Often we use the analogy of Shepherd and the sheep and the Vine and the Branches to speak of our relationship with the Lord. The analogy used most often throughout Scripture is a Bridegroom and Bride relationship.. During the retreat we will explore the Scriptures (Old Testament and the New Testament) to reflect upon the Lord's desire to have an intimate relationship with each one of us. Expect time in Eucharistic Adoration, Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharist with the Sisters, as well as the opportunity for one on one spiritual direction. Sister Jacqueline Spaniola leads on this weekend prayer experience. Begins at 5:30 PM on Friday and concludes at noon on Sunday. No cost, but registration is required.

Lake Michigan is a gift that we mutually share from our Creator. St. Francis of Assisi loved Sister Water and so do we cherish this gift of nature so dear to us.</p><h3>Design Your Own Visit</h3><p>You are invited to come visit us at our Wisconsin Motherhouse or one of our convents in various geographic locations (e.g. St. Anne Convent, Chassell, Michigan) for a portion of a day or a few days while discerning God's call. It is our best way of sharing our spirit with you. Not only will you meet those in Initial Formation, but also many of our Sisters who have lived our Franciscan vocation and have experiences to share. Our homes also speak of our history and the many members who are part of our legacy as Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity.

As Sr Jackie explained “The Retreats are based on Discernment of Spirits - St. Ignatius’ twenty two rules for discerning a calling and understanding God’s will in one’s life. During the one day mostly silent retreat, women will learn tools for making intentional and prayerful life decisions. “<p></p><p>“Young women said ‘if it's a quiet retreat I will go’ and I think young people in their twenties and early thirties are seeing that they need that quiet that the society is not giving them. They just want some quiet time to really reflect on what God is asking them to do.”</p><p>The retreat, held at the singularly serene environment of the Cistercian Valley of Our Lady Monastery near Prairie du Sac Wisconsin, will offer women an especially conducive location to apprehending the subtle movements of the Holy Spirit.</p><p>Some past retreatants observations include:</p><ul><li>“I was able to dive deeply into the rules that addressed my own discernment and journey…”</li><li>“Taking the time intentionally to examine my life and uncover more of who I am…”</li><li>“I really appreciate having such ample opportunities for silence and processing and journaling.

I also think it’s incredible that one-on-one spiritual direction is a part of the retreat, so that anyone participating has a chance to discuss their reflections and experiences with Sister. The fact it ends with a QA session at the end is also helpful too, for anyone wondering more about the various aspects of religious life.</span></li></ul><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 2.2rem; line-height: 35px; margin-bottom: 3.3rem; margin-top: 0px;">Register <span style="color: #38761d;">https://fscc-calledtobe.org<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://fscc-calledtobe.org/vocation-retreat-registration/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;">/vocation-retreat-registration/</a></span></span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Call or text Sister Julie Ann 920-323-9632 with questions.</p><div><br /></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 2.2rem; line-height: 35px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://fscc-calledtobe.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/San-Damiano-Cross-Discernment-1.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #fea700; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"></a></p>Sister Julie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15835880394122318945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848929123821110220.post-18224115677585930502022-02-09T07:57:00.000-08:002022-02-09T07:57:05.357-08:00Franciscan Sisters Offer 'From the Cradle to the Cross' Zoom Lenten Presentation<p>Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity are offering a free Zoom Lenten Presentation entitled "From the Cradle to the Cross" on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 from 6:30-7:30 PM Central Time. </p><p>The event features: Lyn Zahorik, Coordinator of Pastoral Services and Spiritual
