The Eucharist reminds us that God doesn’t just want to be with us; he wants to dwell within us. Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas begin this new season on the Eucharist by reflecting on the great gift of the Eucharist and its power to give meaning and purpose to every aspect of our lives. The Sisters conclude the episode by inviting us to allow Jesus to shape our lives by seeking him in his loving Eucharistic presence.

The Sisters of Life are women religious, who profess the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. They were founded by Cardinal John O’Connor in New York in 1991, and received formal approbation as a religious institute in 2004, under Cardinal Edward Egan.
The mission of the Sisters of Life includes serving women who are vulnerable to abortion, giving them the support and resources to be able to choose life for themselves and their children; hosting weekend retreats; evangelization; outreach to college students; and helping women who have suffered after abortion to encounter the mercy and healing of Jesus Christ.
I loved your talk. I wrote down in my book your quote ” God is not just with us, but within us.
Thank you Sisters for your lovely talk full of depth. We need that.
in Christ,
