In this Jubilee year of Hope, it is fitting that the season’s theme is Peace with Creation, the hope of all who work to bring God’s dream of justice and peace to reality. The symbol is the Garden of Peace, inspired by Isaiah 32:14-18 where the prophet portrays a desolate creation, devoid of peace due to injustice and the broken relationship between God and humankind. Isaiah’s hope and ours is that Creation will find peace when justice is restored.
En este año jubilar de la esperanza, es apropiado que el tema de la temporada sea «Paz con la Creación», la esperanza de todos los que trabajan para hacer realidad el sueño de Dios de justicia y paz. El símbolo es el Jardín de la Paz, inspirado en Isaías 32:14-18, donde el profeta describe una creación desolada, desprovista de paz debido a la injusticia y a la ruptura de la relación entre Dios y la humanidad. La esperanza de Isaías y la nuestra es que la Creación encuentre la paz cuando se restaure la justicia.
Sister M. Francis
Over the next several years she devoted herself to caring for her brother’s children and translating Greek and Latin classics. The Sisters of Mercy arrived in St. John’s in June of 1842 and sometime later that year she entered the community. The Presentation Archives noted that she had “at last found her true home.”
Present to celebrate with Eileen were a number of Sisters, representatives of Administration and Pastoral Care, as well as several volunteers. Joyce Penney, Director of Volunteer Services welcomed the group and lauded Sister Eileen’s ministry to third-floor residents of St. Patrick’s, noting her quiet, steady, compassionate presence to each one.
