Are announcing . . .
New Sisters for the World
and
New Hope for the Family!
Beloved, our last few emails have been on the “down-ish” side concerning our fight for the Faith, for reverence, holiness and steadfastness in the Truth. We want to bring you now, in contrast, hope – Hope for our Church and Hope for the Family.
First: We have just completed . . .
12 new cells awaiting 12 new Sisters!
Many of you know that we have been, and still are, committed to receiving women of all ages (18-118 in fact!). Understandably then, we now have an imbalance of women over 50. Therefore, we have planned three two-week discernment retreats for this summer for younger women, ages 17 to 35. Here are the dates:
| When: | June 10-24 . . . . . July 8-22 . . . . . and August 5-19 |
| Who: | Young Catholic Women, Ages 17 to 35 |
| Where: | At the Benedictine Monastery of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope 1155 N. FM 2869 – Winnsboro Texas 75494 |
| Email: | vocationinquiry@motherofisraelshope.org |
If you, or you and a friend, are interested in exploring a religious vocation, simply email us at the vocation inquiry email address above and we’ll get right back to you. In the blessed words of Saint Francis de Sales:
“To know whether God will have a person become a religious it is not to be expected that God Himself should speak, or send an angel from heaven to signify His will. It is not necessary that ten or twelve confessors should examine whether the vocation is to be followed. But it is necessary to correspond with the first movement of the inspiration, and to cultivate it, and then not to grow weary if disgust or coldness should come on. If a person acts thus, God will not fail to make all succeed to His glory. Nor ought we to care much from what quarter the first movement comes. The Lord has many ways of calling His servants.”
Second, I think most of us believe that the family has, from the beginning, been God’s design to build His Kingdom – and, therefore, the enemy’s target to destroy. Our primary charism at the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope is to help restore God’s design for the family.
To that end, Mother Miriam will begin a series on her weekday radio podcast, Mother Miriam Live, titled:
Hope for the Family
in the Midst of a World Turned from God
Mother will be going through two extremely wonderful books: The Christian Father and The Christian Mother, both written by Reverend Wilhelm Cramer, and published by Benziger Brothers between 1880-1883. Both books may be purchased online or downloaded for free at: http://catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/The_Christian_Father.pdf and https://catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/The_Christian_Mother.pdf#page=8.
In addition to the live program, which welcomes call-ins and email questions, Mother Miriam Live, may also be watched or simply listened to at any day and time at thestationofthecross.com on Facebook, Rumble, YouTube and other social media outlets.
Here are the details:
| What: | Hope for the Family In the Midst of a World Turned from God |
| When: | Beginning in the Month of the Sacred Heart Monday-Friday, from June 1, 2:00-3:00 p.m.EST |
| Where: | On Mother Miriam Live through The Station of the Cross, Facebook, YouTube, Rumble and other social media outlets. |
This is a wonderful opportunity for men’s/husband’s and women’s/wives study groups!
God bless you all in your holy calling to raise a generation of saints who will restore the family and society to sanity and to the God Who loved us and Who gave Himself for us.
May Our Lord grant you and all whom you love a most blessed and holy Pentecost!
With our love and prayers,
Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, O.S.B.
