JANUARY 2023
Animated by the IHM Charism of Love, Creative Hope & Fidelity..... Embracing the Mission

Dear Friend,

New Year 2023 blessings!
You may recognize this quote from Buzz Lightyear of Toy Story fame, "To Infinity and Beyond"! This phrase implies unlimited possibilities which seems rather appropriate as we enter a new year! Having just celebrated Christmas, we re-energize our confidence that God-is-with-us as we navigate our every day lives.We have invited Jesus in and there is no going back! Sister Melannie Svoboda SND reflects on this Jesus we have invited into our lives: "...he comes to us in the persistent call to ever-expanding love, to humble and joyful service, and to ever-deepening trust in the real God - whose power, goodness and love are far beyond anything we can imagine."

Asking God to bless you in 2023 with the graces you need for your personal best " unlimited possibilities" of bringing more kindness and compassion to those you encounter, sincerely,
Sister Stephen Anne IHM
