In Response to God's Call: Pauline 200 Advent Reflections

Starting tomorrow and throughout the Advent and Christmas seasons, we will provide a daily reflection written by one of our Sisters.  At the close of 2017 and the dawn of 2018, we remember the years of preparation and the events that took place in celebration of Mother Pauline's 200th birthday.  We offer this collection of reflections for Advent and Christmas as a way to continue the spiritual renewal sparked by our "Pauline 200" commemorations.  Each reflection contains references to the Scripture of the day and to Mother Pauline's life and writings, as well as a suggested action for that day.  We have given this collection the title, "In Response to God's Call," for several reasons.  This title brings to mind our inspirational "Response 200" days in July and the title of the history of the Congregation written by Sister Anna Schwanz.  Additionally, these are the words we have spoken at our First Profession, Perpetual Profession and every renewal of vows.  What better words could there be to enhance our spiritual preparations as we enter a new liturgical year while remembering the remarkable year we have just experienced?  What better reminder could there be that everything we do is done in response to God's call?

Tune in tomorrow for our first reflection!  Feel free to comment by going to the blog and clicking "comment" at the bottom of the post.  (Email subscribers:  To comment, click on the link for "SCC JPIC Messages" at the bottom of the email, then click on "Comments" at the bottom of the blog post.)
