SPIRIT PRAYER
by Sr. Magdala Marie Gilbert, OSP

Spirit of the Living God, look with love and compassion on us, your creation.  Open our hearts and minds to see how we can serve you more.  The early Christians were recognized immediately by their deep and abiding love for one another.  O Holy Spirit, assist us to live so that people will look upon us with that same recognition.  We ask for a spirit of abandonment to Divine Providence today and every day.  We ask the intercession of Mary, Our Mother, and all of our patron Saints to intercede for us.  We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Summer 2010 is upon us.  We tend to think of the summer as the time for rest and relaxation for most people.  The Oblate annals indicate, however, that as late as 1866, Saint Frances Academy students were not dismissed for summer vacation until mid-July!  The community was founded in the summer, so this month the Heritage link highlights people relevant to the establishment of the Congregation on July 2, 1829.

Check out the pictures from our June 2010 Discernment Weekend.  Monica and Chikeia enjoyed their time with us, and we enjoyed them.  Look for news on Fall 2010 Come and See Weekend soon.  Another final profession took place on Friday July 16, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  Learn about the journey of Sister Canisius Hansberry, OSP, by reading her Vocation Story.  Congratulations to Sister Canisius! 









We also celebrate our jubilarians: Sister Anthony Garnier, OSP [75 years]; Sister Timothy Howard, OSP and Sister Maris Stella Noriega, OSP [60 years]; Sister Lorraine George, OSP, Sister Soledad Gutiérrez, OSP and Sister Veronica de los Santos, OSP [50 years].  We salute you for your 300+ years of service to God’s people.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, you can email me directly at ospvocations@oblatesisters.com.  You can also click on Ask the question (which goes directly to my email address).  May the Holy Spirit continue to be your guide as you discern God’s will for your life.
