Message From the Prioress

Throughout the week, we will be sharing our gratitude with you through our website, social media platforms and email, so be sure to follow us. Thank you for your generous gifts of time, talent and treasure. We are grateful for you!

Daily Meditation for August 4, 2020

/in /by

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
(St. Paul to the Ephesians 4:1–6)
