Honored to preach for @CWP112716 this weekend on God's call and the undeniable freedom it brings! Check it out at catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/0128…

In today's #Advent meditation, Colleen Gibson, SSJ, reflects on Christmas cards. "What exactly is God calling me to be ready for this Christmas? It’s in answering that question that I ultimately come to the card I want to send." @WanderingNun jesuits.org/stories/2nd-th…

“When we remember, we grieve; we cherish; we give thanks; we hold anger; we process regret; and ultimately, one way or another, we are called into union with God, who is love. In this way, remembrance is, at its core, an act of love,” @WanderingNun writes.

"Home is not a place but a relationship. My home of Tending the Flame is a space where I am fully alive with joy and hope in vowed religious life." @CSSJFed @ssjphila

Also, incredibly blessed to have my mom along for the journey as our cook (& honorary house mother!)

Preaching a 7-day Guided Retreat on the "I am statements" of John's Gospel to a full house at St. Joseph by-the-Sea Retreat House this week. If you could say a prayer for the women making retreat and their dear companion and guide (that's me!), I'd be most appreciative!

I endorse this message from Colleen Gibson @WanderingNun as I finish the last few days of some time away for creative #rest. "Actively choosing such rest is an act of resistance in a culture that demands productivity and directly correlates worth with activity and output."

"Finding rest means facing the pressure to produce & the perception that productivity defines our worth...Part of learning to rest comes from reevaluating the unhealthy standards we've set for ourselves." @TheNapMinistry #ChristineFirerHinze @theCTSA @NCRonline @sistersreport

Rest — the very act of sabbath-making — is part of our call as people of faith. @sistersreport columnist @WanderingNun reflects on the need for rest. ncr.media/3pNMbux

In our newest episode of Beyond the Habit, we talk about how dialogue isn't always comfortable, people can't be reduced down to only one identity, and that showing up means being willing to listen, learn, and build relationships. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts!

P.S. Get yourself some sisters who'll share their souls on porches, poke fun at your ineptitude at making a V, laugh late into the night, and share bourbon fudge at Gethsemane.

Sisterhood keeps you honest; it offers clarity even in uncertainty, the gift of constancy. It is a reminder that call is complicated... we answer God alone and yet we make that choice in community. Grateful for a weekend of radical relationality with my CSSJ sisters❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Check out the latest podcast episode of Beyond the Habit as we celebrate Belovedness and our call to be fully who God has made us to be!

Amen, @KenHomanSJ!
