Upholding the Legacy of Religious Life






This is St Peter in Chains Cathedral Cincinnati. Yesterday 125 religious men and women from different Congregations gathered to celebrate the end of the Year of Consecrated life in the greater Cincinnati area. I was drumming away in the background and rejoicing in the gift of consecrated life in the world. I drum for our mothers and fathers past whose faith and fervent courage has helped to preserve this most wonderful way of life to this day. I drum for all of us who are still on this unfolding journey, holding still and daily overcoming the challenges of our times. I drum for the future of religious life, whatever that may be and for all those who will be part of that new dawn. Finally I drum for you reading this bolg because in your own way, you are extending God's kingdom. When you touch the lives of others in a positive way, you are contributing in making the world a better place. Keep it up!
