Maureen Glavin, RSCJ preaches for the Second Sunday of Easter, offering a reflection on seeking and believing:
"On this topic of deep knowing or mature belief, I often think of the founder of my congregation, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. She wrote regularly about the interior life or interior spirit. Her own contemplative practice provided her with the kind of ongoing experiences which allowed her to know what it tasted like, felt like, to be in union with, communion with, in relationship with, touched by and touching, the living Christ. So, what about us?"
A native of upstate New York, Sr. Maureen Glavin has been a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart for 34 years.
