Sr Rachel Myriam Skype

Earlier this term we skyped Sr Rachel Myriam in the Philippines.  She is a Sister in the Order Missionaries of Mary.  The purpose of our skype was to ask her about her Vocation in the Holy Order, 1 of the 7 sacraments we were learning about at the time.  (Can you remember the other 6?!)  She showed us her habit and explained reasons and symbolism relating to her garb.
We also asked her about challenges she faces.  One was certainly the weather ... the police were getting around Manilla in boats during the latest flooding.  The weather was also a challenge for us because it wiped out our skype connection!  But what a great experience it was was for us :)
Sr Rachel Myriam's main message was that we are ALL called to Holiness.
