Sr. Barbara Anne Gluck
I was a middle-aged woman wanting to give the rest of my life totally to God after raising a family. My desire for this life was very strong and my daily payer was one of perseverance in discernment. "Not my will, but God's will be done in me." When I contacted the SSJ-TOSF I found listening ears, respect and understanding regarding my desire to make a life commitment.
I began my spiritual journey with the SSJ-TOSF in 1997.This has been my greatest joy. The greatest challenge was finding a job and adapting to the schedules of the religious life process.
Today's society needs God, and needs to listen to one another and put prayer back into daily life.

I felt God was calling me to be a sister. I felt close to the SSJ-TOSF at the grade school I attended—all nine grades. The sisters were exceptional women. I felt very close to them and they took great interest in each of their students.
I came to teach and do whatever God wanted me to do as a woman religious. My greatest joy as a sister was that I developed the God-given talents within me. They let me be me!
Women should consider religious life if they are loving, giving, happy people who are aware that they live as a community, not singly, and that religious women have much to offer people and the world.
