Sr. Ricca Dimalibot, CCVI, contributes to “Reseeding Religious Life,” New from Liturgical Press

Sisters from around the world reflect on a synodal vision for the church and engage in a contemplative dialogue on the emerging future of religious life in Reseeding Religious Life through Global Sisterhood, released in November by Liturgical Press.  The book features essays from Sisters, the publisher says, that should challenge "all who dwell in faithfulness to God to a charismatic synodality: one that reveals the unfolding narrative of all our interconnections, calls us to nurture the conversations that will energize our distinct charisms, and inspires the flourishing of an emerging global sisterhood." 

 

In “Reseeding in Scorched Ground: Reclaiming My Vocation to Religious Life,” Sr. Ricca addresses, with unflinching candor and vulnerability, the emotional and spiritual toll of negotiating the many complexities and challenges of contemporary religious life. “Never once have I been asked why I remain a Sister,” she wrote, while describing the wellspring of divine compassion that strengthens and propels her forward in Hope.
