Happy St. Patrick's Day wishes from one of our #signsofjoyandhope and our favorite leprechaun, Sister Shamus Eileen Dwyer, OP!
May you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in your heart!
Be strong and courageous and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD our God is with you. -- 1 Chronicles 28:20
St. Catherine of Siena preached this message far and wide, including to the powers of government and Church, once she ventured from her devout prayer practice bringing her True self to the world in need.
Reflect:
Jesus calls me to be His presence in our world. This is a time to contemplate the unique gifts that God has given me to share with others. What will it take for me to open myself to being all I am meant to be?
