Praying, Living, & Loving the Franciscan Way
We are proud to announce that Sister Charlotte Roost has joined our growing list of on-line contributors. “Scarf with a Twist” is a very popular item in our gift shop. We are pleased to be able to make some of Sr. Charlotte’s designs available through our website. Each design is produced in a limited quantity. If you like it, get it while you can, as they won’t last for long!! http://poverellocreations.org/ Sisters Kathy Kreie & Margaret Kruse went to the Immigration March in Milwaukee on Saturday, January 14. People gathered at Voces de la Frontera in the morning for prayer and speeches, and then began the march to the downtown courthouse. At the courthouse, there was a skit and more talks were given before the afternoon concluded.
This group of OSF sisters and friends joined the School Sisters of St. Francis at the SSSF Motherhouse on Sunday to spend a half hour in public prayer for peace. It was called "Circle the Cities with Love This is a movement, begun in Cleveland, Ohio, last summer by Sr. Rita Petruziello, CSJ, who was inspired to circle the city of Cleveland in contemplative meditation during the Republican Convention so as to be a sign of a peaceful presence during the convention. The response was phenomenal. Milwaukee is now part of this movement already established in over 40 cities and two other countries to Circle the City (Milwaukee) with Love at this time of great need for healing, peace and justice around the inauguration of our new President.This is not a “religious” nor a partisan movement It is open to anyone who “wants to bring peace and love into the universe, because we need it.”
The Christmas Season may be over, but let the prayerfulness, kindness, and peace of the season continue throughout the year.
