Today Sister Lisa took her final solemn vows. The vows in religious life are three: poverty, chastity, and obedience. I will deal with each of these in turn at a later time. It was a great celebration and many people were present, sisters, Lisa's natal family, friends and coworkers. Lisa looked serene and happy. The Tiffin Franciscans have a great sense of family and are a very joyous group.
Sr. Lisa is on the right, and the Community Minister, Sister Sara is on the left.
Some older sisters maintain the habit. This sister is actually from a different community that lives nearby.
This is at the beginning of the Mass. They are not bowing to the priest, but to the altar which is a sacred space because the consecration of the bread and wine takes place on it.
Trying to upload a video for you, so you can hear the music that nearly blew the roof off the chapel. Oops, sorry the upload is not working. Will have to stick to pictures.
Please feel free to post questions or comments. It's been pretty quiet out there.....
