Lent is a time for a renewal of heart! As we pray in psalm 51, “Create in me a new heart, O God.” What does this mean? For each of us it means conversion, returning to God’s ways. There is always some aspect in our lives in which we are not living fully as God created us to. One of the Core Values of the Sisters of the Living Word is CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME- Earth.

The 2021 SLW Ministry Grant Applications are now open! We, the Sisters of the Living Word, are a community of 46 women religious founded in 1975 and headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Our Mission is to reflect and affirm the Word, Jesus, who frees the oppressed and gives new life.

January 11th is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. This document created by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange shares more on human trafficking, a structured prayer calendar, and information on the National Human Trafficking Hotline (888-373-7888).

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) joins with the world in praying for peace after witnessing the violence and lawlessness yesterday in our nation’s capital. We are deeply concerned about the state of our country and the future of our democracy.

Remembering the bus that I saw going around the city providing for the needs of the homeless, I decided to see what they might have to offer for volunteering.

Many thanks to all who are supporting the SLW All That Jazz Virtual Fundraising event.
