Religious life is an opportunity to share God’s love with all we come in contact with. In my prayer ministry at Mt. Augustine/Regina Health Center, I interact with many of the residents and staff. Sometimes, a simple smile will make a person feel more positive. I, along with my other Sisters in the prayer ministry, also pray for many concerns. I enjoyed my previous position at Mercy Medical Center, but I believe that my current position has allowed me the greatest opportunities to make a difference. I feel I bring our charism and gifts to everyone I interact with–whether it be a resident, a visitor or an employee. Being present for others and offering them a smile or a listening ear is very important.
