One of the most beautiful things about the religious life is community. We are not just coworkers or even friends living together — we are truly Sisters in the Lord, Sisters who share all of life’s joys and sorrows in a profound union of hearts. One of our Sisters tried to capture this precious aspect of our life in poetry. We hope you enjoy it!

These Sisters I Have Found

I am not alone
In my laughter
In my tears
No, never alone
In my dreams
Or my fears
My heart beats in harmony
Eternal joyous symphony
With these sisters of mine
Beloved sisters of my heart
Somehow part of me
This echo of love divine
Each one singing her part
Bond deeper than mind
Could ever comprehend
Heartstrings tightly wound
In unbreakable bind
These gifts from above
These sisters I have found
