May 2018
A Note from Marian... Dear Associate Sisters and Brothers, BUSY seems to be the byword these days. Every day I hear complaints about being TOO busy. The universal reason for sending late birthday cards, or none at all? Too busy. Missed a grandchild’s baseball game? Too busy. Haven’t met the new family living down the street? Too busy. Scorched the mac and cheese? Busy elsewhere and didn’t hear the timer ring. Multi-tasking has been shown to reduce efficiency rather than increase it, yet we continue to pursue it. Post-It notes dot my desk and calendar reminding me of obligations for the next busy day. I myself cannot watch a television program without a knitting project or some paperwork in my lap. Those of us who are attached at the wrist to our electronic devices paint a similar picture. How about a day away from all that? Associates and Sisters Day is June 23. Join us for the essence of Ursuline Hospitality – a day of prayer and friendship. Enjoy a refreshing ride through the greening countryside as you drive to beautiful Mount Saint Joseph. During the lunch break, walk among the trees to appreciate the crops growing in orderly rows and the black cattle leisurely grazing in the field. I suggest you set aside some time right now, before you’re too busy. Complete the registration form on the last page of this newsletter and mail it to me. Or go online to register electronically with a click of your mouse. You’ll be glad you did!

Loving God, I renew my commitment TODAY as an associate of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. I promise to proclaim the gospel of Jesus through the actions of my everyday life. While continuing to live the vocation to which You have called me, I will embrace their charism and share in their mission, ministries, goals, ideals and challenges. I will pray for the Ursuline Sisters and Associates of Mount Saint Joseph and work to link my life with theirs in meaningful ways. I promise to grow in awareness of and commitment to the core values of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. …to foster a lived communion with God through daily prayer and a spirit of selfless service, generosity and hospitality, … to seek the reality of true peace and dignity for all peoples in all circumstances, … and to recognize and reverence the presence of Christ in each person I encounter. I make this promise for Your glory in the spirit of Saint Angela Merici, our founder and inspiration. AMEN.

Joanne Mason loves living and serving By Sister Ruth Gehres, OSU
S
pend an hour with Joanne Mason, and you’re sure to come away refreshed and energized. Joanne brings a positive attitude into every part of her life: her family, her faith, her career, and her service to others. Growing up in Montgomery, Ala., Joanne attended St. Jude Educational Institute, a noted school for African-American children. In the seventh grade, she converted to Catholicism – a decision that her parents supported and nurtured. Her two older sisters also joined the Church. Though her parents couldn’t afford college tuition, her guidance counselor discovered that she could attend Brescia College on a Pell Grant. It was her first time away from home. “My Dad brought me to Owensboro on the Greyhound bus,” she remembers, with her engaging smile. Joanne liked Brescia. She also enjoyed socializing with her classmates and their friends, including Frank Mason, a young man from Hawesville who was soon attracted to Joanne. She “had a lot of the values I think people should have,” Frank says. Within a few months, Frank and Joanne were engaged. They married in September 1971 in Montgomery, then returned to live in Lewisport, Ky. Here their son, Christopher Michael, was born. Family responsibilities changed Joanne’s educational goals. While Frank was employed at Commonwealth Aluminum (now Aleris), she worked at the Lewisport Public Library, then in a credit union – a job she really enjoyed. With Frank’s encouragement, she completed a two-year management program with CUNA – the Credit Union National Association – which led her into a productive career as manager of Friends First Credit Union in Owensboro.
Joanne speaks about the credit union with affection. “It was a place where people were greeted by name and could always count on a listening ear, for financial counseling or for friendly conversation, and sometimes even praying together,” she reflects. Joanne After more than 30 years, she retired in March 2018. Joanne and Frank are active members of Saints Joseph and Paul Parish in Owensboro, where she has served as a Eucharistic Minister, lector, and minister of hospitality. She has just completed a term as a member of the Parish Council. Frank and Joanne have always enjoyed doing things together. Both love sports, especially tennis and bowling, and “we like to cook together!” Then she adds, “We laugh a lot, in good times and bad. Laughter is a window to the soul.” Joanne’s acquaintance with Ursuline Associates began through her friendship with associates Gloria Adams and Mary Ann Schilling of the Hawesville Associate group. She became an associate in 1989. Since then she has served on the Finance Committee of the Ursuline Community, and she is now in her second term on the Finance Committee of the Retreat Center Advisory Board. “I love to come to the Mount,” Joanne says. “There’s a spirit within these walls, and I feel at home.” She remembers that while carrying her, her mother had been very ill. “She prayed to God that she wouldn’t lose her baby, and she dedicated me to God,” Joanne remembers with her warm smile. “Being part of the Ursuline Associates is a part of that. When I’m associated with the Ursulines, I feel that I’m using the talents God gave me for something good.”

Reflective Moments Moments Reflective
Rituals add depth, stability to daily living By Sister Marietta Wethington, OSU
Rituals sustain us. Father Ron Rolheiser tells us rituals serve us well and keep us doing things that aren’t always easy to do. Daily prayer is an example. Many of us are committed to daily morning and evening prayer, and prayer before and after meals. Sometimes it would just be so much easier to forget about the prayer. We have Liturgy of the Hours daily beginning at 6:55 a.m. followed by Mass at 7:15 in our chapel. Sometimes I just want to stay in bed; however, I value praying with my sisters and those who come to pray with us in our chapel. It is a ritual that keeps me going. Saint John of the Cross said something very similar. He said that one of the greatest problems that we face daily in our prayer is boredom. It is then that ritual will sustain us. Many families are committed to coming together for meals. I think that would be a very enriching time when parents and children share about their day. A ritual that sustains them. We Ursuline Sisters come together in our dining room for meals. Sometimes it would be easier to just stay away or to get my food early and take it to my room and eat by myself. However, I like the ritual of eating together so I keep going to the dining room.
I thought about some of the rituals in my daily life. I will share a few. Sister Grace Simpson prays in the Motherhouse When I wash my hands, I chapel. Daily prayer can pray the words the priest be a powerful ritual. prays at Mass: “Wash away my iniquities and cleanse me of my sins.” I make the sign of the cross on my forehead, my lips and my heart each morning when I get up and again each night as I retire. Each morning I pray that I will be a blessing to someone today. As I dress each morning I pray the scripture passage from Colossians 3: 12-15, asking God to clothe me with all those wonderful qualities St. Paul talks about. Yes, I believe that rituals sustain us. Reflection: What are the rituals that sustain your life?n Participants in a men’s retreat at St. Meinrad, Ind., filled bags with water filter parts to support Water With Blessings, the clean water ministry led by Ursuline Sister Larraine Lauter, on Feb. 24. The bags were to be sent to Haiti. Left to right: Associate Jerry Birge; St. Meinrad Deacon Daniel Gilbert, and St. Meinrad Knights of Columbus Grand Knight Marc Bentley.
Again, it is Father Rolheiser who tells us that rituals help us to be polite when we feel grumpy and out of sorts. The only thing that keeps us doing it is that we know it is right. And later we will regret being so rude. We can’t let feelings rule our rituals. When Dietrich Bonhoeffer prepared couples for marriage he told them that love wouldn’t sustain their marriage, but ritual would. Couples would do well to develop some meaningful rituals that will carry them through the rough times. Jesuit Father Daniel Berrigan told us not to travel with someone who expects us to be interesting all the time. On a long journey there are bound to be boring stretches. That is, it seems to me, a good symbol for life. There are times when our life will hit a boring stretch. Develop a ritual that will help sustain you.
