It has been a slow spring: our last large snowfall here in Racine Wisconsin occurring on April 16. Now that spring has sprung, it is a time of renewed activity amongst all living creatures: from the birds to the squirrels to the bees. So too amongst the plants and trees: from the flowers springing up, tulips and daffodils and grape hyacinths, to the sprouting of seeds and the bursting buds on trees.
Durante el fin de semana del Día de los Caídos, más de 20 hermanas de 18 comunidades y 9 países se reunieron en Seal Beach, California, para orar y reír con sus compañeras, y seguir adelante con los diálogos entre sectores y comunidades diversas. “A donde vamos, no necesitamos caminos: Mujeres pioneras que llevamos nuestros carismas al futuro”, el retiro dirigido por compañeras en el que religiosas entre los 40 y 49 años de edad participaron en sesiones de oración, meditaciones y conversaciones, comenzó el viernes por la noche con la reflexión sobre la pregunta:
“Where we’re going we don’t need roads: Pioneering Women, Carrying our Charisms into the Future”, the peer-led retreat for women religious between ages 40-49 featured prayer sessions, meditations and discussions, beginning Friday night reflecting on the question: “What are our communities’ charisms? How do our communities’ charisms intersect and work on a global scale?”

"Learning Spanish has been something I have wanted to do for a long time. Being able to communicate with sisters in Spanish would be very helpful in both my Mercy community as well as the Giving Voice community.”

Generativity
Alice Ann O’Neill, SC
In the middle life, generativity is a gift and challenge.
No longer looking to others for guidance,
Rather guiding many.
Don't forget that you can read more reflections by younger women religious in the regular Horizons column on Global Sisters Report.
