She dreamed of the sisters going forth into the world to help others. While she was unable to do this in her lifetime, the foundation she established in Ireland allowed the Presentation Sisters to plant themselves across the world to keep her dream alive.<\/p>\n<p>Nano\u2019s ministry was established in Cork. In her heart, she desired to serve beyond Ireland. With a deep love and trust of her God, she carried the hope that her sisters would fulfill this call. Much of this realization came through Nano\u2019s prayer time, which was a priority for her when she wasn\u2019t teaching the children or caring for the sick. She would sit in St. Finbarr\u2019s Church to pray and wait to hear God\u2019s voice. \u201cShe was listening to what God was calling her to do. She was listening to the Spirit, being attentive to what the needs were, and then finding a way,\u201d Sister Vicky Larson said.<\/p>\n<p>Nano heard God and responded. Then took one-step at a time and planted one school at a time. The way wasn\u2019t revealed to her all at once, but slowly over time.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Vicky is a member of the Aberdeen Presentation Sisters.\u00a0 She said that the Presentation Sisters also take time for prayer and do what they call communal discernment so they can have foresight. The sisters will gather in small groups and discuss a need or an injustice to consider. She said it is\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 a slow and methodical process. They quiet themselves internally to listen to one another and focus on getting the head and heart connected to make wise decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe head part is the logic; what\u2019s the injustice that I notice and what steps can I take? But it\u2019s really the heart piece that gives it energy,\u201d Sister Vicky explained.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Vicky encourages readers and the city of Sioux Falls to have foresight by focusing on what will make things better for the children. To realize our dreams, it\u2019s important to nurture our hearts and our spirits, and listen to what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell you. Sister Vicky says to take a few minutes each day to embrace the quiet to listen. You can do this while praying or going for a walk. It\u2019s also necessary to discuss with others what injustices you see and what you can do together to work on them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t have the best foresight if we\u2019re not listening to everybody in our community,\u201d Sister Vicky said. \u201cNano believed in a living future, a future filled with hope and love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sister Vicky Larson is the baccalaureate nursing program director and associate professor of nursing at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn. Additionally, she serves on the Presentation Sisters\u2019 Leadership Team working to help strategize for the emerging future.

When the Sisters see a need, they act upon it in a mission, prayer- filled way. Their vision has helped many companies today plan and better understand the diverse cultures that make up our community.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px;\">Jim Woster, founder and board president of the Stockyards Ag Experience<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/siouxfallswoman\/docs\/sfw_jj2018-issuu\">Foresight Article in Sioux Falls Woman Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We continue our partnership with Sioux Falls Woman Magazine, promoting the mission of the Presentation Sisters.
