sr.christinaosf Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 We had quite the day here at St. Anne's! Several of us enjoy celebrating "All Hallows Eve," dressing up, partying, and what not. As a follow up to our Bible study unit on the Exodus, in which we loved using the song: "Go Down, Moses," Paulla, our wonderful activities assistant, found a costume for an Egyptian pharaoh at a local thrift store.

sr.christinaosf Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 What do you mean? Also, please let me clarify: I am not meaning to say that my writing is so great, or get attention for myself. My reason for this (and even having this blog at all) is to raise awareness of religious life, of our congregation and hopefully maybe even foster vocations. It's not about me. Thanks.

sr.christinaosf Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Last evening, shortly before 10 p.m., I returned to St. Anne's (the facility at which I work) to bring the dog back. (Recently, "Zoe" has been an evening guest at our convent.) Snow was falling; it was beautiful. Something about a fresh snow fall tends to bring out the playful little girl in me. That is, until mid-January when I am sick and tired of it. [ 181 more words ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr.christinaosf Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 This evening, after a somewhat stressful day, I put on an old cassette tape I'd received from my mom. (Yes, I still have some around!) One of the songs gave me a nudge that I am still working to implement. I've been dealing with a couple of challenging issues here, and have found myself feeling frustrated. The vocalist, whose music I grew up with, encouraged her listeners, encouraged ME, to "give them all to Jesus." [ 69 more words ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr.christinaosf Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Midway through a second consecutive day of helping fill in for a sick aide, I was having supper with Sr. Elaine (while Sr. Rebecca took her turn at the reception desk). As I've been thinking ahead to my upcoming trip to the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis next week, I mentioned that I'd been tempted to put a note at the employee time clock.

sr.christinaosf Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Today’s feast brings to mind Simon & Garfunkel’s hit song bearing this saint’s name. Having grown upon listening to “the oldies station” (thanks to my dad) and having lived in “Caecilian Hall” for most of my college years, I’ve heard this catchy tune countless - Read more...
