What do sisters do all day?
Answer
A Sister's day consists of components of prayer, ministry and community. Times of personal and community prayer are essential in developing a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. Liturgical prayer also keeps a consecrated woman religious connected to the universal Church. No vocation is given for the sake of the person herself, and so Sisters direct much of their time and energy toward serving the needs of God's people. Ministries vary with communities and individuals and include such areas as pastoral work, education, health care and social services. Community life is integral to the vocation of a Sister. Sisters share support in prayer and ministry as well as fun and common household tasks.
