"Prayer is true heavenly food and nourishment for the soul, which will starve without it. It is a remedy for the sick who desire to recover again, joy for the afflicted, strength for the weak, medicine for sinners, delight for the just, mutual support for the entire church.”

Forgive over and over and over? How do we understand this gospel call to discipleship, which seems so difficult? How is it even possible to live this way? The saints show us.

Always focused on taking care of others, Joanna is remembered by her Sisters as kind, cheerful, and solicitous of their physical needs, her outgoing and friendly spirit endeared her to the many people she encountered in her 60 plus years as an SSND. May Joanna rest in peace and intercede for us.
