Introduction: As Associates renew their Associate commitment and Sisters their vows on this Feast of the Visitation; we unite in prayer for the August General Chapter. And we rejoice in the gift of thirty-five years of the CND Associate Relationship. Our reflection today calls attention to how Elizabeth can deepen our understanding of Visitation.
Refrain: O dearest Mother and Foundress, we seek not comfort or wealth
We only ask that in your name, God may be greatly loved and oh, so faithfully served.
My name is Wirsiy Juliet Bongkisheri. I school at G.B.H.S. Kumbo Form Four. I want to tell you about our book club. We are seven in number with two of our members now in Ndop. This club was started by Sister Mary Ann Rossi. Our dear Sister Cathy Molloy helps us to get the books for our club. Sister Mary Ann has also been a great help. We have read many books together but the book I really enjoyed reading with my friends is titled I Am Malala, a true story of a brave outspoken girl, the youngest winner of the Nobel prize. I like her story because it is a testament to the power of education to change the world. Her story has made me to realize that instead of using bombs and guns, words can be used to change the world. Other books the book club members have read together include A Girl Named Disaster, Chanda’s Wars, Chanda’s Secrets just to name a few. I really enjoy being in the book club.
