“Rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength!” Neh. 8: 10
I am a member of the Sisters of St. Francis Congregation of Our Lady of Lourdes. My community is and has been a great blessing for me. God is my life and my all and with great joy I desire to share Him.
Life, as a Franciscan, has led me to be a woman of prayer, a professional woman who taught, directed Religious Education, directed a retreat center, gave retreats and was active as a Spiritual Director. I have been a Certified Chaplain working in health care for 20 years. Recently, I worked as a team member of our Franciscan Spirituality Center and gave presentations to the Sisters and public at large.
For many years, I did prayer journaling and received many prayers, poetry and prose. I have been encouraged to publish them. Franciscan Flowers, my blog, will enable me to share these gifts.
Your visits are welcome. I encourage you to share and I look forward to your comments.

Thanks Rachel,
Yes, God has gifted me with these prose and poems. When I reread them, they also are reflections for me. I am grateful to God that He has given me these inspirations. God bless you. La Donna
