God keeps calling me tolove and out of that love I am able tolove and serve others. I have grown ina loving appreciation for creation andhow it expresses God’s faithfulness andconstant presence to me.Community life has been a blessingfor me. It has helped me to develop asa whole person. Coming from prayer,I go out into the world and do my bestto reflect Christ’s presence to others.I come today to ministry, with asense of being gifted. I gain from thepeople I serve as they gain from myservice to them. They keep showingme the many faces of God. Each dayI am looking for the gifts that Godblesses us with.I have become a lifelong learneras the result of being an SSND. I keepchanging and growing with the many“different experiences I have been offered.We are missionary and are calledto be in the world and with thosein need.

“Jubilate Deo! continued from page 7A blessing of these years is that Ihave been called and led to do manythings that I, myself, would neverhave thought to do. Being part of aninternational congregation has provided countless opportunities. Theseexperiences have enriched my life innumerous ways and made me veryaware of God’s presence in my life.Before I was asked to go to theGeneralate in Rome in the early1970s, I had never been east ofChicago, so it was a big event for me.My world broadened hundreds oftimes over. Learning the Italian language during those years (1974-82)enabled me to experience and minister in other special ways since then:writing “Manual for General Treasurers” in Italy in 1983-84; workingat the Prefecture for the EconomicAffairs of the Holy See from 199294, where I directed the developmentof a program to create their consolidated budgets and financial reports;and doing Italian interpretation forinternational finance board meetingsof the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother(1997-present).God speaks to us in many ways,including through thoughts and ideasthat come to us. We can depend on”God’s faithfulness when we are opento His voice and respond positivelyto it.CELEBRATING 60 YEARSSister Sylvia Provosthas ministered atevery level ofelementary education as a primary andintermediate teacheras well as in administration.

In 1984, I went toSt. Augustine Parish in North LittleRock, Ark., with Sister Carol Nishke.We were asked to lead the parish ministry. We began by visiting homes to getto know the people and their needs.Rides were found for people whocouldn’t otherwise get to church.Homebound parishioners were assistedthrough delivery of groceries and hotmeals.
