That was certainly not easy for her at that time. She broke some conventions in her search for the right place in life. The repeated joining and leaving of several religious congregations were very courageous steps &#8211; facing the gossips of the people in the area was certainly not an easy way for her. And in a similar way also for her family, who also had to endure this chatter. Nevertheless, she was supported by them in her search, and they gave her strength and security.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva;\">For me, she is a role model for the unwavering quest to find the right path through life and not to worry too much about the gossip of others. Reflection and confirmation I receive in the conversation with God and our Salvatorian community, in which her work is still noticeable. It is our Salvatorian community that supports me and gives me the strength to seek and find my way. I hope you can experience this as well. Each of our paths is unique and different &#8211; but together we go into the same direction. In openness and tolerance for our different ways, we assist each other to make the love of God sensible for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS,Geneva;\">Happy Birthday, dear Mother Mary!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning on such a nice sunny day \ud83d\ude42 186 years ago Mother Maria was born.
