SIX Women take Vows as the Little Sisters of the Poor
Cardinal Dolan Presided at a Mass of Religious Profession at St.
Ann Novitiate, Queens Village, on Saturday, June 1. In his homily Cardinal Dolan reminded the six novices that they were dedicating themselves to being the heartbeat of Jesus, tenderness
incarnate, in treating God’s people: first of all in receiving his
love for them, gratefully, humbly, every day –and then in returning that love with tenderness to his people. The message seemed
to strike not only the six making profession , but also the five
novices seated in front row at Mass. They were there to support
Sr. Mairead Regina from Ireland, Sr. Malia Cecilia and Sr. Malia
Makalita, from the Kingdom of Tonga, Sr. Mary Gerard of the
Cross, from Syracuse, NY, Sr. Sharon of the Sacred Heart from
Elmhurst, NY; as well as Sr. Elizabeth Mary, as they pronounced
vows of chastity, poverty, obedience and a special fourth vow,
hospitality. After the Mass, the Cardinal and those making profession we presented with leis by the families of the Sisters from
the South Pacific. The newly –professed learned their new assignment, which will take them to little Sisters’ Homes for the
aged in Dublin, Ireland; Sydney Australia: Totowa, NJ San Francisco and San Pedro CA and Pittsburg, PA.

Como salir del laberinto?
La vida mis queridos hermanos realmente es como un laberinto, iniciamos nuestro camino y nos
encontramos con paredes que obstaculizan nuestro tránsito, nos encontramos con la pared de los
problemas familiares, ya sea con nuestros hijos, nuestro cónyuge o nuestros padres. Esto nos
hace sufrir y a veces hasta llorar, seguimos nuestro camino y nos podemos encontrar con la
pared de las enfermedades, cuando se enferma un familiar realmente sufrimos mucho sobre todo
si se trata de una enfermedad terminal, seguimos nuestro camino y nos podemos encontrar con
la pared de los problemas económicos, seguimos caminando por este laberinto y en algún
momento nos podemos encontrar con la pared de perder un ser querido, perder un hijo, nuestros
padres o nuestro esposo o esposa, realmente es muy duro.
Todas estas situaciones en algún momento nos rodean y nos ponen entre la espada y la pared,
¿qué hacer entonces? ¿Qué camino debo tomar? ¿Cuál será la decisión correcta? Esta pregunta y
muchas parecidas han asaltado por años a hombres y mujeres inmersos en profundas crisis
cuando todo alrededor parece estar en contra y las soluciones no se aprecian en la distancia. Hoy
te quiero compartir el tema “4 pasos para salir del laberinto”,
En nuestra vida práctica nos encontramos rodeados con problemas que aparentemente no tienen
solución Qué hacer en estos casos?
Primero vencer la Incertidumbre, es imposible en casos de angustia tener paz, aunque seamos
fieles a Dios, aunque tengamos a Dios en nuestras vidas, la duda nos ataca, la duda es un estado
emocional que está a la puerta, cuando consideramos que todo punto de fortaleza en el que
hemos confiado se desmorona ante nuestros ojos, la pregunta sería como vencemos la
incertidumbre?
Vencemos la incertidumbre depositándonos en manos de Dios y reconociendo
que la victoria no es por nuestras fuerzas humanas limitadas, victoria es por la fuerza de Dios.
Segundo paso ver los problemas con los ojos de Dios, cuando tenemos a Cristo en nuestras
vidas quien con nosotros? Cuando depositamos la confianza en el Señor aprendemos a mirar los
problemas no en dimensión humana los veremos con los ojos de Dios.
El tercer punto orar a Dios con confianza mantenerse firme ante el peligro, esto lo hacemos a
través de la oración que es un medio para pedir ayuda nos da bendiciones.
Cuarto orar siempre como cristiano obrar como cristiano es muchas veces difícil, pero acudamos
a Dios El conoce de nuestras debilidades. Estos cuatro principios nos ayudaran a encontrar a
nuestro Salvador.
