When you see the picture of this elder, are your first thoughts "loss and diminishment?

This is Sister Adrienne Marie, a Sister in my Congregation of Sisters of Divine Providence. On Sunday she will note 75 years as a Sister of Divine Providence. This is a beautiful picture of a beautiful person -- beautiful inside and out. This 90-something-year-old woman reflects life, vitality, warmth, and a deep relational capacity in this picture. Thank you, Sister, for providing such a positive, affirming view of what aging really can be. On to Sunday's celebration in our beautiful Conventual Chapel!
