		<description>Hi Sister Julie, 
I love the picture of Mary and Elizabeth. As a white person growing up in America I&#039;ve sometimes felt sad that I didn&#039;t have a specific cultural background to be proud of. I&#039;m a little bit german and a little bit irish, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But when I see the Holy Family, or really any biblical image, depicted in a different culture it reminds me that as a Catholic I&#039;m connected to Catholic Africans and Catholic Hispanics and Catholic Native Americans and that part of them is part of me. So, Catholicism has become the culture that I&#039;m proud of being.</description>

		<description>Hello sister Julie,

For me, this teaches me the perfect charity, in which most of us in the outside world are lacking. Although we know what the word &quot;charity&quot; means but the application and real essence is not there.  Forgive me Sister that, their is no confusion in the part of Mary bearing Jesus in her womb... since she was child she was already consecrated to God by St.Anne,  while she was in the temple, she already have locutions, she already know that the Messiah is coming, although she did not expect that she is the choosen one. Her perfect charity to Elizabeth is just out of her pure love to her cousin, she knows after hearing it from the Angel, after the annunciation,  she knows that Elizabeth is older and she needs a lot of help, specially knowing that Elizabeth&#039;s husband Zacharias could not speak. Mother Mary&#039;s charity, to serve is a great example to all of us, that even she herself is pregnant now maybe 20 to 30 days she never demand any help from anybody, or become proud and tell everyone she was choosen to be the mother of the Messiah, instead she keep it a secret in &quot;humility&quot;. It was probably a torture for her to keep it from Joseph... but she had to wait for the time being... after her service is done to her cousin. I say,  what a lot of  lesson here to learn... the simplicity, the pure love, the perfect charity, doing God&#039;s will... I pray I will live to learn these virtues. Thank you sisters. Sorry my english is not that good.</description>

		<description>Trying to be faithful to what God is asking of me. Well, that meant kneeling in the midst of my parish church on Sunday, transferring my vows into the Community of Solitude. Scary, but awesome - and what an amazing date to do it!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting to hear the Visitation story proclaimed this year, especially after months of hearing about the Apostolic Visitation, the inquiry into the lives of U.S. Women Religious. This gospel story is so central to us as IHM Sisters and to many communities of Catholic sisters and nuns. It is an image of our relationships, how we minister, and how we choose to be in the world and in our community lives.</description>
