Sr. Yvette Marie Fernander
US/Caribbean Province
As
a new member of the Sisters of the Sorrowful
Mother, my spiritual life continues to
be the focal point and the engine
that guides my daily life. I attribute my
vocation to my mother because
it
was her witness, her examples of service and prayer that helped
to form me into the person I am today. Since entering the
congregation my experiences of prayer, study and reflection on
the Scriptures, Our Way of Life and our Franciscan Spirituality
have given me a greater understanding and appreciation
for life and the call to be light for others. Studying and
living the Franciscan Spirituality have made me realize that
I can live with less and still be content and has given me
a greater appreciation for and awareness of the less fortunate. Franciscan
Spirituality has reinforced my belief inwelcoming
others, while respecting, caring and honoring the earth,
animals and all of God’s creation.
