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! Join us on Mondays for Season 13: Let's Do Lent Together!

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. Join us on Mondays for Season 13: Let's Do Lent Together!

The secret to peace is a Woman who is both little and sovereign. Your peace matters to her - she understands your sadnesses and aches, desires and longings... and so, through the power of her Son, she crushes the serpent's head. She never takes her gaze off of you. In this episode, Sr. Marie Veritas, Sr. Mary Grace, and Sr. Ann Immaculée look at the First Reading of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God: Numbers 6:22-27, and discuss the power of a mother's love, dispel misconceptions about Mary, and talk about how her purity makes her not distant, but actually closer to us. And, as special New Year's gift to you, this episode includes a new Sisters of Life original song, "Song to Mary: Blessed Union". We hope it blesses you! You are in our prayers this New Year's Day!

Peace is a person, and He comes for you, personally, intentionally, today. He's not afraid of our mess. God comes into our ache.

And, as special Christmas gift to you, this episode includes a new Sisters of Life original song, "Yeshua, Save Me". We hope it blesses you!

Jesus not only wants to heal us and set us free - He wants to exalt our souls! In this episode, Sr. Marie Veritas, Sr. Mary Grace, and Sr. Ann Immaculée look at the First Reading of the Third Sunday of Advent: Isaiah 61:1-2A, 10-11, and chat about how God wants to give us more than we can ever imagine. Join us on Mondays for Season 12: Prepare for Peace - Walk With Us This Advent and Christmas!

We don’t have to be afraid of our desires for big things. In this episode, Sr. Marie Veritas, Sr. Mary Grace, and Sr. Ann Immaculée unpack the First Reading of the Second Sunday of Advent: Isaiah 40: 1-5, 9-11. They chat about how God helps us see in our hearts what’s obstructing our view of Him and how He makes a way in the deserts of our lives - making possible what is impossible. Join us on Mondays for Season 12: Prepare for Peace - Walk With Us This Advent and Christmas!

The Father is holding my story, even when it doesn’t feel like it. In this episode, Sr. Marie Veritas, Sr. Mary Grace, and Sr. Ann Immaculée unpack the First Reading of the First Sunday of Advent: Is 63: 16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7, and wrestle with the tension of God’s providential care and the human experience of sorrow and difficulty. God promises us that He is going to show up, He’s going to be Father, but it might be suprising. Nobody expected a baby in a manger. Often, He gives peace in a way we’re not expecting. Join us on Mondays for Season 12: Prepare for Peace - Walk With Us This Advent and Christmas!

Where you are peace-less, look up - that’s where He is coming. Where I can’t, He comes. In your need is the next encounter, so do not be afraid! "I can’t" isn't the end of the story - it’s the beginning of Advent. Believe that peace is possible. Join Sr. Marie Veritas, Sr. Mary Grace, and Sr. Ann Immaculée as we dive into the First Reading from the Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe: Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17.

In Lent, God revealed His desire to bring more life into our lives. In Holy Week, Jesus comes to us, right where we are and has said the final word. We can believe in the power of the Resurrection and welcome the joy of new life. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we claim the Easter difference together. Be not afraid. This is just the beginning.

In Holy Week, Christ is waiting to receive us. He is here wherever we find ourselves. There is no suffering Christ has not entered and not a moment He is not with us. This is good news. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we look at what this Holy Week entails. We're being invited to be with Him as the Father holds nothing back from us.

We're in the the last week of Lent and on the onramp to Holy Week. We all need to hold onto Someone and these days, it's a dare to trust. We need not fear because we are on a first name basis with God. In this week, we discover that there is life for me in the darkness. Do I believe Jesus can do it? Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we continue the journey together and find joy and strength in calling on His Name. He who claims to be the Life and the Resurrection is with us.

God is in our midst and in the day to day Jesus passes by. He finds us where we are and he is inviting us to see reality through His eyes. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we ponder the process of being made new in Jesus Christ and together let the Light break in. Lets look for God's wonders.

God is inscribed everywhere and Lent is a season of hope. He is asking for the heart of your heart and we have the chance to turn it over to Him. He is that place we are looking for. Christ thirsts for our misery and He starts where we are today. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we ask together 'Where is God seeking to meet me?' Because Jesus wants to go to the depths of who you are.

There is a gift given in the desert without conditions. Jesus wants to reveal Himself to us and let His glory into our life. Because our heart has been God claimed and we can stay where we are - loved, beloved, belonging. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we together lean into the certainty of Him who says to each of us today “Rise and look at Me.” We are made for glory and it awaits us in the desert.

We need the desert. Jesus was driven there by love and has claimed our deserts as His own. We have the gift of a new way and its about a Spirit-reliance. The Spirit wants to give us gifts and is waiting to flood our heart in the desert. Join us as we launch into the First Week of Lent together and seek the oasis of the Word.

Its the Monday before Lent. Ash Wednesday is coming up. And the desert is rich. There are profound gifts, personal gifts for you that Jesus is inviting you to claim. This place is loaded with gifts and God is giving us the blueprint of how to be human again. Good things happen when we let go. Join us for this new Season as we journey together in Lent and look at the One who is going with us in and throughout this journey: Jesus Christ.

Jesus is not virtual, He actually came. We have a Savior, He's here and He wants in. In Jesus we find all the grace we need. God is now accessible to all and in Him we have received everything. God has now opened Himself up totally to a relationship with us and in Him we find the way in our lives. This Advent Season has been all about opening the doors of our hearts that He may come. We have become aware of places we’re poor and now is the time to stay open and come close to Jesus, who can fit right in and bring new life. It's real, it's an awesome gift. Join us as we break open the mystery together.

This Episode is what life is all about. We're talking about the theme of Love. Its what we want the most and its the perfect prep for Christmas. Love is a person and He is coming. At the heart of this journey is a profound invitation; will we choose to welcome Love into our unique journey? Join us in this last week before Christmas, where there is anticipation, preparations and the unexpected happens!

We are beginning to taste the promised Joy of Christmas. There is an invitation to hold fast to these final weeks we look forward to Jesus coming anew into our lives. We’ve committed to this journey and here lies a new invitation. Ponder with us as we consider the deeper joys on this journey of freedom. It takes faith, trust and courage. Join us as we take this next step of faith together.

When it comes to living in peace, we all get tested. It's a battle everyday and it needs to be claimed. How do we bring life and love into situations that lack peace? How can we bring something new to these situations? How do we stay in peace? Its easy to get irked. That's why we're talking about this. Advent is a journey into that deeper interior peace that we all long for. Peace is a Person, and He is with us. This is at the centre of human heart - we long for deep, real, satisfying peace. Let's talk about it.

Life is a surprise. Advent teaches us that the journey of faith is not a straight line. It's not what we expect and far beyond we can measure, figure out and plans for. In creation, in the exchange of gifts at Christmas, in the presence being with each other - all the time, every day, we see the surprising ways of God and of grace. Join us as we talk about stories that show us what it means to let God surprise us and how it blesses us. Let's hit the reality that God wants to surprise us this Advent. He wants to surprises with deep profound gifts of his love and the ultimate gift of his son. Are our hearts ready?

We invite you to join us as we journey through Advent together! For the first time we will walk, week by week, as we discover what is held out to us in this special season of grace. It's a unique time to prepare for the coming of Jesus. Marked by desire, thirst and longing - we’re reminded that we need a Savior and can rejoice that we have one. It's a time to wait, because I know there is someone who loves me, wants to save me. Theres a point to this journey and we're on our way. Join us.

We’ve been praying. But sometimes it seems like God doesn't answer us. I can't hear God and it doesn't seem to work. What now? A lot of life is living right here. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace for a candid conversation on going to Mary and leaning on her. It's the place of strength and she leads us to Jesus who is the Way.

We’re born thirsty for love. We need a Word to give direction, to satisfy the thirst in every heart for something more. The Father has answered in Jesus. His Word is Love and shows us how to get home, how to live & how to find answers. Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we talk about the Word we all need.

Life can be hard and there is pressure to lose hope. At the heart of every experience is the question: who is with me? Is God for real when He promises that He is? It's a bold question that takes a bold response. Join Sr. Agnus Dei & Sr. Mary Grace as we talk about the difference it makes when we center our life around His Life in the Eucharist. It's the love we want - total, unsparing, self sacrificing, given, will not and cannot be taken back or taken away. This is Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It does exist.

We are always preparing for something. We all have routines. What about prayer? Prayer involves all of us. We are preparing for the relationship, connection and communion that we thirst for most. How can I prepare my heart? What does that look like practically? What's God up to in this whole reality? Join Sr. Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we chat about "getting in the zone."

Trust has to do with everything. There's a lot of trust involved in life and in prayer. What we experience in life, we can carry with us into prayer and into our relationship with God. Trust makes us vulnerable, but God doesn't let us down. We are not alone. Join Sr. Marie Agnus Dei & Sr. Mary Grace as we talk about inviting Jesus in and letting Him show up.

There is no thirst that you bring to God that will not be satisfied. Join Sr. Marie Agnus Dei and Sr. Mary Grace as we dive into this new season talking about 'How to Pray.' Why Pray? Because we are thirsty. There is a Source and there is Someone who wants to satisfy us. Let's get connected.

SEASON 8: HOW TO PRAY...Episode 1 coming soon: Monday, September 19!

Being a saint is about becoming who you are. Holiness is about letting Love be unleashed in our lives. In this episode, Sr. Mariae Agnus Dei, SV and Sr. Marie Veritas, SV talk about what holiness is, how we can live it, and some examples we see of real sanctity.

Every stage of life can sanctify us, if we let it. In this episode, Sr. Mariae Agnus Dei, SV and Sr. Marie Veritas, SV talk about how God is with us in each moment - in the vulnerabilities and uncertainties of childhood, adulthood, and old age - and how we can give our hearts and minds space to learn how to let Love unfold the beautiful within us.

There are a lot of ways to "do life." How do you live? In this episode, Sr. Mariae Agnus Dei, SV and Sr. Marie Veritas, SV unpack what intentional living looks like: we can either approach leadership, home, work, relationships, and God with a stance of control, fear, or indifference, or we can let Love unfold the beautiful in us by approaching it all with an attitude of receptivity, love, and craftsmanship.

Laughter lets Love in. In this episode, Sr. Mariae Agnus Dei, SV and Sr. Marie Veritas, SV talk about how true humor can open us up to God and help us see reality with fresh eyes.
