JMJV Reflection for the First Sunday of Advent My Dear Good People, Beginning today, the First Sunday of Advent, 2021, let us consider Our Lady and St. Joseph as they journey through the wondrous Christmas story that we have heard since
“May the words of the ‘Litany of Thanksgiving’ echo in our hearts as a daily prayer…so that we may find ourselves more firmly united in a charity that sings: ‘We give You thanks, O Lord.’” ~ Mother Marie Alma, SCMC
“Be a witness of great devotion to Mary showing the faithful that you have much confidence in her power and intercession.” ~ Bishop John Zwijsen
“May Mary, Mother of the Church, bless us and keep us One.” ~ Mother Marie Alma, SCMC Thank you for being a part of our family. God bless you!
Divine Dialogue of God with the Soul My Dear Good People, Recently I spent two hours watching the marriage of Crown Prince Frederik and Mary Elizabeth Donaldson of Australia which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2004. The pomp and circumstance was breathtaking.
“May the courage of Christ clothe us as we fearlessly and hopefully pray together and work together.” ~Mother Marie Alma, SCMC Thank you for joining us on our Mission!
“Never put off any good work, and always do it as well as possible.” ~ Bishop John Zwijsen
JMJV Divine Dialogue of God with the Soul Today we come to the last Sunday in Ordinary Time—next week we will celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, and the following week will be the First Sunday of Advent. The Church has us
JMJV Divine Dialogue of God With the Soul We can probably all remember times when we were children when someone, an aunt, maybe, gave us a present for our birthday that didn’t suit us. At first we might have been upset or hurt
“You are doing an act of Charity which is very meritorious when you pray for others.” ~ Bishop John Zwijsen Let us remember this especially during November, a month dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory.
“Every moment may be the last; one moment will be the last; the last moment decides for all eternity.” ~ Bishop John Zwijsen Let us pray for the souls of those who have gone before us. God bless you!
“We seek to be, not an invisible witness for Christ, but one which the world can readily recognize.” ~ Mother Marie Alma, SCMC We are all called to be saints in accordance with God’s Will for each of us; so, how does the world recognize

As Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church we embrace our two-fold mission of sanctity and service. In a spirit of simplicity we aspire to live a life rooted in the Gospel, in imitation of Mary and expressed by prayer, charity, self sacrifice and loving obedience. We devote ourselves to the works of charity, and as true daughters in the heart of the Church, we serve others through the apostolates of education, caring for the sick, the aging and the poor, wherever there is a need.
