Called


 
What do I call my life
as a Sister of Saint Joseph?
Certainly a sacred pilgrimage
across deserts and plains,
up mountains and down valleys –
a true journey of the human spirit.

What do I call these years
as a Sister of Saint Joseph?
Assuredly, a great adventure with God,
accompanied by the gift and grace
of family, friends, companions –
blessings of my varied seasons.

What do I call my days
as a Sister of Saint Joseph?
Definitely, a sonata in both major
and minor keys, a triumphant piece
played with passion and humility –
inspired by a heavenly Muse.

What do I call my vocation
as a Sister of Saint Joseph?
Most of all, a wondrous story,
a tale of two hearts, joined in a sublime
celebration of Truth and Beauty,
in the consecration of endless Love!
