Some Reflection
Many communities in the religious life, stick with one apostolate, therefore sparing some pain of leaving except for being transferred to lets say different Schools in the area of Education, whereas many communities have about some or 7 to 9 apostolates in different countries or long distances in the United States. Soo...many times we are mistaken, and take pride in our work especially if the work is in a field of expertise we are used to doing or love doing in our former life, so many times we are pained and confused because we come to be attatched too much to one place, that the next year we are transferred to a different place or a different apostolate. Not to say this doesnt happen to a community who teaches and suddenly out branches to far places or different countries. It is only fair to say that the life being led is a life being in need of constant sacrifice and of giving and forgiving, look at our Lord - who sacrificed so much, and all for us. We must do the same to know that when we offer our sacrifices and our troubles, and so forth we will not feel or be in despair, but know He will come and be our strength, and comfort...
