Today, we are celebrating the birthday of one of our older Sisters, Sr. Mary Cabrini Boland, OSB. She is turning 90 today. She originally had a huge party planned with relatives and friends coming to visit her for the day--but God had other plans. Thanks to a huge snow storm last Thursday and Friday her family was not able to come but the plans for the party are still happening.
Today, Sr. Cabrini is my example of humility. When she found out that her family could not be here for the birthday, she began planning with the health care staff and some Sisters to video tape her celebration so that her family could enjoy it also--just as if they were here. She did not want her younger brother to miss anything. So...at noon if all goes as planned we will tape the celebration and email it to her family.
She is my example of humility because even when things don't quite go as planned she is always ready to praise God for what has happened and to find the beauty in whatever comes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SISTER CABRINI!
Sr. Catherine, OSB
