Living our best lives

When Sr. Maureen McGuire, DC, Ascension’s longtime Chief Mission Integration Officer, decided it was time to step down from her role with our ministry, she left a legacy of service that few could match.

In fact, as noted in this edition of Good Day Ascension, the Catholic Health Association of the United States bestowed on her its Lifetime Achievement Award this summer.

“The whole journey of every person is about meaning more, and the ultimate more is God,” she said. “The sense of God’s calling unfolds in your life.”

Sr. Maureen chose to become a member of the Daughters of Charity in order to live a life fully devoted to service. Few are called to such a life, but all of us have opportunities throughout our lives and careers to listen to God’s call and be part of building the kingdom of God on earth. What do you do to help ensure that you’re living your best life both at work and at home? How do you answer God’s call in your everyday encounters with others? What can we all do to help others in their quest to live their own calling?
