I am a bit sad today because our Sister Fidelis went home to God today at 6:40 am. When I was a young religious she impressed me so much because she was so bright and yet so "practical" about things. She loved teaching. She loved sharing what she knew about teaching so that we could also learn to love to teach.
Just the other day she gave me a booklet about saints' stories. She was very, very generous. I remember gathering with a group of Sisters ... whoever wanted to stick around a few minutes...in the convent kitchen after evening dishes. I guess I love "acting" or acting up because I would encourage other Sisters to imitate...in a pantomime way...one of the Sister's walk, or gestures, or something unique and the rest of us would guess which Sister was being imitated. Well, for Sister Fidelis we would take out our imaginary handkerchief and with quick motions, wipe our nose and shove the handkie in our pocket and keep walking very fast. We would all burst out laughing because we would know exactly who that Sister was. She was FAST in all of her tasks.
God bless her and give a huge reward for all her works. God will have to spend the greater part of the day just listing all of her good deeds. Rest in peace, Sister! We love you!
