the light of hope?”

that transforms everything it touches
into things beautiful
and pleasing to God.”
— St. Faustina
Labors of Love
The sacred Easter season is perennially one of prayer and ritual. Churches, chapels, altars and other prayer spaces are lovingly adorned with symbols of the season for each day of Holy Week and the joyful celebration of the Resurrection. Read about and see how some of our Sisters prepared for last week’s special days of both sorrow and rejoice.
