Learned from her grandmother and several Friar and Sister friends: Always be present in the moment and to the individual who stands before you; be flexible – you never know where God is leading you. “God has created me to do Him some definite service… I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.” – Cardinal John Henry Newman
