SISTERS, SERVANTS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY Immaculata, PA

IHM Catholic Education Newsletter SEPTEMBER 2022

Animated by the IHM Charism ... Embracing the Mission with Love, Creative Hope & Fidelity!

Hello Do you feel like being a revolutionary? Game on! We are invited to a revolution of tenderness! "How wonderful would it be if the growth of scientific and technological innovation would come along with more equality and social inclusion," Pope Francis said. "How wonderful would it be, while we discover faraway planets, to rediscover the needs of the brothers and sisters orbiting around us. How wonderful would it be if solidarity — this beautiful and, at times, inconvenient word — were not simply reduced to social work and became, instead, the default attitude in political, economic and scientific choices, as well as in the relationships among individuals, peoples and countries." Praying you discover the grace to be a daily revolutionary, spreading the tenderness of our God of Boundless Love wherever you find yourself! Sincerely, Sister Stephen Anne IHM

IHM CHARISM CONNECTION Know Your Purpose!

The IHM Sisters are committed to building up the Body of Christ! You, too, by your baptismal consecration, are invited to do the same! That makes us collaborators in the work of sharing the Gospel message! In the IHM Sisters' Rule of Life called Faithful Witness, the Sisters express that their purpose is to combine contemplation with apostolic love as they witness and give service to God's people, as Joyful Bearers of God's Redeeming Love! (F.W. #6)
