| Trying out the selfie stick! (everyone in formation w/ Sr Simone) |
Last month, we gathered with others in formation (and our
directors) for a Total Formation weekend. It is a great time for us to share community with our peers in other communities. Sr.
Simone Campbell, SSS presented on Catholic Social Teaching. The weekend was both inspiring and challenging.
For me, the weekend helped me see my own passions in a
different light. Sr. Simone encouraged us to pray the news as we each thumbed
through local newspapers and read articles against the backdrop of Catholic
Social Teaching. In light of all the darkness in the world, this exercise
helped me see glimmers of hope, as well as guide my prayer and action.
Sr. Simone ended the weekend by sharing her 4 virtues for the 21st
century:
1) Have and practice a modicum of joy.
2) Practice holy curiosity.
I want to
know your story—what moves you? What
is your experience?
3) Sacred gossip.
Share what
you have found out.
4) Do your part.
Where are we called to bring hope? Where are you lead when your heart is broken open?
