Mother Leonarda.  When a deacon at St. Vincent Seminary asked her a week before she died what she attributed her success to, she responded, "German stubbornness," which of course was coupled with a strong spritual life.

May we all take an example from these two women of faith and realize that our true strength is found in the Lord.
