Sr. Barbara Gerace is the eldest sister in our community. Going toward her 80s, she is a bit worried about her condition but she is still eager to be part of a book club with Rev. John Johnson, a retired Archdiocesan priest in Missouri.

For September, Sr. Barbara has selected “Plan of Life: Habits to Help You Grow Closer to God” by Roger J. Landry, a priest from the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts. She chose this book for group reading because it offers guidance on how to deepen our prayer life.

Each of us aspires to be better. So, we do our best every day. How can we change ourselves? How can we become transformed into a new person? Can we change the society and the world as well?

At the end of each year's Spiritual Exercises, I take time to outline my life project, and this year was no different. I made an effort to plan more concretely, but I still find myself struggling with the daily steps........
