True Sisterhood

Family can be complicated. Many of us have estranged family members; some people are disconnected from their relatives for the sake of their mental (and sometimes physical!) health.

You might have a wonderful, supportive family with whom you make beautiful memories. Maybe your family is somewhere in the past, where they can’t do you any more harm.

It’s true when they say you can choose your family. If you’re a Christian, it’s not only a matter of picking people you like. Christians are united by the blood of Jesus.

That means you have sisters all over the place. What a gift from the Lord!

Think About It

This week, I started a group for Catholic women and Catechumens called Roses For Mary. The objective for this group is to welcome converts, giving them a firm understanding of the Catholic faith. I also want to make sure they know that—no matter what stage of life they’re in—they’re not alone.

As more ladies join and introduce themselves, I am filled with joy. Young ladies, mothers, new wives and unmarried women like me—we are coming together from across the world. We are united with the goal of learning about Jesus and His Catholic Church.

Are you a Catholic woman? You belong in this group too! Drop a comment and I’ll give you the link!

Sisters in Christ do not only share the bond of having parents in common. We understand the joy of the Christian life and have our eyes open to catch every blessing that He sends our way.

Sisters in Christ offer support and love, doubled in power by the presence of Christ in between them. They are committed to learning about God together, knowing that His goodness can be found everywhere. Sisters in Christ and daughters of the Church, the Bride of Jesus, together will raise a new generation of little Saints.

Do not wallow in loneliness; be encouraged to look for true sisterhood. Make sure you’re searching in the right place. Search where Love is present and ready to shower us with abundant gifts.

Pray Now

True sisterhood cares for the soul of the other. True sisterhood prays.

No matter what kind of blood family you have, find solace in your church family—and in your heavenly family, the Saints, who are always praying for you.

Ask God to lead you to those who will make up your true family. Pray that He will send honest people into your life who will remember you in prayer. This is true sisterhood.

As Jesus said about family:
