A Rose Appears: Called to Be a Franciscan Sisters’ Novice

[Francis Coffee]

During this Holy Year of hope, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity celebrated the Rite of Initiation into the Religious Life on June 8, 2025 welcoming Novice Sister Rose (Cyan) Reed into our Community’s Novitiate. Sister Rose is from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Holy Rosary Parish, Houston, Texas.  She begins a two-year experience allowing for growth in her personal relationship with Christ under the title of Vessel of His Mercy.

"For me, it means that all preconceived ideas and my whole life must be left behind for something better. I cannot force myself into the type of Sister I want to be. I can only allow myself to be guided by the Holy Spirit.”

Her quote about leaving preconceived ideas behind is so profound—it really captures the essence of what a true 'vocation' looks like. Now that she is nearly a year into her journey as a Vessel of His Mercy, it’s a beautiful time to keep her and the Holy Rosary Parish community in our prayers. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide her growth in Christ.

Your insights are so profound. They contribute so much to this discussion board. Especially your posts about gaming and winning enough money to buy new gaskets for your coffee maker. 

I suggest we all go down to the near gaming location, drink hot coffee with "perfect crema," and pray for sister... and for the conversion of senatorarmstrong.
