Bonanova, December 24, 2020

 

Queridas Hermanas,

Cuando nos preparamos para acoger al EMMANUEL, ha sido El quien se ha adelentado para acoger a nuestra Hermana Rosa María Cartucha (sr. Loreto) y poderla llevar a celebrar junto a El, la gran fiesta de la Navidad.

Rosa María cumplió los cien años en Abril de este año 2020 y esta mañana con mucha paz  ha celebrado su segundo nacimiento, por la eternidad.

Damos gracias a Dios por su vida, por habernosla dejado tanto tiempo con plenas facultades, por lo que ha representado para cada una de la Comunidad. Que desde el cielo interceded por todas.

A hug, Comunidad de Bonanova

Our Sister Ede Venturi  went to the Lord in her 79th year and 57 years of religious life 

Sao Paulo August 15, 2020

 

Dear Sisters,

 

We inform you that today around 9 am. Our Lady of the Assumption, our mother Mary,   came to fetch Sister Ede Venturi. Apparently her clinical condition was good, but  today she had a faint, and by the time the SAMU arrived she was already dead. 

Let us remain united in prayer. We are sure that the good  God has already received her into his Kingdom, rewarding her for all her life given  and her generosity in the service of the Lord.

 

Very fraternally,

Sr Angelina

 

Queridas Irmãs, bom dia!

 

Comunicamos que hoje por volta das 9h, Nossa Senhora veio buscar a Ir. Ede. Aparentemente, dentro do seu quadro clínico, estava bem, mas hoje teve um desmaio repentino e quando o SAMU chegou, já estava morta.  Fiquemos unidas na oração.  Com certeza Deus  já  a recebeu em seu Reino,  recompensando-a por toda a sua vida de doação e generosidade no serviço ao Senhor. 

Abraco fraterno,

Ir. Angelina

Pascua de nuesta Hna. Nelida Moreno -  16 de marzo de 2020

Hna. Nélida Moreno went to the Lord on March 16, 2020 in her 100th year, in Argentina  at the Convento.

souvenir_nélida2.jpg

Hoy 16 de marzo a eso de las 16.30 hs. se despidió nuestra HERMANA NÉLIDA MORENO. Se fue durmiendo slowly in a sueño of 100 años. 

Tuvimos la gracia de compartir con ella su cumpleaños número cien en agosto del año pasado. Como anécdota, pidió de regalo "ni sábanas, ni toallas o jabones, quiero tener un teléfono celular"... Nos queda su testimonio, su entusiasmo. La palabra que repitió hasta el cansancio en estos últimos meses fue: "Hermana"!... Necesitando compañía, contención... Ahora la disfrutará plena en una eterna comunión fraterna, con todas nuestras hermanas y Santa Emilie. Muchas gracias a la Comunidad y Equipo del Convento que la acompaño con mucha paciencia y cariño.

Fue una mujer fuerte, líder y emprendedora. Como dijo una hermana: "Quebracho santiagueño" (in reference to a typical tree of the region of Nació, of madera muy fuerte y noble) 

Brindaremos con vos querida Nélida con un rico vino y empanadas!! Acompañanos y "sostené nuestro ánimo" in difficult times.

¡Hasta siempre!, tus hermanas

PASCUA DE NUESTRA HNA. MARIA VICTORIA ARANO

 

Queridas Hermanas:

Nos unimos a toda la Congregación en acción de gracias por la vida de nuestra querida hermana María Victoria Arano. Hoy 26 de febrero muy early vivió su pascua definitiva. Se quedó dormida a sus 100 años. A fines de diciembre suffered a fractured femur, in the community of Tandil. Después de la cirugía la pudimos traer al Convento, para cuidarla en la Casa de las Hermanas Mayores pero se fue debilitando. Nunca perdió la lucidez y hasta ayer leyó el diario y pidió más libros...  Una mujer muy querida, sensible y solidaria! A matriarch. La vamos a extrañar!!
