Dear Friend,

Recently riding past a church sign, I read: "Normal is never coming back. Jesus is". It caused me to reflect that actually Jesus comes back again and again for us through the Eucharist! What a ready-made source of powerful grace offered to us!

As we continue to meet our daily personal challenges and confront the multi-faceted difficulties in our nation and the distressful situations in our global community, we remain confident that we are not alone! Jesus' Eucharistic presence for each of us personally provides the grace of the moment most needed!

Asking our God of Boundless Love to encourage your embrace of the graces at work within you each day,
Sister Stephen Anne IHM
IHM CHARISM CONNECTION
DEVOTION TO THE EUCHARISTIC PRESENCE OF JESUS
The IHM Sisters hold the Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament as central to our spirituality!
As we enter this time of Eucharistic Revival, we pray for a new understanding and appreciation of the great gift of self that Jesus provides in the Eucharist!
You can learn more about the Eucharistic Revival.

"Good friends find pleasure in one anothers company. Let us know pleasure in the company of our best Friend, a Friend who can do everything for us, a friend who loves us beyond measure. Here in the Blessed Sacrament we can talk to him straight from the heart." - St. Alphonsus Liguori
This video, explaining the beauty of the Eucharist, is a little out of the ordinary theological commentary. However, it provides great insight into the Eucharist as the "source and summit of our faith" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1324).
See what you think!
This may be a great resource for youth and young adult ministry!
Fr. Anthony Gittins CSSp shares wisdom: "We needlessly complicate life: our own and that of others. If we would listen rather than simply hear what goes in one ear and out of the other
we might pick up the still, small voice: "Only this: act justly, love tenderly. And walk humbly with God."

LEADERSHIP CONNECTION
Be a Champion!
Your Mindset Can Make You A Champion!
A leader with a growth mindset sees opportunities even during times of crisis. They don't curl up in a corner believing all efforts have been wasted and they don't look for anyone to blame. They cultivate in themselves the ability to see promise, not deficit. They do not walk away from failure in defeat, but learn from it!
Immaculata University, founded by the IHM Sisters over 100 years ago, offers students a strong return on their educational investment, a supportive community and preparation for careers and service.
