Celebrating Theresa's Feast Day

Imagine over 2500 sisters celebrating a death anniversary - the 136th anniversary of Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger! School Sisters of Notre Dame gathered last week in 34 countries to pray and to celebrate the life of our Foundress, whose spirit lives on in each of us! Hers was a vision for unity, wholeness and solidarity, Jesus' dream of ONENESS. Remembering her fearlessness encourages us to be audaciously hopeful. Love cannot wait... As she knew the empowering love of God, we too sense love's urgency. We weave connectedness through education, through dialogue, through active contemplation. It is God's love that sends us and accompanies us. If God's love took over your life, what would that mean and what would you be doing?
