We, the Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana, are monastic women seeking God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. By our life and work, we commit ourselves to be a presence of peace as we join our sisters and brothers in the common search for God.

Reflection: Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday – John 20:1-9 – Mass during the Day
Today we celebrate Easter Sunday, the day on which our Lord and God, Jesus, rose from the dead! The question is: do we truly believe and remember the love that Jesus poured out for us so? Or do we focus on the Easter baskets, the candy, preparing the meal, enjoying the springtime weather? Is Easter simply another holiday, a day for family and perhaps for going to church?
I invite you to ask yourself on this Easter day: what am I celebrating? Am I celebrating having a day off and a great meal to eat? Am I simply enjoying being with my family and friends? However, will I take 5-10 minutes and spend some time with the best friend I have: Jesus, the man who gave his life for me! Jesus died and rose for us so that we can live with him, not only now, but forever! Today will we walk with him? Will we talk with Him? He is waiting for us! What will we choose?
