Just as married couples celebrate wedding anniversaries, women religious celebrate what we call Jubilees or years of loving service as a Sister. Every year we celebrate our Sister “Jubilarians,” who have served 75 years, 70 years, 60 years, 50 years, and 25 years of religious life. This week close to 70 Jubilarians will come together at our Motherhouse in Adrian, Michigan to celebrate their Jubilee with families and friends! It’s a wonderful homecoming! I would like to share with you a poem that Sister Lorraine Réaume, OP, wrote this year in honor of our Jubilarians.
Decades offered Five and six Combined, hundreds of years Of love, of generosity, of faith, of witness Lives full and rich and varied Lives blessed and blessing Listening to the quiet whispers and surprising summons To begin something new To go somewhere untested To turn strangers into neighbors and friends Walking with the shy soul of another Preaching to a crowd Passing gifts on to others Generating and generative The word made flesh in new ways And familiar prayers Jesus as friend, brother, companion, Always present Prodding, guiding, encouraging, The ministry is never done alone But always in the name
Decades, five and six, Well lived Well served With joy With gratitude With adventure With hope Hundreds of years What a witness What a gift What magnificent lives We thank you We bless you We continue to walk with you As you walk the faithful journey With our God
Blessings, Sister Sara
