Location, Location... location!!
And I just happen to be perfectly situated close enough to the Daughters of St. Paul Provincial House in Jamaica Plain, MA (though I was TOTALLY bummed when I realized I wasn't being invited to JAMAICA!) to visit and be blessed by knowing this great (no fabulous) religious community!!
One of the remarkable (she'll so dislike me using this adjective) Sisters I have had the pleasure of not only meeting but befriending is my guest today, Sr. Marie Paul Curley, author of Soul of Christ: Meditations on a Timeless Prayer.
Today Sr. Paul and I chatted about:
- Vocations - including Sr. Paul's own fascinating journey to sisterhood. I MAY THEN have gone off on a gushing RANT of how much I love the Daughters... may have definitely have.
- The reason for choosing to focus a book on the Anima Christi (Soul of Christ) prayer
- Formatting a book is never easy - Sr. Paul shares her interesting journey of including in each chapter text and reflections for a holy hour of adoration.
- Ever wonder what "Blood of Christ, inebriate me" means.. yep me too! So that's why I asked!
- 7 Qualities of Mercy: Become a More Merciful You from Pauline Books & Media (Daughters of St. Paul) is a online mini-retreat that Sr. Paul was part of developing, and I was blessed to be a contributor for. This fabulous retreat launches Wed. Feb. 10th (aka Ash Wednesday) ...it is only $4.99! You can visitLightAlongtheWay.com/Mercy to register NOW!! Sr. Paul and I will both be joining the journey!
