A Nun's Life » jubilarians http://anunslife.org Catholic Sisters and Nuns in Today's World Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:47:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 IHM Community Days http://anunslife.org/2009/07/22/ihm-community-days/ http://anunslife.org/2009/07/22/ihm-community-days/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:53:21 +0000 Sister Julie http://anunslife.org/?p=3362

I am home at the IHM Motherhouse in Monroe, Michigan. Today we have our summer “community days”. All of my sisters come home for days of prayer, study, and discernment about our life together and how God is continuing to call us to live the liberating mission of Jesus. Then on Saturday we have our big community celebration of our Jubilarians, the sisters who celebrate the 25th, 60th and 75th anniversary of their entering the community.

I am thrilled to be home and to see everyone. The whole house is buzzing with good energy and excitement about being together. That is one thing I absolutely love about being an IHM Sister. We cherish our time together, we like hanging out with one another. It energizes us and renews us as we then move back into our ministries.

I hope to post again this week but may be a bit challenging with all that’s going on here. I ask for your prayers and will try to check in when I can. Do continue the conversations started this week and last — some very good ones going on about Vocation Directors, Paul Rudnick’s infamous piece on nuns, and Spiritual Writing. Also don’t forget to tune into the Discussion Forum — you can follow the “live” conversation we had on Sunday and add your thoughts.

Blessings!

I would love for you to get a feel of what Jubilee is like and who our women are. Here’s just a flavor. Will post more later.

I am in awe. Can you imagine what it’s like to celebrate 75 years in any life (religious life, married life, teaching, parenting, etc.)? What are you thinking?

I’m in Monroe to celebrate the jubilees of my IHM nuns who have been nuns for 25, 50, 60, and 75 years! Check out the 2008 IHM Jubilarians on our IHM website.

I forgot my laptop power cord in Chicago, so I’ve not been able to be online very much. Plus, I’ve been attending all-day community meetings and visiting lots of my nuns — so many nuns came home from near and far to be here.

So I’ve been a bit remiss in posting and in responding to comments. I haven’t forgotten, just a little behind! I’ll be writing more about Jubilee later tomorrow or Monday.

Blessings to each one of you.

Sister Julie
