With Thanks
With a spirit of deep gratitude, we thank all who have travelled with us through this journey of sixty, seventy, seventy-five and eighty years.
Our parents, siblings, cousins, and friends who have loved us through all the stages of life.
Our Sisters in community, who have taught us to pray, to ritualize loss, and to celebrate God's abundant blessings.
Our colleagues in ministry, who have encouraged us to mature our gifts and talents for the good of the world.
Our God, continually calling us into deeper relationship and drawing all things into Divine Mystery.
For all - we give thanks.
