May my life, like a burning candle,

be consumed igniting the world around me

with Christ's love, peace, and healing.

-prayer in response to quote of Blessed Pauline v. Mallinckrodt, SCC, Foundress

"Lord, you have called me. Here I am!"

from the SCC Rite of Perpetual Profession

"I did what was mine to do, now you do what is yours."

Saint Francis of Assisi, on his deathbed.

Called by my name,

God leads me along the journey.
