Sisters Of The Living Word
In 1975 ninety women answered the call of Vatican II to re-examine religious life. Leaving an older international religious congregation, the Sisters of Christian Charity, they began a journey to fashion a new religious community named the Sisters of the Living Word. With the inspiration of Annamarie Cook, their Foundress, they opened themselves to the Spirit in order to find new life for themselves and the people with whom and for whom they work.

Famous quotes containing the words sisters, living and/or word:
“If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“See! those fiendish lineaments graven on the darkness, the writhed lip of scorn, the mockery of that living eye, the pointed finger, touching the sore place in your heart! Do you remember any act of enormous folly, at which you would blush, even in the remotest cavern of the earth? Then recognize your Shame.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
“The word “tomorrow” was invented for indecisive people and for children.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
