On the eve of our founder’s birthday, we also met in our small convent to reflect on him and his life.
During the introduction I recalled his birthday…
Our sister Bernarda (87J and sometimes a little forgetful)
asked:
“How old do you think he might be?”
My answer:” He would have been 201 years old…..
Sister Bernarda again …
you can’t get that old,
he has already died – hasn’t he?
He did enough good things for us…..
But now he can live on in our hearts…..”
I was very impressed by this reaction
and I have to say …
Sister Bernarda understood a lot!
Yes – let us always take our founder as an example in our everyday lives.
The needs of today are just as relevant in all countries as they were back then.
If we open our eyes, ears and hearts – we can do a lot in his spirit and the people we accompany in conversation, in and with our prayers,
are grateful for it –
I experience this again and again.
