Well, it’s been a few months since I have found time to sit down and blog. These past few months have felt like a whirlwind of reading, studying, and taking tests. I have a full load of Theology courses on Science, Marriage, the Holocaust, and the Gospels. They are all interesting classes, especially my class on Religion and Science. The professor has been taking us through Alfred North Whitehead’s metaphysics which beautifully integrates science and religion (if you can understand it).

It hasn’t been all work and no play, though. I attended a special performance of Valley Catholic High School’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” where they served us amazing, technicolor refreshments. Then, last week a number of us Sisters went to St. Cecilia’s to watch Leonardo DeFilippis’ production of “Vianney.” It was a moving performance, and I was delighted to reconnect with so many of the parishioners.

This coming week I will be on Spring Break, during which time I plan on keeping up with my studies and projects around the house, taking time to relax and enjoy the Spring weather, and encountering God in prayer. Over the past few months I have been going to workshops on St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, and have been finding prayer to be even more enjoyable. It brings me joy to think that I will hopefully have more time to slow down, and be aware of God’s presence.
