Easter reminds us that death is not the end
A first century ancient tomb with the stone rolled aside in Israel, similar to the type of resting place that Jesus would have been buried in. Who would you honor during Tomb Sweeping Day? During a recent visit with our sisters in Taiwan, I had a new experience that touched me very deeply. The Taiwanese people annually observe “Tomb Sweeping Day.” During this national holiday, families visit the tombs of their family members to clean the area, arrange bouquets of...
The Days of Our Waiting – Advent 2010
...words before me during the days of Advent – the days our waiting readies us for the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Waiting – as a practice of prayer – differs from other waiting times like standing in line, waiting for the mail to come, waiting for the timer on the microwave to ring. Waiting – as a practice of prayer – can be daily moments of quiet sitting with the intention of deepening our capacity to receive God’s giving, revealing...

We still travel through Different Doorways Different scenes But in the heart Of things stand...

April 16, 2023: Second Sunday of Easter (Sunday of Divine Mercy)
...his name. Reflection “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” This statement of Jesus to Thomas is called “the ninth Beatitude” by some spiritual writers. It’s a consoling thought for all of us present-day Christians who read it, for it applies to us as well. Jesus’ prior question to Thomas could also form a statement of blessing: “Blessed are those who have come to believe.” For Thomas and for us, there is often not immediate belief but...
Recognizing the Feast Day of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
...Welcome’ This service coincided with a formal canonization taking place at the same time in Rome under the direction of Pope Pius XII. When my father inquired if we would need special tickets to get into the church at this time, the policeman said only “all are welcome.” We just looked at each other, smiled and then the four of us walked into St. Patrick’s and participated in an almost day-long service. As I entered, I saw high above the...

Sunday, December 19, 2021: Fourth Sunday of Advent
Gospel – Luke 1:39-45 Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of...
Professing first vows: Sister Su-Hsin Huang: an advertisement changed her life
This article is reprinted from fall 2007 issue of HOPE. In 2002, the United States was just as foreign to Sister Su-Hsin Huang as the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Then, an ad caught her eye and changed her life forever. “One day, I read this message about a summer weekend at the Sisters of Providence,” Sister Su-Hsin recalled, while retrieving and unfolding that very same small ad she carries with her to this day. Then, she read the...
