For
the past 27 years I have had the gift and the joy of being an Associate of the
Redemptoristine Sisters. And even before
I became an associate, I was coming to this monastery on Carmelite feast days
in the late 1980’s. And so both Orders
of sisters have been my friends and spiritual support for many years.
The
witness of all of the sisters in
living a deeply committed contemplative life has been a major source of
strength for me in my life as a contemplative in the world.
The
fidelity of the Redemptoristine sisters in praying
for my many intentions and needs of myself and my family gives me deep
consolation.
The
steadfastness of the sister’s presence
to us together with the friendship with my sister associates is a source of
strength and deep joy for me in the challenge to try to live the Gospel and be
a Living Memorial of Christ the Redeemer in my daily life.
I
feel deep gratitude to God, to each
of the sisters and to my sister associates for this blessed association which
has become such an integral part of my Christian life.
