Dreams Becoming Reality
In the
life of any community there are different seasons. For our Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, this
is a season of the celebration of dreams becoming reality. It's my privilege
and joy to be celebrating with them.
For
years, our Sister Glenda Rodriquez dreamed of inviting Trinidadian women to
join her community, the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. Ten years ago tomorrow
Archbishop Gilbert officially blessed and opened the House of Discernment in
St. Joseph. Since that time Trinidadian
women have discerned a call to Sinsinawa Dominican life and today three of them
are finally professed members and one is in temporary profession. The dream of our Sister Glenda Rodriquez
became a reality!
Our
Sister Gail Jagroop had another dream....to create a retreat center. On Saturday, our house in St. Joseph,
formerly known as the House of Discernment, will be officially rededicated
as Dominican WELLSPRING, a retreat center.
Archbishop Joe Harris will celebrate Eucharist with our sisters and
associates as we embark on this new project.
Another dream realized!
Finally,
the people of Trinidad and Tobago had a dream that they might be free from
England and become a republic. Next
Monday the country celebrates the 36th anniversary of having become a republic...another
cause for rejoicing and celebration!
It’s so important to have dreams! What are your dreams? How can they become a
reality?
