Mission Meets the Moment by Jeanmarie Gribaudo, CSJ
Pictured above: Some participants in the first Zoom Meeting.
Hearing over and over again from young people in their 20’s and 30’s that they are yearning for spaces/places for reflection on their lives, Sisters Betsy Conway and Jeanmarie Gribaudo decided to send out a brief survey to young adults and young adult groups and invite them to envision an initiative that might help them reflect.
The survey has to date yielded the interest of over 40 young adults from all over the U.S. On February 18th, we had a brief ZOOM meeting with some of these young people, and was God present!
During the introductions, we were astonished by the “ever-widening” circles of relationships – almost every person had some connection to our CSSJ family. However, the most incredible moment was when one young woman asked us if we had ever heard of the CSJ prayer “State of the Heart.” She then proceeded to tell the group about six women in the 17th century in LePuy, France, who gathered nightly to share the state of their hearts . . . how God was acting in their lives. Can you believe this? Talk about the spirit moving.
As a result of the first meeting, Betsy and Jeanmarie will be meeting twice a month with these young people on ZOOM.
If you know of any young people in their 20’s and 30’s who might be interested, share this survey https://forms.gle/HpkWFQKSyWaaSfRs5 and we will include them in our email list.
