Recent events in the Congregation have given us more reasons and initiatives to know this Saint better, for we now call him too by the significant title \u201cFounder\u201d. How has this new affiliation affected us? And in the midst of other movements and transitions in our Congregation \u2013 going \u201cInto the Deep\u201d, Radical Transformation, Restructuring, Reconfiguration, Partnership \u2013 has the new title inspired and guided our movements intentionally? Personally and as community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pause and ask: \u201cWho is St. John Eudes to me, to us?\u201d What do I know of him?\u201d Better still is to borrow Jesus\u2019 intimate question to His disciples: \u201cWho do you say I am?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are between two important events, milestones that can inspire us to know our Father and Founder more. In the recent past, June 27, 2014 the <strong>Reunification of the two Congregations, Our Lady of Charity and the Religious of the Good Shepherd<\/strong>. So this year, the 10<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the union. In the near future, May 31, 2025, the <strong>Centenary of the Canonization of St. John Eudes! <\/strong>&nbsp;Two milestones we are blessed to celebrate, to offer heartfelt gratitude to God for. May our thanksgiving to God include our desire and action to know this faithful Saint of God and our dear Founder more intimately so that his spiritual legacy may enrich and embolden our efforts to translate this heritage into \u201ceffectiveness of mission\u201d for our times. For the glory of God and the salvation of each and every \u201cperson who is of more value than a world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Sr Mary Lourdes Fabia, RGS<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2752_9b9460-ed\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image2752_631465-53 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image2752_631465-53 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/August.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-2753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/August.jpg 365w, https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/August-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saint John Eudes: \u201cWho is He to us?\u201d The month of August brings the feast of St. John Eudes and every year we&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-monthly-reflections"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2754,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2752\/revisions\/2754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodshepherdsisters.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
