Province Pilgrimage (Part 1)

July 2008, a group of sisters from this province together with two from the European Province embarked on a pilgrimage 'in the Footsteps of our Founders.' The journey was in two parts - the first half took place at Noddfa Spirituality Centre in North Wales:

INSPIRATION LIVES ON AND IS INTEGRATED

Many Sisters from UK/Ireland and elswhere gathered in Noddfa, N. Wales to explore, study, pray and share from the writings of Theodore Ratisbonne, our founder, and the historical books (dealing with the foundation and Alphonse, his brother), which have been translated from the original French language.

Wisdom really is both timeless and universal and this we discovered as we delved into the material and shared together leisurely within the beautiful setting of mountains and sea. From philosophical thought to practical advice written to individual sisters as they spread across the world, we gleaned some personal insights which we took with us.

Here are a few of the sayings we took away:

'I prefer death to superficiality'

'What fulness of life are to be found in these key words' I love and am loved'

'I have taken the resolution to see in every human being what is good and appealing...If I am mistaken God will correct my judgement
