As we prepare to celebrate Easter, we share reflections by Sisters on the Gospel readings for Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. May you be blessed with the hope and joy of our risen Savior during this season of rebirth and renewal!
Holy Thursday
The Eucharist and the washing of feet are the topic for Sister Marilyn Kerber, SNDdeN's reflection, including how we in modern times can "wash one another's feet."
Good Friday
Sister Marilyn Pechillo, SNDdeN writes, "Many people question the name Good Friday. What is so good about it?"
Easter Vigil
Brazilian Sister Sandra Araujo Santos, SNDdeN writes of pain and of healing, and the need to leave pain behind with joy and strength.

Easter Sunday
As she views the Gospel reading from the point of view of Mary Magdalen, Sister Anne-Louise Nadeau, SNDdeN makes a connection to how many women feel.
Glimpses of God's Goodness are published for all Sundays and Feast Days at www.sndden.org, the international website of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
