REDEMPTORISTINE NUNS of NEW YORK, Inc.

Skipping to the end of October, we celebrate the birthday 
of Blessed Celeste. In fact, she was born on All Hallows Eve, 1696! 

September 11^th was her feast day.  We were surprised and delighted that most of the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill 
joined us in celebrating her feast day by wearing some red 
to Mass!  At Mass, we sang this hymn written by Sister Moira for the feast day ~ and will sing it again on her birthday, October 31. 

                  O BLEST CELESTE  

  O blest Celeste, with single gaze
 Did live her life with joy and praise;
 In liberty of mind and heart
 Was Spirit guided from the start.

 This woman was transformed by grace
 And prayed the world God’s Love embrace; 
 That in our turn we may be one
 With our Redeemer, God’s own Son.                         
                                                 Tune: ON JORDAN’S BANK
                        Blessings to all ~ have a beautiful Fall!
