Fourth Sunday of Lent: Master a new way of seeing
Jesus’ healing action for the blind man — which happened on a Sabbath — spurred deeper questions: How and when does God act in our world? What does God want from us?



The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet are a congregation of Catholic sisters. We, and those who share our charism and mission, are motivated in all things by our profound love of God and the dear neighbor.
The spirituality of the Sisters of St. Joseph is centered in love, the central commandment of Jesus—a love that seeks to achieve unity of neighbor with neighbor and neighbor with God. Our life together in prayer and in community impels us to reach out to the dear neighbor, whoever they may be, whatever the need they might have.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet work to bring loving unity to a divided world. Urgent needs call us to bold conversation and prophetic action. We educate, advocate and take action to promote social justice.

Liturgical dance is the art of dance that takes place in the context of a liturgy or worship service. Much like liturgical music, the purpose of liturgical dance is the deepening and enriching of the community’s prayer.

The story of the Transfiguration bids us to let go of inadequate images of God in order to discover something new. Free of our preconceptions, we can be surprised by God’s unimaginable designs.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet are a congregation of Catholic sisters. We, and those who share our charism and mission, are motivated in all things by our profound love of God and our dear neighbors. We seek to build communities and bridge divides between people. Since our first sisters gathered in 1650, our members have been called to “do all things of which women are capable.” The first sisters of our congregation arrived in St. Louis, Missouri in 1836, and we now have additional locations in St. Paul, Albany, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Japan and Peru. Today, we commit to respond boldly to injustice and dare to be prophetic.
