\u201cWhat do you see?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we came out of quarantine in January we received such a beautiful theme! \u201cWhat do you see? I see a flower of an almond tree\u201d<\/em> (Jer 1:11)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult when we feel helpless in the face of the suffering and hardships that afflict so many countries, as well as people close to us and our personal lives. And yet the question God asks Jeremiah is also addressed to us. It is a call to hope, trust and wonder, to gratitude that reconnects us with our divine source and makes us co-creators. God is at work, creating the new, showing us what is new; but do we let ourselves be challenged? \u201cWhat do you see?\u201d <\/em>What do we see beyond the chaos, beyond what seems to be the end of the road, a death? Can we see there the newness of life in which God speaks to us?<\/p>\n

In order to see this new life, we need to lift our heads, sharpen our vision to listen to our hearts as well as to in God. This way of looking has to do with inner listening. And we can see it in the opening, this almond blossom, this pure, fragile flower that turns us away from our limited and limiting thinking. There is something else, beyond, to be seen! What promise! In the uncertainty and turbulence of our time, a little sign of life, both beautiful and poetic, frees our heart and restores our confidence in the force of life. Jeremiah will be able to live with this hope that a future life will emerge because God watches over it; He is always present. God shows the prophet a sign of new life ahead of the difficult events that are to come: an almond branch in blossom.<\/p>\n

In our retreat Brother Richard reminded us that Jesus used this image of fragile beauty when he spoke of the lilies of the fields (Mt 6). He emphasized that we can love this fragile beauty, consent to it, for there is the love of God that never leaves us. It\u2019s enough to be in our right place today: that is, in God\u2019s love. And so we are freed from our anguish and anxiety.<\/p>\n

In Hebrew the word \u2018almond\u2019 has the same root as the word \u2018keep watch\u2019. God keeps watch and calls us to do the same, he calls us to watch, to be awake and wholly present with all our being, all our faculties. Yes, this almond blossom is fragile, delicate, but produces fruit that is protected by a hard shell that must be cracked in order to eat it. What a transformation! Watching, being awake in this new way of looking \u2013 watching for a sign of hope. The sign of God\u2019s active presence is given through that \u2018little almond blossom\u2019, through beauty. That is what will save the world, said Dostoyevsky. It is the artist\u2019s and the child\u2019s way of seeing that is truly able to watch, to observe, to wonder. Beauty is present everywhere but we need to stop and take time to perceive beyond the visible to the Invisible world that gives us a sign.<\/p>\n

Take the risk of letting go of what we think we know. The danger is in staying with one single outlook to which these troubled times keep pushing us. That one thought that claims to have all the truth and is opposed to intuition, to openness to what is greater than our thinking, to what rises from another place that is beyond us and surprises us – not logical but half-whispered as we listen in prayer; \u201cMy thoughts are not your thoughts, your ways are not my ways\u201d, <\/em>says God in Isaiah 55.<\/p>\n

The rabbis say \u201cListening is going to visit someone else\u2019s world\u201d<\/em>. That means without wanting to seize it, to capture it or to bring it into my own way of seeing. It means being able to change perspective. Listening, intentionally pausing my own reactions, my point of view, and taking the longer way round someone else\u2019s way of looking; allowing their word to take all the space it needs. Just being there, totally present to the Other and others. Leaving space for the Breath of the Spirit, where something new can arise. Listening like that is to love truly, authentically. To live the parable of communion.<\/p>\n

If we are on a path of growth, it is because somewhere in our history we have been confronted by death and its apparent meaninglessness. That moment pushed us to search for God and to believe that there is meaning despite everything. Somewhere deep down in us we know that we come from God and return to God. And our journey on earth should invite us to remain anchored in this reality of God\u2019s world, of the Kingdom, to make it apparent in our way of living, of being, of listening. And\u2026to always choose life! Thus, this pandemic that brings us face to face with death, can be a real source of life when we dare to face it without running away.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the world around us frightens us, Christian hope asks us a very simple question: how can we make of all that a chance to love more?\u201d (<\/em>Adrien Candiard) This year\u2019s theme invites us to look, to contemplate the beauty of life and to rejoice in it, listening to the echo it awakes in us, instead of remaining fixed on what\u2019s going badly. \u201cMaking everything an opportunity to love\u201d and so contribute to the transformation of shadows into light.<\/p>\n

A greater Love surrounds us from which nothing can separate us. If only we could welcome that Reality and love the Life we are given, which is so beautiful. Even in the very depth of darkness and death that try to dominate us, it shines out and constantly speaks to us – if we open wide our eyes and the ears of our heart.<\/p>\n

At the dawn of this year, which will soon be upon us, what do you see? What are you ready to contemplate? Through the birth of this Child who comes in poverty, what will we choose to see?<\/p>\n

As Brother Alois puts it: \u201cLet us let Christ renew our way of looking\u201d. <\/em>Yes, what if that is all we need?<\/p>\n

After the pause during the summer of 2020, Coronavirus starting spreading again, and everyone had to find how to live with this reality. That was a call to see and to hear something different again.<\/h2>\n

Sailing on a wave of prayer<\/h3>\n

Do we discern the work of the Holy Spirit in the unsettling times that the world experiences these days? I\u2019d like to share a little example:<\/p>\n

Our work to prepare for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2021 began three years ago. The liturgy and prayers\u2014so carefully prepared with help of the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity\u2014presented in the booklet of 2021, were being read and appreciated by many already in the process of preparation!<\/p>\n

Everything seemed prepared, ready, perfect: the liturgy, the prayers, and our online presence. But\u2026 in the beginning of January our community was struck and strictly confined by Miss Covid! We were worried as many of our sisters were sick; our basic needs of food and health preoccupied us and we prayed that nobody would become severely ill.<\/p>\n

I sat in my room, confined, alone, and sick. I was sad, and angry. Soon we all received in our rooms the prayer booklet, prepared for each moment of common prayer. Now we were to pray it by ourselves, in front of our individual candle, icon, and Bible\u2026. \u201cWhat a disappointment!\u201d I thought, staring, glaring out of the window. Some carefree birds constructed their nest under a corner of the roof of Arche (our chapel) that stood there, empty!<\/p>\n

But then, as if it was the Holy Spirit, I remembered Psalm 84: \u201cMy heart and flesh cry out for the living God. Even a sparrow finds a home, and a swallow, a nest for herself where she places her young\u2014 near your altars.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In this moment something in me got back in place, turned around. I realized suddenly that, if we, as a community, have prayed for Christian unity since the beginning of our history… could we not be carried, this particular week, by the prayer for unity of others? As so many around the globe were praying with the materials we prepared, could we just let go and take care of ourselves this week? Prayer does not begin or end with our personal efforts, success or failures…. it is a wave of prayer on which we are sailing. And this wave is so big that it can do without us for a little week; it carries us no matter!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luckily, at some point in the week, the sisters who were not sick could gather for the evening prayers. And the wave of prayer carried me through. It even made me able again to pray fully and wholeheartedly in my room, confined, sick and alone. Could I have experienced that if we would have been able to pray as planned? I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n

Yes, the ways of the Spirit can be surprising, unsettling. And yet, we might discern the One that holds us. May we always sail on the waves of prayer, driven forward by the wind of the Spirit.<\/p>\n

And from Hilary in England<\/h3>\n

The pandemic! At the start of the first lockdown I thought, and wrote too, \u201cUs, Servants of Unity, we know about that, we\u2019re used to it! That\u2019s our vocation \u2013 solitude and prayer in communion\u2026\u201d But, wait a minute, lockdown lasted a lot longer than we expected, and there are plenty of relationships in our lives, with people who we couldn\u2019t see. And then too, our churches stayed closed for months \u2013 we had no eucharists or other services, no singing, no parish life. But what affected us most was the atmosphere all around, of fear and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

For some time already I\u2019d been following evening prayer on the internet with the community on days when I was at home. But at the start of the pandemic I realised that I risked getting up later and later in the morning \u2013 and going to bed later and later at night. I needed more structure and a rhythm to the days. Fortunately it was spring-time and each morning sunrise was a little earlier; it became a joy to get up at 6am and to pray with the community and to sing praise to God (before my head was filled with thoughts and the day\u2019s to-do lists). And there was still time for personal prayer before breakfast\u2026 Yes, prayer in front of my computer is possible, and I can watch as the trees outside the window open their leaves, then flower, and then turn to the gold of autumn\u2026<\/p>\n

Soon after the start of the first lockdown it was Easter. And no possibility of services or any liturgy in our parishes. But we were able to take part in the Easter retreat that the community shared with us through the internet. What a blessing! I even got up at 4am to light a small fire outside before dawn on Easter morning! And I knew that I was praying with the sisters\u2019 community and with many of the Servants of Unity who were increasingly joining the prayers online. And that means praying with the wider Church, far beyond the internet.<\/p>\n

In January 2021 Grandchamp was locked down too, with each sister alone in her room; all of a sudden there was no more transmission from the chapel. For those of us dispersed and far away that came as a shock, a loss, but also a reminder that our prayer-in-communion does not depend on the internet! And the meditations for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity were already posted on the website. Like so many other people, many of us, Servants of Unity, have learned to meet using zoom \u2013 and so we were able to live the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity together, and in more depth than usual.<\/p>\n

But the pandemic was not over. Each of us remained alone, at home. Joining with the intercessions of the community morning and evening opens us up to the world in a tangible way. Together we pray for real people, real situations. And also, we find we need this encouragement to persevere in prayer. Connecting with the prayer of the community at certain moments in the day supports us in our commitment.<\/p>\n

And so, we thank God for all that we\u2019ve discovered during this time that we could not have imagined, for the journey we\u2019re making together in prayer. And we thank the community for all that they continue to share with us, through the possibilities offered by technology![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”15px||0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”15px||1px” custom_padding_phone=”” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”3.23.3″ custom_margin=”0px||” custom_padding=”0px||0px”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||-4px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n

Day to day work must go on, with or without coronavirus. What else can we see that\u2019s new? Martine, a volunteer, tells us:<\/h3>\n

My first memories of the community go back to when I was in my twenties; we used to tumble in all together, with our guitars, to morning prayer – the youth group in Colombier with students from Neuch\u00e2tel – there we were, Sister Anne-Marie\u2019s \u2018groupies\u2019, looking a bit rough after spending the night by the lake. Since that time, Grandchamp has remained a special place for me, a home-base, somewhere to find new strength and peace.<\/p>\n

Later on, as I reached retirement after living for 30 years in Geneva and I moved back to live in Auvernier again, it seemed natural that I should be involved in the everyday life of the Community.<\/p>\n

Every Wednesday I come to the laundry to iron a hundred or more kitchen towels, hand-towels and other cloths that witness to the intense and laborious work that goes on in this seemingly calm place. Dozens of table napkins, some of which remind me of the house linen of our forebears, damask ones with mysterious initials embroidered on them that have become almost transparent from wiping hundreds of mouths. It\u2019s the handkerchiefs that touch me most, especially when there are lots of them: all those germs harvested! Or could they be tears? Sometimes there are huge white tablecloths: from celebrations? or birthdays? Something I really like are the sisters\u2019 head-scarves, because of the name-tapes that evoke their faces; a thought flies up for this sister, and another thought for that one…and week after week you really get the feeling of belonging to the family.<\/p>\n

This commitment with Grandchamp is a key moment in my week as a retiree, and gives me great satisfaction, doing something useful, simple and practical: a moment to pause in the silence (not always) that is so dear to the Community and to me as well, a very special time of sharing that often continues in the Evening Prayer.<\/p>\n

From my balcony when I get home I can see the huge roof of the \u2018L\u2019Arche\u2019 chapel, it is not a church steeple, but….a star. One of my singing teachers \u2013 who died of Aids \u2013 had an inspiring saying: \u201cTo make sure your furrow is straight, hitch yourself to a star!\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.75)” background_image=”https:\/\/www.grandchamp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Version-9.jpg” background_blend=”overlay” custom_padding=”19px|||||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||-4px|||” custom_padding=”||20px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n

At Grandchamp<\/strong> <\/em><\/h3>\n

This year our community reflection has often been about the pandemic and its challenges, thus underlining the importance of rooting our lives again and again in what is essential, so that in our mutual relationships we can live a deeper quality of looking and listening, and thus respect our differences. This rootedness helps us to carry together our fragilities, whilst recognising each one\u2019s particular gifts; it also leads to a greater openness, creativity and helping one another in our work.<\/p>\n

Sister Heidi-Elisabeth left for the new project at Sonnenhof, and Sisters Irmtraud and Miriam returned to Grandchamp; these were big changes. Although we are a large community, we still need help. So we are planning to form a \u2018Circle of Friends of Grandchamp\u2019 to support us. This idea came from an outside advisor who looked at how we organise our work, and from the encouraging experience at Sonnenhof. A group of volunteers is now looking at this plan with some sisters to see how to put it into practice. In this way our lack of resources becomes an opportunity to share that benefits us all.<\/p>\n

In the days before Pentecost we had a session on listening, with Rev Pierre-Andr\u00e9 Pouly and Yolande Boinnard, that helped us deepen and sharpen our own listening. We learned much through their exercises, and they proposed a catch-phrase: \u201cHave I heard you properly?\u201d. This creates a space between us, and a new freedom to share opens up in our relationships.<\/p>\n

Hospitality<\/em><\/strong> has demanded a good deal of creativity and some re-arranging lately. For example, we changed the reception area into a dining room for our guests. Some retreats had to be canceled, while others took place with fewer participants or on-line. Modern technology has certainly helped!<\/p>\n

Some of our missions<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em><\/strong> Our attendance at various meetings has been much reduced or taken place using Zoom. And so during the Week of Prayer for Unity we were able to respond to interviews and requests coming from different countries and churches. In March Sister Anne-Emmanuelle joined Belgian Benedictine Mother Abbesses to talk about\u2026 the post-pandemic(!); Sister Sonja took part in the Church and Peace meeting. Sister Pascale spoke at the meeting of the Association of Saint Silouane – fortunately this could be a face-to-face meeting in St Maurice; and Sister Carolina was able to get to Leysin for the Christian Forum of French-speaking Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Another example of creativity \u2013 Sister Francoise has painted a \u2018Way of the Cross\u2019 which has just been published.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||-4px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sisters celebrating!<\/em> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the Council, on August 6th<\/sup>, we celebrated the Transfiguration with the profession of Sister Svenja, and the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the professions of Sisters Christianne and Ingeborg-Marie. Sadly we were not able to welcome as many guests as usual for the occasion, but from far and near you upheld us in prayer and surrounded us with signs of friendship. The Lord\u2019s faithfulness in our lives can be so tangible! Even more so as we celebrated the 60th<\/sup> anniversary of the professions of Sister Anne-Genevi\u00e8ve and Sister Monique on September 3rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Something new is developing at Sonnenhof<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Early in 2022, a project \u201cWeggemeinschaft\u201d will begin: a new kind of community life. Grandchamp sisters will share with lay companions in a temporary life-community. Together they will continue the mission of silence and retreat at Sonnenhof. An adventure that requires trust and boldness![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||25px|||” custom_padding=”28px||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]At Woudsend <\/strong>(in the Netherlands) Sister Christianne with Maria de Groot have lived through some uncertain times, and some good times, always carried by hope and prayer. Their creativity has been able to develop through their writing, as well as through the solidarity that is so clearly there in the village.<\/p>\n

The residents of Catharinahof in the Netherlands where Sister<\/strong> Janny<\/strong> lives were much affected by all the Covid Restrictions. Even so the prayer flourished and was stimulated by the news they could all share, sometimes bringing echoes of distant lands.<\/p>\n

In the Home where she resides Sister<\/strong> Anne-Genevi\u00e8ve<\/strong> has also had to cope with restrictions, as has Sister Gabrielle<\/strong> in the centre for the Disabled. These times have been hard, really hard, when there was no getting together to sing, or prepare a drama as all common activities had to stop. But now little by little new things are possible and bring back hope.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||-4px|||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”||||||||” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n

The idea of (re)opening Fraternities remain a topic close to our hearts. We are still considering being present in Taiz\u00e9 \u2013 only Sister Lucie-Martine was able to spend two months there this year \u2013 and in Israel.
