| Mother Josepha’s Prayer Weavers | Mother Josepha’s Prayer Weavers --by Deanna Go Bio, AB-58 BSC-59 ------------------------------------------------------ In a previous issue of We, the Alumnae, I wrote “Blessed Mother Josepha, SSpS, Our Prayer-Partner in the Time of Covid-19, CHSNAF NorthEast Chapter.” That article ended with the following paragraph:“The normalcy of our life has been shattered by this virulent disease and yet we are not daunted. Instead, we have taken pause from the busy-ness of our past ‘normal’ and following in the footsteps of Mother Josepha, we open our hearts, in silence and in isolation, to respond to the Holy Spirit and to those in need.”We are, indeed, undaunted as our tenacity has been galvanized by our devotion to Blessed Mother Josepha, SSpS, one of the three founders of the SSpS Congregation.In June 2020, as the pandemic raged on, the NorthEast Chapter led by Arlene Dadia-Torres, HS-78, organized some members to pray for our sick fellow-alumnae and for the pandemic to end. Ardent believers in the efficacy of Mother Josepha’s intercession, we channeled our passion into the path of her canonization, gathering every night at 7:00 EST to pray with her. When we started, we were fewer then 10 people; now we have an average attendance of 25 regulars every night.We christened ourselves “Mother Josepha’s Prayer Weavers,” a tribute to her work as a weaver. It also confers the significance of weaving a network of alumnae, from coast to coast of the United States and Canada, and from the Philippines, into a common cause. Every night without fail, we ask Mother Josepha, our prayer-partner, to accompany us as we open our hearts in supplication to receive the grace and mercy for healing. With this nightly devotion comes the fervent hope that the grace of canonization be attained for Mother Josepha.In her trademarked quiet simplicity, Mother Josepha unobtrusively works her miracles. As petitions come in every day, so do reports and good news of recoveries. Names constantly move from the lists of “the sick” and those “at risk” to the pages of thanksgiving. This is a wondrous case of the ordinary woman in her earthly life doing extraordinary work to help those who call upon her for help.We cannot keep a good thing under wraps, so we are inviting anyone and everyone to join us in prayer. Be one of Mother Josepha’s Prayer Weavers and together, let us weave the fabric of her “little miracles” into a banner heralding her canonization.If you would like to be a Weaver, please send a Viber message or an email to Arlene Dadia-Torres at mariagdtorres@gmail.com or to Raquel Soqueño-Peterson at petersonra@montclair.edu for the Zoom details. | Every night at 7:00pm EST | View Link |
