We are used to working and praying together, but sometimes we do not make enough time to play together. One will be a vocation video to help those considering monastic life get a better picture of who we are, and the second is for the Sacred Heart Benedictine Foundation , to help our friends and benefactors understand more about the ministries and the needs of our Monastery and corporate ministries. Sister Rita Kay Rauschendorfer coordinated the filming schedule, and included many of the sisters as well as the Monastery staff, and some friends from town. Sisters Dolores Heidt, Carol Axtmann, Marie Hunkler, and Laura Hecker attended the Region VIII Convention of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains in Bismarck in September. For it is Christ who is served in them.
Wheels are probably one of the most commonly used objects, which, alas, garner the least attention.
Many of our sisters use some form of wheels to help them with their personal mobility. There are walkers with wheels, wheelchairs, and electric carts to help them navigate the vast hallways. Often one does not appreciate the importance of wheels until they are without them. So as you move about your day, look at how many aspects of your day just roll on by, think of what life would be like without them and thank God for wheels.
