The Father's Will
As the New Year begins we “set our faces like flint” (cf Luke 9:51) toward the mission ahead of us: to bring people back to Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist! As part of the Eucharistic Revival in New Hampshire we are beginning Eucharistic Retreats throughout the Diocese. The Retreat Days include Holy Mass, Rosary, Eucharistic Talks, Small Group Discussions, a led Holy Hour with music, and Witness Talks. These days are great opportunities to meet new people, grow in love for our Lord in the Holy Eucharist and set aside time for encountering the Lord in prayer. Find a retreat near you!

Lifeline Against Suicide Team
At the beginning of January, Sister Mary Rose was asked to speak about the Lifeline Against Suicide Team (LAST). LAST is a prayer initiative started in 2012 to pray for those affected by suicide, particularly for people who are tempted to die by suicide; people who have died by suicide; and grieving families and friends.
According to the CDC, suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the USA. In 2020 alone, there were more than 1.2 million known suicide attempts. Sister Mary Rose’s talk gives hope to those who are affected and encourages all to pray for these intentions.
Please join us in prayer! With your love (both in prayer and in deed) help to build a culture of life in which EVERY human person can thrive.
A Music Project
As Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love we feel drawn to not only speak about our Lord and His Healing Love but also to bring people into His Eucharistic Presence to experience Healing Love in Person. At every retreat we include a Holy Hour with simple prayers, meditations and music. There is something special about music that has the ability to touch places in the soul that words alone cannot reach. At our first women’s retreat, over a year ago, we witnessed a little miracle during one of these Holy Hours. A young woman, who was deaf, attended with a sign language interpreter. As the day was ending, one of the Sisters asked her what her favorite part of the day was. “The Holy Hour,” she said. “Because I could hear the sister singing and I could pray.” We were blown away by the Lord’s goodness! What a grace for the woman and what a grace for us! It was a sign to us that the Lord wanted to work miracles through His Eucharistic Presence and that He wanted to do so during these Holy Hours. It was also an encouragement to begin to put out our own music. Sister Mary Eucharista has written some of her own songs as well as put many litanies to music. We hope to publish them one at a time. Please keep this music project in your prayers. View the Shelter lyric video to hear the song!
