Now on the cusp of the sixtieth anniversary of the SSJs living in Goiânia, Urberlândia, and Paranaiguara, Brazil, The Good Rain, Volume II by Sister Monica Weis, fleshes out the expanding pastoral work of the sisters from 2001-2024, the Brazilification of their mission with native leadership, and the pastoral challenges of a changing church. Based on archival data and personal stories of the sisters' activities in several dioceses, the reader is invited to share their enthusiasm for the experimental intercongregational community in Felisburgo, their compassionate response to the tragic earthquake in Peru, and the disruption created by Covid-19. Despite deaths and personal losses, the sisters continue to sow seeds of hope, exert a positive influence in their neighborhoods, share their deep spirituality with their parish communities and, most recently, with new SSJ lay Associates. Indeed, this story of risk-taking and ongoing prayerful commitment links the 17th century portrait of a Sister of St. Joseph - as one with 'Eyes open, ears attentive, spirit alert. . . sleeves rolled up for ministry' - with the courageous women who today live in the interior of Brazil. Gratefully, the "good rain" continues to fall on fertile soil.
