TO PRAISE, TO BLESS, TO PREACH

Walking with many,

praying with many,

encouraging and encouraged,

changed and changing.

Transformed many times.

Moving in hope through uncertain times, depression, war, epidemics,

living in hope through times of growth and stability,

changed by society, Vatican II, internet age,

Speaking up for justice,

supporting and advocating,

praying with and for many,

questioning, learning and teaching.

Praising, blessing, preaching,

passing on the fruits of contemplation,

searching for truth,

living truth.

Dominican Sisters in Aotearoa New Zealand

from 1871.

Be with us as we mark one hundred and fifty years

of living with you.

Remembering, thanking,

forgiving, forgiven,

full of hope,

proclaiming Good News.
