Intentional Lent with Sr. Cora Marie Billings
from Catholic Women Preach · host Catholic Women Preach
Preaching for Ash Wednesday, Sr. Cora Marie Billings invites us to live each day of Lent intentionally: "We know the scriptures also tell us that today is the day of salvation. So today - each day of Lent - as I go through it, I will focus on one thing that day. And the scriptures say a lot about almsgiving. For me, almsgiving is giving every part of my body - my voice, my heart, my lips, my ears. So each day of Lent, I will focus on giving one blessing, one grace that God has given me for that day." Sister Cora Marie Billings has been a member of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas for 65 years. During that time she has been a Teacher, a Campus Minister and an Administrator. She is one of the Founding Members of the National Black Sisters’ Conference. Since 1968 she has been an advocate for human rights and anti-racism. As such she has done presentations around the nation. At present she considers herself a Community Volunteer.
