April 24, 2017 – From Sr. Karen Bernhardt

How Can I Keep From Singing? I sing a song of gratitude for the call that continues to unfold within me every day,
when I am aware of God’s presence as total gift. I sing with those who continue to teach me a new melody and harmony. I am learning to let go
and let God lead me into a future full of hope. I sing with a peaceful heart, which comes by asking for God’s grace each day to become a
Gospel Woman. I sing a song of lamentation for all those who are being trafficked; families being targeted in so many
war torn countries; and for those migrants who are not being welcomed as our brothers and sisters. O Cosmic Christ, help me to continue sharing your love song on this journey
during these fifty days of Easter.
