Mother Frances Streitel: Developing the talents God gave her

Amalia Frances Rose Streitel aka Mother Frances Streitel, Foundress of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, and, as a Maria Stern Franciscan, known as Sister Angela.  Sister Angela’s leadership abilities were quickly recognized by her superiors. Her first assignment as a teacher in a local school in  Noerdlingen lasted only three years, at which time she was assigned as superior and administrator of a girl’s school for languages and needlework.  She not only proved herself very competent in leadership skills but also proficient in languages and talented in the art of needlework. How did God use Mother Frances’ ability to lead to achieve His purposes for her?  What are your strengths and how might God use them to achieve the purpose for which He created you? Do you know what that purpose is?  Why do you believe that leadership skills are very important in any walk in life and especially for women religious?
