| Sisters of the Lamb of God For an ever greater love |
| Sister Mary Herbert |
When I was young, I was working in a bank, but things were soon to change.
One day our parish was visited by some religious sisters from France who were
traveling in parts of America to make known the new religious congregation of the
Sisters of the Lamb of God. The emphasis on being a missionary and their
rootedness in the Eucharist attracted me. I joined.
Since that time I have served in America, France and Africa. It was quite an
experience in Africa. We lived a month the people learning from them and sharing
their joys, sorrows, and learning from each other. We appreciated their joyful
simple ways of celebrating, and shared with them some benefits of modern
developments in the lines of electricity, water management, and home economics
as well as a medical dispensary.
Now, back in America, I am happy each day to share the Eucharist with persons
who are unable to attend mass. This is a wonderful ministry to bring Jesus to
those who cannot participate in the liturgy, but also I am happy for the chance to
spend time with these wonderful holy people. It is a mutual exchange of gifts in
Christ.
