This is the sacred place where we come together five times a day, lifting our hearts in prayer for our country in this challenging moment, for our world facing immense trials, and for the pressing struggles that weigh on us in this pivotal time in history.
Our dear and beloved sister Madonna Winkels who would never miss a party, left us money so that we could gather together and celebrate her life. This was her final farewell, a beautiful gesture to remind us of the joy and love she brought into our lives.
Most High, all powerful, all good Lord. All praise is Yours. All glory, all honor, and all Blessing. To you alone Most High do they belong, and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name.
Amidst the challenges our planet faces, from conflicts to natural disasters, we are graced with the beautiful reminder of Christ’s birth among us. We pause for just a moment to celebrate this sacred occasion, where we find hope and renewal in the light of His presence.
Here is where our community of Poor Clare Sisters,
all 6 of us, sing hymns and pray the Divine Office.
Here are Eric and Brigitte, who spent a few days with us last week. Eric was like a son to our Sister Lucie, who joined our Community from Quebec. During their visit, Eric and Brigitte prayed with us and paid their respects at Lucie’s grave in the cemetery, where she is buried alongside our Poor Clare sisters from Bloomington who have died.
This wonderful couple has now become part of our extended Poor Clare family. Eric recently earned his Doctorate from a University in Quebec, and together, he and Brigitte lead pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
This is the beautiful place where we share our time of Centering Prayer every Tuesday evening from 6-7 pm.
The room is decked out now for the Christmas season.
Wishing a blessed and beautiful season to all of you.
Just as the river flows so does God’s peace flow through you and me. No ripples or rocks, just overflowing peace in these “interesting times”. May the star of Bethlehem that points to the word Love point us to Peace.
Brace yourselves, dear readers, for the ultimate spooktacular showdown! The contenders at Assisi Heights have donned their most eye-wateringly, gut-churningly hideous outfits, vying for the coveted title of “Best Outfitted Character” on the night before All Saints.
Above, the lady makes her grand entrance as the epitome of the American matriarch. Picture a bald eagle draped in the flag, serenading the crowd while clutching an apple pie. She’s got Oprah’s charisma, a rock star’s grace, and the authority of your toughest history teacher. This matriarch isn’t just leading, she’s reigning supreme!
Below, this “character” lurks with an insatiable appetite, eyes gleaming with culinary conquest. Can you decipher the identities of these enigmatic, eerie souls? Or will their spooky allure remain shrouded in mystery?
