Les Voyages

There were many things I wondered about during my 3-month journey in Montreal.

Violaine has shared many photos of our visitations that taught me the CND sisters do many things with love, joy, and great courage because they live life with our Lord, just like Marguerite did.

Here are some photos that will show you more people who also taught me that so that I might be able to do all that I wondered about and more.

Thank you for being so kind, welcoming, joyful and loving.

I wondered,"What will Community Emmaus be like?"

Thank you, Violaine for creat1• ng a new commun1•ty with me and your sister-in­ law, Elisabeth … Faith, Oat (Hope) and Love

I wondered, "Could I learn some French?"

These women encouraged me and told me, "You can….and I will help you.. ?'

Merci beaucoup! Je suis très reconnaissante!

I wondered, “Who might I meet?”

Pauline, la mere de Violaine shared with us two meals, a museum visit and a walk through the Montreal Botanical Gardens. In each moment I met her love, hospitality, sense of humor and warmth.

I wondered,"How might I start a mission that I dream about in my heart?"

Louise and Jeanne d'Arc shared how God provided so they could build La Petite Maison des Enfants Soleil.

Thank you, Jo for the gluten-free cookies and Mary Anne for the handmade chocolate. You made our journey sweet!

I wondered, “Do young adults have faith in this day in age?”

Thank you, Centre Etudiant Benoit Lacroix for your openness, trust, courage and great faith in our Lord.

On Holy Saturday, Violaine and I facilitated a retreat with 25 young adults.

De Seve & Toronto

I wondered,"Who will I become?"

You taught me to be fully me… just like you have become fully you.

Je vous envoie au beau milieu d'un monde

Où Dieu pourtant m'a déjà envoyé,

Mais désormais, c'est par vous qu'il rencontre

Les coeurs blessés qu'il cherche à visiter.

Allez! Je vous envoie porter la Bonne Nouvelle. Allez! Je vous envoie

Par toute ta terre!

N’emportez rien sinon pour tout bagage, qu’un peu de pain flétri au quotidien

L’amour n’est rien si nul ne le partage, si votre cœur ne lui donne des mains

Ne craignez pas d'avoir à vous défendre

Devant les grands et leurs savants discours. l'Esprit viendra! Il saura vous apprendre

Les mots qu'il faut pour annoncer l'Amour.

Thank you to all who accompanied me.

Je vous suis très reconnaissante.

I can’t wait to share the Good News with others!
