One
characteristic of Mother Angeline that I especially admire is her courage. She left the security and happiness with the
little sisters because she felt called to serve the elderly in a different
way. She did not know if her order would
succeed or not. She had complete faith
and trust in God’s providence and wisdom.
With any vocation, there are difficulties, struggles, and
roadblocks. If you get through these it
leads to greater affirmation of God’s will for you. To get through hard times and persevere in
God’s plan for you, you need courage. I
am amazed by Mother’s strong faith that gave her the courage to carry out a
vision that was radical for its time.
God has a plan for everyone. Even
when things are rough, they will get better.
No bad time lasts forever. The
hard road is the narrow gate that will lead us to the kingdom of God. Mother Angeline understood all of this. She never gave up on God’s plan for her even
when things set her back. We, her
daughters, need to remember this on our vocational journey. If Mother Angeline could persevere in a
changing vocation, we can persevere in a steady one. We have nothing to fear with such a
courageous foundress as our mother, protector and guide.
