Chapter meeting for February
Winter has finally arrived here at the Virtual Mother House, and as the temperatures dip into the single digits, our hardiest Animal Friends are the crows. Sister Jean marvels always at the ability of crows to sit on a wire in a sub-zero windchill looking for carrion, or chipping frozen bits of same into bite sized morsels on the pavement. A lesson in endurance for all us human animals!
Clearly St. Mildburga is looking out for them as well as all birds of which she is patroness. Check out her Web site linked at right. The Sisters urge you to thank God for the birds among our Animal Friends, and to scatter some bird seed on Feb. 23.
All of us here at the Mother House are looking forward to nuns on TV when "Sisters in Selma" airs on PBS (check your local station for times). The show promises to be an inspiring account of the nuns who joined Dr. Martin Luther King and other civil rights workers during the 1960s.
Sr. Shari reports that her new carpet looks nice, but Bob and ReBob, the hired painters left some things in a big mess and then had the gall to imply they might have done a better job if one of the Bobs had not had an allergic reaction to Sr. Shari's two cats, Annie and Snickers, who were in the basement the whole time. Sr. Shari is rightly disgusted with this sort of "half-assery" (her word, not mine, but I plan to start using it right away to cover any number of situations starting with Iraq).
The Sisters are praying for a lot of people and animals right now. Please join us over in our Prayer Room (click right), and add yours to the bunch. There's also a nice prayer for all occasions from St. Brigid, patroness of cattle and close personal friend of St. Patrick.
In our Lectionary, you can check out our latest book, "The Secret Life of Bees," in honor of St. Modomnoc, patron of same (bees, not books).
We also invite you to the Refectory (click right) for a nice cup of tea with St. Brigid's cream and hot buttered scones with St. Modomnoc's honey.
