We are a
week into the new year. How are your plans for the 2014 progressing?
I read a
rather apt definition of New Year's resolutions somewhere that said "they
are promises I make to myself which I have no legal obligation to fulfill."
That sums it up rather well for most of
us, I'd say.
As we
have weathered some brutal temperatures and wind chills this week I've been
very aware of those who do not have the warmth and security that I have. As a
teacher at Villa Madonna Academy I have been part of our efforts to provide
food, socks and other necessities to the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky. We've
received their thanks on behalf of the many people they serve, those without
shelter, clothing, food or hope. I know that there is much to be done but I
think each of us who has so many blessings must do as much as we can for
others. 
I
encourage each of you to find out who needs your help and what ways you can
provide for those in need. It can be whatever amount or in whatever way you can
give. The needs are great and our care makes a difference.
Sr. Nancy Kordenbrock, OSB
