Sr Augustina OSB

Sparkly but strict: eyes down, balance first.

A winter day split between glare and gloom. While shadows linger, the sun reminds us of His eternal presence. Good and evil may share the world, but only the Light leads us Home.

The last hours of the year. Grateful for what was, hopeful for what’s ahead.

Happy Feast! Praying for all families

Morning

Christmas

Greetings from Ukraine!

Good morning!

Autumn covers the earth like prayer wraps the heart. Mars Field in Lviv ( military cemetery where Ukraine honors its fallen defenders). Place where every flag says: "I was. I am. I remain."

@srmarianneskj We are pretty far from the front line. We only sometimes hear explosions, drones. Sounds of SPA activity is more frequent. The whistle of rockets is rare, but it happens.

@osb_sister It looks very peaceful, are there peace where your convent is?

Good morning! Greetings from Ukraine!

The nationwide minute of silence has just ended. So has the air raid alert. For 5+ hours we’ve been counting air defense shots, the whir of drones, missiles overhead, explosions near and far. But today, let’s pray for those for whom it was beyond than just counting and hearing.

@JamesThunder333 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@osb_sister Please Please Please add my 6 year old daughter Amelia to your prayers she just gets competed anger and rage fits out of nowhere where she actually growls while doing it sometimes by in like a real way Spoken with church they done nothing

Happy Feast! #benedictine

@Abdullahslam21 I'm not sure what to say to this, as I don't know about many paths. I know "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

@osb_sister There are many paths. At the beginning of each path, there are callers. They all say, "My path leads to heaven." Which one is the right path?

Good morning!

Pilgrimage to Bilshivtsi is starting

@Abdullahslam21 Light is not what we see — it’s what we become when we walk with Him. The path may twist, but the Light never flickers.

@sscjusa 🙏

At the pharmacy. Getting a stronger antibiotic and cough medicine for this terrible cough and upper respiratory infection. I'm admiring these pharmacists. What would we do without them?

@sscjusa 🤣
