Jesus rose in the dark. This is the Easter difference: whatever the experience of my life, it’s not the end of my story. Dead places now have potential for life.  In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas look at the Gospel of the Easter Sunday (Jn 20:1-9), and at the first team-effort post-Resurrection: Mary Magdalene runs to Peter and John, who then run to the tomb. We need each other. I can't interpret reality on my own. Others' gifts and gaps are not a threat to me but make up a rich story. The intersection of needs leads to glory. And if God can heal the division of death, how much more He wants to do that in our own lives, and between us. Resurrection is for you. Stay tuned for our next season, coming soon!  

Nothing is little in the sight of Jesus. Nothing is wasted in His sight. The Master says to you, your suffering, your situation: “I have need of you."  In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas, and Sr. Lumen Gloriae unpack the Passion Sunday Gospel for the Procession with Palms (Mark 11:1-10). Jesus invites us to be with Him in friendship this week. Your being is a gift and nothing defines you but the Father’s love. We need to double up on truth. Our efforts of love towards each other cast out darkness; it's important to affirm the being of the other. Every heart is worthy of this reverence and honor. We can put up barriers to receiving. But Jesus shows us about allowing ourselves to receive the love of another.

My weakness and need can bless others. "Every weakness in our life is a near occasion of communion." - Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB.  In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas, and Sr. Catherine Joy Marie look at the Gospel of the Fifth Sunday of Lent (Jn 12:20-33), and talk about how Jesus entered into vulnerability and loneliness and made possible a new, profound communion with God and others. When we step into vulnerability together, lifting our eyes to Him, it's unlike any other experience of communion – it becomes the place of deepest friendship. Our prayer widens when we listen to each other. I can be caught up in what I bring forward, but is there space in my life for others to bless me? And will I let both my weaknesses and gifts bless others? Join us on Mondays for Season 13: Let's Do Lent Together!

If you have any hint of despair, discouragement, or are feeling stuck, or things are not going as you thought they would be — the Father is saying today to you: "I love you; I see you." In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, Sr. Marie Veritas, and Sr. Catherine Joy Marie look at the Gospel of the Fourth Sunday in Lent, exploring how Jesus is the light and desires to meet us in places of darkness (Jn 3:14-21). We settle for a flashlight and God wants to give us the sun. Jesus comes to save us - that's what He wants.  He desires to come into your personal hell and lift you up. Every heart is created with a crave for God. He wants to satisfy our deepest longing, and He allowed Himself to be wounded so there is a way for us to come into His Heart. 

You are important to Jesus. Every detail of your life is important to Him. You are worth fighting for. In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas are joined by Sr. Lumen Gloriae as they look at the Gospel of the Third Sunday in Lent, uncovering the mystery of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (Jn 2: 13-22). Jesus is passionate about anything that gets in the way of our access to the Father. He is always motivated by love, and He is fighting for us - will we let Him in? Proceeding every conversion is a readiness for change, and communion with God and one another is an incalculable treasure worth fighting for. Be not afraid!

God wants to talk to you. He wants to be in conversation with you, in the real reality of your life. And He invites you to encounter Him not just solo, but with friends. In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas look at the Gospel of the Second Sunday of Lent (Mk 9: 2-10), and how communication is at the heart of life - how we're constantly being invited into the conversation of heaven. Being in communion with Jesus and each other is more natural and authentic to our humanity than anything else. And being listened to opens up new worlds in the heart. You can listen someone back to life.  Join us on Mondays for Season 13: Let's Do Lent Together!

The whole point of Lent is communion with God and each other. We're not meant to be alone. In this episode, Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas look at the Gospel of the First Sunday of Lent (Mk 1:12-15), and how Jesus gravitates to our places of darkness and temptation and unifies Himself with us there. He's unashamed to be with us; He does battle for us, to bring us good news and to heal division. Renewal comes from a preoccupation with unity - allowing ourselves to be unified with Our Lord in the desert, and with our brothers and sisters, changes the game.
