#SacredHeartQuaker

Four years ago I wrote in my cover letter about how well the Goals of Sacred Heart Education (faith, intellect, service, community, growth) align with my own personal values. Since then my love for Sacred Heart spirituality has only grown, as I have learned that the core of the Sacred Heart mission is to bring more love to the world and as every Sacred Heart nun I have met I has embodied that commitment. In the last couple years, I've even become a Sacred Heart Associate, a lay member of the Sacred Heart community. But if I'm really honest with myself, my commitment was more head than heart - even as I introduced myself to my small group at the beginning of the Sacred Heart Spirituality Forum this week, I explained that what I love about Sacred Heart spirituality is its ability to ARTICULATE the commitment to love that is central to my spirituality. Through the forum, though, Sacred Heart spirituality moved from my head to my heart. It is a way of life, and I am deeply proud to be counted among its adherents.
