A COMPASS: AN INDICATOR A GUIDE AN INSTRUMENT TO SHOW
THE WAY, TO HELP ME NAVIGATE UNFAMILIAR PATHS.
Using the compass of my heart
I face the cold white blanket of the North
Do I trust and hope to see new life waiting beneath
the frozen, barren land?
I gaze towards the warmth and light of the South
Am I asking for guidance to plant seeds that will bear fruit?
Visitation Province Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation Core Committee met in a Zoom to make plans for moving on with the work of JPIC. Sister Maureen Baldwin and Sister Karen Kelly from the new leadership team joined us and expressed their enthusiasm in accepting to be liaison with the Committee for the next few years. Sister Maura McGrath led us through a discussion of several broad questions and everyone participated in generously sharing ideas. We will meet again soon. Watch for our continued input!
A group of Congregation de Notre-Dame Associates in Woodstock, NB, met on Thursday, November 11 at the Parish Hall. It was a beautiful sunny day to gather and pray together. We were properly spaced around the hall, one person per long table, and we were masked. Marjorie Allison-Ross led us in prayer; we shared mostly on the 3rd reading, about dreams and our own dreams. We very much appreciated Sing Gently, the music link provided with the prayer. We saw a short video from Central Office, and Marjorie gave an overview of the celebrations planned for this 40th year of Associate Relationship. Planning for meetings in December and January concluded our time together.
