Greetings from Sr. Joanie
Over the past several years, our lives have been significantly impacted by the
Coronavirus. In addition to losing our sense of security and our livelihood, many of us have lost dear friends or family members. We have felt grief, fear, and confusion. It takes time to heal wounds, and it also takes faith that we will pass through these challenging times. We can move from being a victim to being a powerful beacon in the darkness.
Our kindness is a powerful light. The more we extend it, and the more we share it, the brighter it becomes. We can, and we will, illuminate the darkness and create an energy that is so vibrant that it changes the environment.
During these confusing times, be bold in your love and constant in your faith. Together we will pass through the darkness and these challenging times.
I am now offering a retreat on Saturdays at Grand Terrace, from 10am to 1:30pm.
Reservations are required. Additionally, on the 3rd Saturday of each month I will be giving a retreat at St. Lucy’s Priory in Glendora. The time is also from 10am to 1:30pm. Coffee and water and snacks will be provided, but we ask you to please bring a sack lunch. A “Love Offering” is appreciated for all retreats. Make checks payable to St. Lucy’s Priory. We do not accept credit cards, only cash or checks.
For more information, or for reservations, please call 909-783-4121 (land line) or text 626-210-9017 (cell) or Email me at sisterbutterfly @sbcglobal.net
When we come together, we empower each other.
May you be blessed in abundance,
Sr. Joan Marie Sasse O.S.B.
