I made this artwork for all my brothers and sisters in Christ. For the gift of the lessons I have learned on my journey to become an Oblate of St. Benedict and in honor to the Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton SD, to all the Sisters of St. Benedict who share our path to Christ. God Bless, Lisa Catherine

The link below will lead you to a printable copy of the full Rules of St. Benedict. I pray these pages will help you as you journey with me.

This is one of the most lovely pictures I've found so far, Angels are spirits that share our lives, through the total love of Jesus Christ our Lord, colour is not part of that world, yet we, as humans make it either an issue, or problem.... This picture just shows us LOVE in Christ.

So my journal begins, if you have questions or would like to share with me, while I won�t put up a �guest book� I am happy to answer email and if I don�t have the answer, I�ll find one, or will direct you to someone who can help.

Welcome aboard & Peace in Christ. Lisa Catherine
