In conversation with our sister Franziska

Like every day, I have our sisters who live in the care sector, today too I visited. Yes, and there was such a nice conversation with our sister Franziska and I don't want to keep this to myself. Sister Franziska is 95 years old (I reported on her birthday party in October 2020.) When I sat down with her today, she said to me: “Do you know who I was” just thinking of - my answer - well, I can't know that, because I can't read minds. “Well, dear Sister Superior - I thought of Mother Roswitha. She was our Superior General when we came to the monastery in the 1950s ”. I said: I've only seen her once, but I've heard a lot from her - many sisters say - she was very strict. Sister Franziska again - no - it wasn't like that - she followed the straight way. She had to put things in order first. The sisters were scattered everywhere after the escape and she then looked for them together. You know - she looked stern and proud too - but her heart was warm. We could already be seen with her. The Holy Spirit  led her - otherwise she would not have made it all. Love was always felt in its severity.   I am really very impressed with this conversation, because I could not have heard more convincingly about it.     Sister M.
