Redemptoristine Nuns of NY, Inc.

Here we are in the doldrums of winter and the pandemic.  We lift our hearts to the one God who knows our fears, sorrows and fatigue. Though the Christmas decorations are a fading memory, let us not forget the Divine Heart of our Loving God who became human like one of us in Jesus.   Jesus shows us how to live with trust and confidence that all is in God's mighty hands.  Held gently in those hands, God calls us to be the Body of Christ by forgetfulness of self.  To reach out in the many ways we are able to share love and hope with those around us. 

In the middle of February we celebrate love on St. Valentine's Day.
There is a legend that tells of the Roman Physician, Valentine, who was jailed and sentenced to death for practicing Christianity.   The blind daughter of the jailer was
a patient of the physician. Just before being executed on February 14, 250 AD, Valentine handed the girl
a note.   Knowing of the healing properties of the flower,  Valentine wrapped a bright yellow CROCUS in the message.  When the girl opened the note, her sight was restored and she read the words, “From your Valentine.”

One way to reach out and share God's love is by doing something
old fashioned: write notes, by hand.  Draw a happy little crocus in the corner of the paper.  It will lift your heart and the one who recieves it!  

"Life for me is Christ." Phil1:21
