A Calling

When did you become a Bridgettine?        “In 1997 in Mexico.” – Sr. Fabiola

What’s your favorite part of religious life? “Prayer and adoration” –  Sr. Amor

Why did you choose the Bridgettines?

“When I was young I had a dream I was in adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament. There were two sisters there kneeling in front of me in white veils as the priest gave the Benediction. Years later, I visited a Bridgettine convent. When I arrived I was invited into the chapel, as adoration was ending. There knelt two sisters, the priest, and the Blessed Sacrament – just as it had happened in my dream. Jesus led me to the Bridgettines.” -Sr. Eunice

“I am happy and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of our community in Columbus because it is here that I heard the Lord’s call to consecrate myself to Him and where I got to know our Bridgettine Sisters. Spending time with the Sisters especially joining them for their prayers confirmed the call of my heart to our charism of unity. And now after going through the process of my initial formation and looking towards my first profession of vows, I know that the Bridgettines are my family and this consecrated life the way the Lord has called me to serve His church! ” – Sr. Jose Mary

Please know the sisters are always praying for your intentions, how can we pray for you today?
