Sister Mary Mundy
...in this room right now, in the rain this afternoon, in a pastoral visit I had yesterday, in the sipping of coffee with a friend this morning. It is God’s presence in the conversations. I do see an importance in saying prayers with others and uniting our voices, however. I think gesture and ritual are important, too. But, I think living is prayer…or at least can be. I see God in the sunrise and the awakening dawn while facing east...
Election and inauguration reflections
...was delighted and excited about the election of Barach [sic] Obama as President. It was long overdue. I wish him the best. He has my support and prayers.

Sister Marsha Speth
...we were heavily “religious” for that time. Traditional grace before meals and bedtime prayers for us children were the extent of faith expressions at home.

We prayed the rosary together and then spent the rest of the time in quiet prayer and spiritual reading. I loved this shared time with my father...

...the prayers and reading the Scripture and taking on my faith as an adult. I was in a wonderful parish community, — the same parish I was raised in, St. Joan of Arc in Indianapolis,” she said. “I was coming back into the Church and getting pretty excited about that.

Sister Angela Rose Halpin
...Sister Ann. “The service she gave to so many was supported by her life of prayer. When she retired to the Woods, she had more time to spend in prayer. She spent hours in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, and she was faithful to joining the sisters for morning and evening prayers,” said Sister Ann. “When I was pondering how to close these reflections on the life of Sister Angela Rose, I could almost feel her nudge — her not-so-gentle nudge...

Also useful is Cletus Wessels’ “Jesus in the New Universe Story.” Theologians Karl Rahner and Bruno Barnhart, OSB,...
