It can be very easy to go into auto-pilot during Mass. If you have been going to Mass long enough, you may not even need to think about the words you say or the actions you take. However, did you know that at Mass, God is reaching out to you in a personal way? Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas reflect on the enormous impact that Mass can have on your life. They encourage each of us to enter more deeply into the Mass so that ultimately, we can enter into deeper friendship with the Lord.

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!
