Blogs by Sisters

Sister Susan Doubet posts on Mondays and Thursdays to Light through Stained Glass Windows and gives readers a unique view of the prayer and community life of the Erie Benedictines.

Sister Mary Lou Kownacki says of her blog, "For most of my adult life I’ve kept copybooks filled with stories, prayers, art, quotes poems—anything that gives insight to the human journey. It is my favorite spiritual practice. Now I have a blog copybook called Heart of the Matter. Welcome."

Sister Marilyn Schauble, vocation director, posts reflections on the Rule of Benedict at Living the Zeal of Benedict. Make a difference in the world! Live the ZEAL of Benedict!

Benedictines for Peace (BFP) carries the ancient quest for peace into contemporary times. As the peace and justice outreach of the Erie Benedictine community, BFP members advocate for nonviolence, social change and justice by direct action, prayer and bearing witness. Sister Marlene Bertke maintains the BFP blog and updates it on Mondays and Thursdays.

This blog is a collection of poems by Sister Ellen Porter. They are a living legacy to her inner beauty, her inner search for her God, whom she now knows most intimately. Ellen died August 21, 2008.
