Sister Joan Frame (formerly Sister Ann Pierre)
...respectively. In a way, Joan seemed destined to be here, for she sent to archives a postcard of the St. Anne Chapel, which her mother had received in 1910 from a cousin, when the mother was just 7 years old!

Thanksgiving Reflection
If you Google “thanksgiving day” as I did, be prepared for a wide variety of articles, Wikipedia entries and “further references.” What got me onto “Googling” was feeling so disturbed by the violent attacks in Paris as I shopped for Thanksgiving cards. I just couldn’t reconcile the two realities — my feelings about hatred begetting violence and gratitude evoking thanksgiving. What freed me to get a few thoughts down for this reflection? A memory, a reading and a prayer …...

...stuff. My faith is strong. I made the best decision of my life when I entered the Sisters of Providence 82 years ago.” Cake, 100 birthday decorated cookies, cupcakes, punch and snacks were served to everyone.

This baby relied on the shepherds to wait for his birth. And this baby relied on his disciples...

International Women’s Day, March 8
...all women? Some of them are well known; others are known only in smaller circles. I could write a letter, send an e-card or make a phone call to thank someone for their efforts. Maybe they are girls/women who have died, but have made a significant difference in my life or in the lives of all women. I can still thank them or honor them in some way. Lastly, how do I place the Divine Light shining within me, not...
Dare to be merciful
...Year of Mercy. The gift came from Sister Barbara Bluntzer. While a guest at Corbe House, she gave each of us a lovely prayer card of “Pope Francis’ Prayer for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.” I had a difficult time responding to the requests. I discovered I didn’t have many thoughts about mercy. To tell the truth, I have never really thought about or prayed with the mercy word in “works of love, mercy and justice.” The blog reflection was...
Reaching out as mercy
...cross on the forehead. Greets the residents. Asks them how they are. If someone is not in the dining area, he stops by their room to check in. If someone wishes to speak with him one-on-one, he welcomes it.
