Dear Springfield community

Please keep Sr Caroline in prayer. She had a terrible fall in the convent last week, resulting in a broken femur. As she recuperates in hospital and will soon to be moved to a step down facility, simple yet profound sentences are uttered by her as a variety of the Springfield community continue to visit her... "be grateful that you are able to get up each day'. How many of us actually consider this as we respond to alarm clocks and just get on with the day?

Let Sr Caroline be a constant reminder that life is precious, life is a gift and while we continue to live - let us be purposeful and be mindful of our blessings.

Get well soon, Sr Caroline.
