February is
officially coming to its end! This year it started with the threat from Punxsutawney
Phil of six more weeks of cold weather.
In the lovely city of St. Louis, the month of February concludes with
the initial sights of spring, the blooming of beautiful flowers like jonquils
and crocuses and the last day of month ends with the festive Mardi Gras.
During the
shortest month of the year, we experienced amazing insight regarding our vows
of celibacy, poverty and psychosexual development. It has been an intense month
with various invitations to go within and continue our spiritual and personal
growth.
Following
are some of the highlights of the month!
We had the great opportunity to enjoy a delightful meal and intimate conversation with members of our Dominican family! We are very grateful to Br. Charlie Bouchard and Br. Carl Joseph Paustian along with the dynamic insight of Dominican Sisters of Sparkill Sr. Paulette Patritti and Sr. Mary Jane Bookstaver.
February provided some very intense ICN speakers and insights! While the majority of our time was focused on our internal work, we did have a few moments to celebrate our comradery and friendship.
